OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). The Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of a Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis tables. The Expense Analysis tables do not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. These Expense Analyses are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analyses are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the tables, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the tables, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the tables, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Funds’ actual expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect.

OF FUND EXPENSES (continued)

 

 

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. Each Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Funds’ expenses reflected on page 4, the Funds also indirectly bear their portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in each table on page 4 does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP American Allocation Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP American Balanced Allocation Fund, LVIP American Growth Allocation Fund and LVIP American Income Allocation Fund (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are non-diversified management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act. Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Funds’ shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in the American Funds Insurance Series® funds and American Funds® retail funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds, which are advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, each Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The investment objective of the LVIP American Balanced Allocation Fund is to seek to have a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with an emphasis on growth of capital.

The investment objective of the LVIP American Growth Allocation Fund is to seek to have a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on growth of capital.

The investment objective of the LVIP American Income Allocation Fund is to seek to have a high level of current income with some consideration given to growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation–The Funds value Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on each Funds’ federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Funds on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of each Fund’s investment portfolio, and providing certain administrative services to each Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fees indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.05% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) and LIAC.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds. For these services, the Funds reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statements of Operations. The Funds reimburse Lincoln Life for the cost of these services. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, these fees were as follows:

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Funds. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statements of Operations. The Funds reimburse Lincoln Life for the cost of these services. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, these fees were as follows:

Printing and mailing

     $ 7,600        $ 5,570        $ 1,747  

The Funds offer Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to their distribution and service plan, the Funds are authorized to pay out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or other, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is currently 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statements of Operations, the Funds indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which they invest. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Funds may own different amounts of shares of these funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Funds had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

Certain officers and trustees of the Funds are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Funds. The Funds pay compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Funds held 5% or more of the investments companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds or ETFs). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Funds and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable

for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

LVIP American Century Select Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

LVIP American Century Select Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP American Century Select Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP American Century Select Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund (formerly LVIP American Century VP Mid Cap Value Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all its assets in other open-end investment companies, primarily the American Century VP Mid Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). The American Century VP Mid Cap Value Fund, which is advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invests at least 80% of its assets in medium size companies. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all the open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or

sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolios, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser(s), and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. Effective May 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.69% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive its entire advisory fee. The waiver amount was 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

Effective May 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.06% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.41% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.00% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.35% for the Service Class.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser(s) a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for the administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 4,690   

Legal

     1,208   
 

 

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimbursed Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $4,282 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $11,541 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 185,562,813   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 5,273,138

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

LVIP American Century Select Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund–10


LVIP American Century Select Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

3. Investments (continued)

 

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Investment Companies

   $ 190,835,951   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ (1,412,129
  

 

 

 
 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusion

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

LVIP American Funds

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of a Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis tables. The Expense Analysis tables do not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. These Expense Analyses are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analyses are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the tables, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the tables, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the tables, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Funds’ actual expenses shown in the tables reflect expense reimbursements in effect for the LVIP American Global Small Capitalization Fund.

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. Each Fund invests substantially all of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Funds’ expenses reflected above, the Funds also indirectly bear their portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP American Global Growth Fund, LVIP American Global Small Capitalization Fund, LVIP American Growth Fund, LVIP American Growth-Income Fund and LVIP American International Fund (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are diversified management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act. Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The LVIP American Global Growth Fund, LVIP American Global Small Capitalization Fund, LVIP American Growth Fund, LVIP American Growth-Income Fund and LVIP American International Fund operate under a fund of funds structure and invest substantially all of their assets in Class 1 shares of the Global Growth Fund, Global Small Capitalization Fund, Growth Fund, Growth-Income Fund and International Fund, respectively, each a series of the American Funds Insurance Series® (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments.

The investment objective of the LVIP American Global Growth Fund, LVIP American Global Small Capitalization Fund and LVIP American International Fund is long-term growth of capital.

The investment objective of the LVIP American Growth Fund is growth of capital.

The investment objective of the LVIP American Growth-Income Fund is long-term growth of capital and income.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation–The Funds value Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Funds’ federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012-December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expenses and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of each Fund’s investment portfolio, and providing certain administrative services to each Fund. To the extent that a Fund invests all of its investable assets (i.e., securities and cash) in another registered investment company, the Trust will not pay the adviser any advisory fees. To the extent a Fund does not invest investable assets in another registered investment company, the advisory fee rates payable by the Service Class II of each Fund to LIAC are set forth in the following table:

 

Fund

  

Annual Fee Rate
Based on
Average Daily
Net Asset Value

LVIP American Global Growth Fund

    0.80%

LVIP American Global Small Capitalization Fund

    1.00%

LVIP American Growth Fund

    0.75%

LVIP American Growth-Income Fund

    0.75%

LVIP American International Fund

    0.85%

The fee is in addition to the management fees indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, no advisory fees were charged to the Funds.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the LVIP American Global Small Capitalization Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.10% of the average daily net assets. This agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (Board) and LIAC.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds. For these services, the Funds reimburse Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Funds. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statements of Operations. The Funds reimburse Lincoln Life for the cost of these services. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, these fees amounted as follows:

    $ 8,893       $ 10,979       $ 48,200       $ 10,059       $ 8,638  

The Funds offer Service Class II shares. Pursuant to their distribution and service plan, the Funds are authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class II shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.75% of average daily net assets of the Service Class II shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class II shares. The limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statements of Operations, the Funds indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which they invest. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Funds may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. These Expense Analyses are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analyses are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the tables, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the tables, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the tables, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Expenses Paid During Period are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. Each Fund invests significantly all its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Funds’ expenses reflected above, the Funds also indirectly bear their portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in each table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements of the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP American Global Allocation Managed Risk Funds–12


LVIP American Global Allocation Managed Risk Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP American Global Balanced Allocation Managed Risk Fund and LVIP American Global Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund (formerly LVIP Managed Risk American Balanced Allocation Fund and LVIP Managed Risk American Growth Allocation Fund) (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are non-diversified management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act. Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in the American Funds Insurance Series® funds and American Funds® retail funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds, which are advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Funds may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employ an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The investment objective of the LVIP American Global Balanced Allocation Managed Risk Fund is to seek a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital.

The investment objective of the LVIP American Global Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund is to seek a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Funds value Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on each Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012-December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Funds on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Funds’ prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Funds do not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Funds report certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series within the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e. the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Funds’ investment portfolios and providing certain administrative services to the Funds. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds. The fee is in addition to the management fees indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC).

Effective May 1, 2016, Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Funds’ managed risk strategy. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Funds’ investment portfolios. For these services, LIAC, not the Funds, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds. For these services, the Funds reimburse Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, fees for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

     LVIP American Global Balanced
Allocation Managed Risk Fund
     LVIP American Global Growth
Allocation Managed Risk Fund

Administrative

     $ 55,069          $ 108,045

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statements of Operations. The Funds reimburse Lincoln Life for the cost of these services. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, these fees were as follows:

 

     LVIP American Global Balanced
Allocation Managed Risk Fund
     LVIP American Global Growth
Allocation Managed Risk Fund

Trading operation

     $ 11,669          $ 22,879  

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Funds. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statements of Operations. The Funds reimburse Lincoln Life for the cost of these services. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, these fees were as follows:

 

     LVIP American Global Balanced
Allocation Managed Risk Fund
     LVIP American Global Growth
Allocation Managed Risk Fund

Printing and mailing

     $ 24,712          $ 32,138  

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statements of Operations, the Funds indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which they invest. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Funds may own different amounts of shares of these funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Funds had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

     LVIP American Global Balanced
Allocation Managed Risk Fund
     LVIP American Global Growth
Allocation Managed Risk Fund

Management fees payable to LIAC

     $ 409,366          $ 790,364  

Distribution fees payable to LFD

       572,924            1,106,184  

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

       178            2,555  

Certain officers and trustees of the Funds are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Funds. The Funds pay compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Funds held 5% or more of the investments companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Funds and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–Each Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. Each Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, each Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds deposit U.S. or foreign cash or pledge U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to a Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for various series of the Trust (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Milliman prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and Milliman provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of Milliman, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information and LIAC and Milliman provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC, and Milliman to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of each Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for each Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the sub-advisory agreement between LIAC and Milliman with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Milliman under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that Milliman has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for each Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing each Fund’s managed risk strategy to Milliman as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending Milliman be appointed a sub-adviser for the managed risk strategy of the Funds, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the futures based managed risk overlay services provided by Milliman as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Funds. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Milliman, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Funds, Milliman’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for the Funds, and the reputation, resources and investment approach of Milliman. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that Milliman has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the Funds’ futures based managed risk strategy and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted Milliman’s view that the sub-advisory fees proposed by Milliman were competitive compared to other registered fund and institutional clients that employ the same futures based managed risk strategy as used for the Funds. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by Milliman as to any additional benefits it would receive and noted Milliman’s statement that the Sub-Advisory Agreement may strengthen Milliman’s name recognition as well as create non-pecuniary benefits from synergies related to conducting risk management programs for clients in large volume.

Overall Conclusions. Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Funds.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests significantly all of its assets in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP American Preservation Fund–7


LVIP American Preservation Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A Shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP American Preservation Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests significantly all of its assets in other open-end investment companies that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”), American Funds Insurance Series® Funds and American Funds® retail funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek current income, consistent with the preservation of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investments companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the

 

LVIP American Preservation Fund–8


LVIP American Preservation Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC). LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administrative expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 13,307   

Legal

     3,425   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administrative expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounts to $2,816 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $4,988 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 63,598   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     148,375   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

     756   

The Fund operates as a “fund of funds” structure in reliance on an SEC exemptive order (Release No. 29196). One of the conditions of the order requires that LIAC waive fees otherwise payable to it by a fund of fund in an amount at least equal to any compensation received by LIAC and its affiliates from an unaffiliated Underlying Fund, other than advisory fees (if any) paid to LIAC and its affiliates for managing an unaffiliated Underlying Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, LIAC waived $2,816.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

3. Investments (continued)

 

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments)

(e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

 

Investment Companies

   $ 535,145,525   
  

 

 

 
 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

LVIP AQR Enhanced Global Strategies Fund–15


LVIP AQR Enhanced Global Strategies Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP AQR Enhanced Global Strategies Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security or ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. The changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of the distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

Post Enactment Losses (No Expiration)

  Short-Term     Long-Term        Total

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

There were no Level 3 investments at the end of the period.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract

counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund held the following assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

On June 7, 2016, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved a plan of liquidation (“Plan”) for the Fund, and submission of the Plan to the beneficial owners of the Fund, including contract owners of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts who have selected the Fund for investment through those policies or contracts and therefore have a beneficial interest in shares of the Fund (“Beneficial Owners”). The liquidation of the Fund will occur only if the Plan is approved by its Beneficial Owners. The Fund will be mailing Beneficial Owners a proxy statement with important information they should consider before voting on the plan.

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP Baron Growth Opportunities Fund–7


LVIP Baron Growth Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Baron Growth Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”) and unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation through long-term investments in securities of small and mid-sized companies with undervalued assets or favorable growth prospects.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures, or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not elibible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addtion, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund invests in master limited partnerships (MLPs) which make distributions that are primarily attributable to return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital in the Statement of Operations using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in the distributions received from each MLP based on historical information from the MLPs and other industry sources. These estimates may be adjusted based on information received from the MLPs after the tax and fiscal year ends.

The return of capital portion of the MLP distributions is a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed its cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income and return of capital are only determined by each MLP after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amounts. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund estimated that 100% of the MLP distributions received would be treated as a return of capital.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. The commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $2,041 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee as follows: 0.00% on the first $250 million of average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.05% on the next $250 million, 0.10% on the next $250 million; and 0.15% in excess of $750 million of average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

BAMCO, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) a subsidiary of Baron Capital Group, Inc., provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the Fund. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, cost for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 13,439   

Legal

     3,698   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and Statements to Shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $29,438 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)

 

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

     410,492   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     100,459   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     2,000   

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $24,984.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

   $ 31,756,223   

Sales

     58,504,932   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 268,668,066   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 256,830,050   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (12,213,510
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 244,616,540   
  

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risks that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in small-and mid-sized companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small-or mid-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities are determined to be illiquid.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Event

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP BlackRock Dividend Value Managed Volatility Fund–9


LVIP BlackRock Dividend Value Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP BlackRock Dividend Value Managed Volatility Fund (formerly, LVIP BlackRock Equity Dividend Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek reasonable income by investing primarily in income-producing equity securities.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions– Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund, and 0.70% of average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $500 million. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. Effective May 1, 2016, the waiver amount is 0.11% on the first $750 million of average daily net assets of the Fund and 0.15% of average daily net assets in excess of $750 million.

BlackRock Investment Management LLC (“BlackRock”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays BlackRock a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays SSGA a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized, due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

                        Pre-Enactment
Short-Term Capital
Losses Expiring In
   Post-Enactment
Losses (No Expiration)*
         
  

2017

    Short-Term      Long-Term        Total      
   $36,214,077    $40,534,214    $20,899,956     $97,648,247    

*Capital loss carryovers with no expiration must be utilized first.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default

rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

aNet amount represents the receivable/(payable) that would be due from/(to) the counterparty in an event of default.

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities held by the Fund. Illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions. Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP BlackRock Emerging Markets Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP BlackRock Emerging Markets Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to invest primarily in securities included in a broad-based emerging markets index and to seek to approximate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of that index while seeking to control the level of portfolio volatility.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security or ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities or ETFs listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addtion, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

    Post-Enactment Losses (No Expiration)
  Short-Term      Long-Term      Total
  $11,383,956      $24,289,791      $35,673,747

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may

also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, the majority of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the year. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Schedule of Investments.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

In March 2016, the Board approved a proposal, subject to shareholder approval, to merge the Fund with and into LVIP SSGA International Managed Volatility Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). The merger is not expected to be a taxable event for contract holders. More information about the Acquiring Fund and the definitive terms of the merger will be included in the proxy materials that will be mailed to contract holders.

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements, except as disclosed above.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Approval of Investment Management Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions. Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests substantially all its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Managed Risk Fund–7


LVIP BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Managed Risk Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Managed Risk Fund (formerly LVIP BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act . The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all its assets in other open-end investment companies, primarily the BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund (collectively, “the Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). The BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund, which is advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invests primarily in a portfolio of equity, debt and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax return through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2013-December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-advisor, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. Effective May 1, 2016, the waiver amount is 0.67% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, the waiver amount was 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Effective May 1, 2016, Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s managed risk strategy. Prior to May 1, 2016 , LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolios. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

     $ 27,234  

Legal

       7,010  

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounts to $14,742 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $28,998 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or other, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 fee is 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

     $ 65,390  

Distribution fees payable to LFD

       286,007  

Printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

       576  

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Fund held 5% or more of the investment companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds or ETFs). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Fund and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

Purchases

     $ 56,012,139  

Sales

       38,181,662  

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

     $ 1,109,520,880  
    

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

     $  

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

       (116,510,575 )
    

 

 

 

Net unrealized depreciation

     $ (116,510,575 )
    

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quotedprices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observablefor the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and defaultrates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchangecontracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1

Investment Companies

     $ 993,010,305  
    

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

     $ (1,176,454 )
    

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Milliman prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and Milliman provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of Milliman, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information and LIAC and Milliman provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC, and Milliman to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and Milliman with respect to the Fund, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Milliman under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending Milliman be appointed a sub-adviser for the risk management strategy of the Fund, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the futures based managed risk overlay services provided by Milliman as a consultant to LIAC. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Milliman, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, Milliman’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the risk management strategy for other funds in the Trust and the reputation, resources and investment approach of Milliman. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that Milliman has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to other funds in the Trust with a futures based managed risk strategy and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the Board’s annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted Milliman’s view that the sub-advisory fees proposed by Milliman were competitive compared to other registered fund and institutional clients that employ the same futures based managed risk strategy as proposed for the Fund. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by Milliman as to any additional benefits it would receive and noted Milliman’s statement that the Sub-Advisory Agreement may strengthen Milliman’s name recognition as well as create non-pecuniary benefits from synergies related to conducting risk management programs for clients in large volume.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period May 2, 2016* to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 2, 2016* to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee reimbursements in effect.

*

The Fund commenced operations on May 2, 2016. The ending account value for “Actual” uses the performance since inception and is not annualized and the expenses paid during period for “Actual” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 60/366 (to reflect the actual since inception).

 

**

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in iShares Exchange-Traded Funds (“Underlying ETFs”) or financial instruments that provide exposure to such Underlying ETFs (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP BlackRock Global Growth ETF Allocation Managed Risk Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all of its assets in iShares Exchange-Traded Funds (“Underlying ETFs”) or financial instruments that provide exposure to such Underlying ETFs (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. A significant portion of the Underlying Funds employ a passive investment style (i.e. index funds). In addition to company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at http://www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a balance between current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on growth of capital.

Security Valuation–ETFs, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the valuation date. ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax return through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period May 2, 2016* through June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the period May 2, 2016* through June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.37% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.72% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees and LIAC.

BlackRock Investment Management LLC (“BlackRock”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment porfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays BlackRock a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s managed risk strategy. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays Miiliman a fee based on the Fund’s average net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the period May 2, 2016* through June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

     $ 110  

Legal

       28  

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $30 for the period May 2, 2016* through June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate, not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

       Level 1  

Investment Companies

     $ 23,710,183  
    

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

     $ (118,961 )
    

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the end of the period.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements

 

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things, (i) the approval of the investment management agreement between the Trust and Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) and (ii) the approval of the sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Investment Management LLC (“BlackRock”) and Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) (collectively, with the investment management agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), BlackRock and Milliman prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment management and sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life, BlackRock and Milliman provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of BlackRock and Milliman, information comparing the management fees and estimated operating expense ratio of the Fund to peer groups, information about estimated profitability and/or financial condition and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that LIAC and BlackRock provided services to other funds in the Trust and that Milliman provided consulting services to LIAC with respect to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information and LIAC, BlackRock and Milliman provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Advisory Agreements, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and Lincoln Life and LIAC employees, BlackRock and Milliman to consider the approval of the Advisory Agreements.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Advisory Agreements be approved. In considering the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Investment Management Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the investment management agreement with LIAC, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Fund by LIAC, including LIAC personnel and resources and LIAC’s criteria for review of a sub-adviser’s performance. The Board considered that LIAC provided investment management services to the other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by LIAC in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board reviewed the services provided by LIAC in serving as investment adviser, including the backgrounds of the personnel providing the investment management services and compliance staff. The Board also considered that certain Lincoln Life personnel provide services to the other funds in the Trust on behalf of LIAC and that Lincoln Life was proposed to provide administrative services to the Fund under a separate administration agreement. The Board concluded that the services provided by LIAC were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that the Fund had not commenced operations.

Management Fee. The Board reviewed the Fund’s investment management fee and estimated expense ratio and reviewed information comparing the investment management fee and expense ratio to those of a peer group for the Fund provided by LIAC based on information from Morningstar.

The Board noted that the investment management fees for the Fund were above the median investment management fee of its respective peer group. The Board considered that the Fund’s estimated operating expense ratio for standard class shares giving effect to the proposed expense limitation and acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”) was lower than the median expense ratio of its respective peer group. In light of the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by LIAC including overseeing the risk overlay to be sub-advised by Milliman, the Board concluded that the Fund’s investment management fee was reasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect a reasonable sharing of such economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Board considered that the Fund had not commenced operations and that LIAC proposed an expense limitation for the Fund’s standard and service class shares through April 30, 2017 and concluded that economies of scale were appropriately shared with investors.

Profitability. The Board also reviewed the estimated profitability analysis to LIAC with respect to the Fund and concluded that the estimated profitability of LIAC in connection with the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

Fallout Benefits. Because of its relationship with the Fund, LIAC and its affiliates may receive certain benefits. The Board considered materials previously provided as to any such benefits to LIAC and its affiliates. Lincoln Life and its affiliated insurance companies (“Lincoln Insurance Companies”) receive 12b-1 fees which are paid by the Fund through Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc., which is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Fund. Lincoln Life serves as the administrator for the Fund for which it is separately reimbursed. The Board also noted that

Investment Management Agreement (continued)

 

Lincoln Insurance Companies may be eligible to claim on their tax returns dividends received deductions in connection with dividends received from LVIP Funds by the Lincoln Insurance Companies holding Fund shares on behalf of contract holders.

BlackRock Sub-Advisory Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the sub-advisory agreement between LIAC and BlackRock with respect to the Fund, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of day-to-day investment management services to be provided by BlackRock under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board considered that BlackRock provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had considered those services in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by BlackRock, BlackRock’s experience with exchange traded funds and the reputation, resources and investment approach of BlackRock. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, soft dollar usage, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by BlackRock were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that the Fund had not commenced operations.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and considered BlackRock’s statement that there were no comparable BlackRock advised, sub-advised or institutional separate funds. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and BlackRock, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate BlackRock from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and BlackRock, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate BlackRock from its fees. The Board reviewed materials previously provided by BlackRock as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that BlackRock stated that the engagement raises its profile in the broker-dealer community and may facilitate the raising of assets for other investment products or services provided by BlackRock. BlackRock also noted that there are certain potential scale related benefits to the engagement by including the Fund in its managed assets.

Milliman Sub-Advisory Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the sub-advisory agreement between LIAC and Milliman with respect to the Fund, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Milliman under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending Milliman be appointed a sub-adviser for the risk management strategy of the Fund, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the futures based managed risk overlay services provided by Milliman as a consultant to LIAC for other funds in the Trust. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Milliman, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, Milliman’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for other funds of the Trust and the reputation, resources and investment approach of Milliman. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that the Fund had not commenced operations.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted Milliman’s view that the sub-advisory fees proposed by Milliman were competitive compared to other registered fund and institutional clients that employ the same futures based managed risk strategy as proposed for the Fund. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by Milliman as to any additional benefits it would receive and noted Milliman’s statement that the sub-advisory agreement may strengthen Milliman’s name recognition as well as create non-pecuniary benefits from synergies related to conducting risk management programs for clients in large volume.

Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund are fair and reasonable, and that approval of the Advisory Agreements is in the best interests of the Fund.

LVIP BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund–10


LVIP BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to maximize real return, consistent with preservation of real capital and prudent investment management.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities and credit default swaps (“CDS”) contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Index swap contracts and other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally separates the portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. Gains or losses attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, these changes are included

in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisers Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.45% of the first $500 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund and 0.40% of average daily net assets in excess of $500 million.

BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

     $ 34,656  

Legal

       9,538  

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $58,442 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

     $ 458,734  

Distribution fees payable to LFD

       163,829  

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

       3,682  

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases other than U.S. government securities

   $ 325,106,234   

Purchases of U.S. government securities

     341,939,943   

Sales other than U.S. government securities

Sales of U.S. government securities

     321,003,693   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated because final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 1,453,323,324   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 49,057,671   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (13,518,401
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 35,539,270   
  

 

 

 

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

Post-Enactment Losses (No Expiration)  
Short-Term      Long-Term      Total  
$ 60,074,625       $ 49,979,341       $ 110,053,966   

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments)(e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Swap Contracts–The Fund may enter into index swap contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the Fund invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Fund may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not directly available to the Fund on favorable terms.

Index Swaps. Index swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or termination of the swap contract. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the index swap

contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Swaps Generally–The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Statement of Net Assets.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund posted U.S. Treasury Obligations with a value of $2,148,103 as collateral for derivatives.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund primarily invests in inflation protected debt securities whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike traditional debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in inflation protected debt securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, foreign governments and corporations, which may include synthetic investments such as options, forwards, futures contracts, or swap agreements that, when combined with non-inflation indexed bonds, have economic characteristics similar to inflation-indexed bonds.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose values are derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and defaults, and may be adversely affected by changes

in interest rates and shifts in the market’s perception of issuers. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on CMO’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, no securities have been determined to be illiquid. Rule 144A securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in iShares Exchange-Traded Funds (“UnderlyingETFs”) or financial instruments that provide exposure to such Underlying ETFs (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP BlackRock Multi-Asset Income Fund–7


LVIP BlackRock Multi-Asset Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP BlackRock Multi-Asset Income Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to maximize current income; capital appreciation is a secondary objective.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from investment companies are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security,

the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.68% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.42% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses exceed 0.36% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.61% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

BlackRock Investment Management, LLC. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 205   

Legal

     57   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $696 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from or liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 6,095   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     2,181   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     1,924   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     50   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, Lincoln Life directly owned 58.31% of the Standard Class shares and 46.57% of Service Class shares of the Fund.

3. Investments (continued)

 

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 10,431,137   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 245,794

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

Post-Enactment Losses (No Expiration)

Short-Term

 

Long-Term

 

Total

$18,560

  $34,191   $52,751

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Investment Companies

   $ 10,542,153   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ (34,614
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund held the following assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period May 2, 2016* to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 2, 2016* to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee reimbursements in effect.

The Fund commenced operations on May 2, 2016. The ending account value for “Actual” uses the performance since inception and is not annualized and the expenses paid during period for “Actual” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 60/366 (to reflect the actual since inception).

 

**

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in iShares Exchange-Traded Funds (“Underlying ETFs”) or financial instruments that provide exposure to such Underlying ETFs (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP BlackRock U.S. Growth ETF Allocation Managed Risk Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP BlackRock U.S. Growth ETF Allocation Managed Risk Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all of its assets in iShares Exchange-Traded Funds (“Underlying ETFs”) or financial instruments that provide exposure to such Underlying ETFs (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. stocks, bonds and money market instruments. A significant portion of the Underlying Funds employ a passive investment style (i.e. index funds). In addition to company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at http://www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a balance between current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–ETFs, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the valuation date. ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax return through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period May 2, 2016* through June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain / loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

LVIP BlackRock U.S. Growth ETF Allocation Managed Risk Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the period May 2, 2016* through June 30, 2016.

 

* Date of commencement of operations.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC’) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds.

LIAC had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceeded 0.37% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.72% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustee and LIAC.

BlackRock Investment Management LLC (“BlackRock”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays BlackRock a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s managed risk strategy. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays Milliman a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the period May 2, 2016* through June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 37   

Legal

     9   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $20 for the period May 2, 2016* through June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 7,500   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     1,277   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     1,758

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1

Investment Companies

     $ 11,754,883  
    

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

     $ (38,452 )
    

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the end of the period.

During the period May 2, 2016* through June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

Approval of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things, (i) the approval of the investment management agreement between the Trust and Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) and (ii) the approval of the sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Investment Management LLC (“BlackRock”) and Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) (collectively, with the investment management agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), BlackRock and Milliman prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment management and sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life, BlackRock and Milliman provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of BlackRock and Milliman, information comparing the management fees and estimated operating expense ratio of the Fund to peer groups, information about estimated profitability and/or financial condition and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that LIAC and BlackRock provided services to other funds in the Trust and that Milliman provided consulting services to LIAC with respect to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information and LIAC, BlackRock and Milliman provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Advisory Agreements, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and Lincoln Life and LIAC employees, BlackRock and Milliman to consider the approval of the Advisory Agreements.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Advisory Agreements be approved. In considering the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Investment Management Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the investment management agreement with LIAC, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Fund by LIAC, including LIAC personnel and resources and LIAC’s criteria for review of a sub-adviser’s performance. The Board considered that LIAC provided investment management services to the other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by LIAC in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board reviewed the services provided by LIAC in serving as investment adviser, including the backgrounds of the personnel providing the investment management services and compliance staff. The Board also considered that certain Lincoln Life personnel provide services to the other funds in the Trust on behalf of LIAC and that Lincoln Life was proposed to provide administrative services to the Fund under a separate administration agreement. The Board concluded that the services provided by LIAC were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that the Fund had not commenced operations.

Management Fee. The Board reviewed the Fund’s investment management fee and estimated expense ratio and reviewed information comparing the investment management fee and expense ratio to those of a peer group for the Fund provided by LIAC based on information from Morningstar.

The Board noted that the investment management fees for the Fund were above the median investment management fee of its respective peer group. The Board considered that the Fund’s estimated operating expense ratio for standard class shares giving effect to the proposed expense limitation and acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”) was lower than the median expense ratio of its respective peer group. In light of the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by LIAC including overseeing the risk overlay to be sub-advised by Milliman, the Board concluded that the Fund’s investment management fee was reasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect a reasonable sharing of such economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Board considered that the Fund had not commenced operations and that LIAC proposed an expense limitation for the Fund’s standard and service class shares through April 30, 2017 and concluded that economies of scale were appropriately shared with investors.

Profitability. The Board also reviewed the estimated profitability analysis to LIAC with respect to the Fund and concluded that the estimated profitability of LIAC in connection with the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

Fallout Benefits. Because of its relationship with the Fund, LIAC and its affiliates may receive certain benefits. The Board considered materials previously provided as to any such benefits to LIAC and its affiliates. Lincoln Life and its affiliated insurance companies (“Lincoln Insurance Companies”) receive 12b-1 fees which are paid by the Fund through Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc., which is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Fund. Lincoln Life serves as the administrator for the Fund for which it is separately reimbursed. The Board also noted that

Investment Management Agreement (continued)

Lincoln Insurance Companies may be eligible to claim on their tax returns dividends received deductions in connection with dividends received from LVIP Funds by the Lincoln Insurance Companies holding Fund shares on behalf of contract holders.

BlackRock Sub-Advisory Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the sub-advisory agreement between LIAC and BlackRock with respect to the Fund, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of day-to-day investment management services to be provided by BlackRock under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board considered that BlackRock provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had considered those services in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by BlackRock, BlackRock’s experience with exchange traded funds and the reputation, resources and investment approach of BlackRock. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, soft dollar usage, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by BlackRock were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that the Fund had not commenced operations.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and considered BlackRock’s statement that there were no comparable BlackRock advised, sub-advised or institutional separate funds. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and BlackRock, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate BlackRock from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and BlackRock, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate BlackRock from its fees. The Board reviewed materials previously provided by BlackRock as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that BlackRock stated that the engagement raises its profile in the broker-dealer community and may facilitate the raising of assets for other investment products or services provided by BlackRock. BlackRock also noted that there are certain potential scale related benefits to the engagement by including the Fund in its managed assets.

Milliman Sub-Advisory Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the sub-advisory agreement between LIAC and Milliman with respect to the Fund, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Milliman under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending Milliman be appointed a sub-adviser for the risk management strategy of the Fund, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the futures based managed risk overlay services provided by Milliman as a consultant to LIAC for other funds in the Trust. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Milliman, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, Milliman’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for other funds of the Trust and the reputation, resources and investment approach of Milliman. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that the Fund had not commenced operations.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted Milliman’s view that the sub-advisory fees proposed by Milliman were competitive compared to other registered fund and institutional clients that employ the same futures based managed risk strategy as proposed for the Fund. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by Milliman as to any additional benefits it would receive and noted Milliman’s statement that the sub-advisory agreement may strengthen Milliman’s name recognition as well as create non-pecuniary benefits from synergies related to conducting risk management programs for clients in large volume.

Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund are fair and reasonable, and that approval of the Advisory Agreements is in the best interests of the Fund.

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expense shown in the table reflect fee reimbursements in effect.

LVIP BlackRock U.S. Opportunities Managed Volatility Fund–9


LVIP BlackRock U.S. Opportunities Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP BlackRock U.S. Opportunities Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sale price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security or ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximate fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions to be taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the open tax year ended December 31, 2015 and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series within the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e. the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-advisers, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of average daily net assets of the Fund. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $500 million. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding merger costs*) exceed 0.85% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 1.10% for the Service Class. The agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and the LIAC.

BlackRock Investment Management LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management Inc., (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s volatility management overlay. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Advisers a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 963   

Legal

     264   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $711 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $6,108 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

     $25,500,296   

Sales

     18,527,848   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 40,231,202   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 3,318,269   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (1,541,070
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 1,777,199   
  

 

 

 

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized, due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level

 

1–inputsare quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level

 

2–other   observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level

 

3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contracts value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counter party certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

In March 2016, the Board approved a proposal, subject to shareholder approval, to merge the Fund with and into LVIP Blended Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). The merger is not expected to be a taxable event for contract holders. More information about the Acquiring Fund and the definitive terms of the merger will be included in the proxy materials that will be mailed to contract holders.

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP Blended Core Equity Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP Blended Core Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Blended Core Equity Managed Volatility Fund (formerly LVIP ClearBridge Variable Appreciation Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in other open-end investment companies, which, in turn, invest at least 80% of their assets in equity securities. The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser(s),

 

LVIP Blended Core Equity Managed Volatility Fund–8


LVIP Blended Core Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.64% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.64% of the average daily net asset of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.00% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.35% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser(s) a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, fees for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 3,919   

Legal

     1,009   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimbursed Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $3,559 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $10,987 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from or liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 11,111   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     48,214   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     356   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, Lincoln Life owned 12.53% of the Standard Class shares of the Fund.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

 

    Asset Derivatives   Liability Derivatives

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

 

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions. Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP Blended Large Cap Growth Managed Volatility Fund–9


LVIP Blended Large Cap Growth Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Blended Large Cap Growth Managed Volatility Fund (formerly, LVIP UBS Large Cap Growth Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital in a manner consistent with the preservation of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security or ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities or ETFs listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

LVIP Blended Large Cap Growth Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

    

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) from investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $21,440 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized, due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

Pre-Enactment
Short-Term
Capital Losses Expiring

 

Post-Enactment
Losses (No Expiration)*

Short-Term

*Capital Loss Carryovers with no expiration must be utilized first.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable

for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short

 

LVIP Blended Large Cap Growth Managed Volatility Fund–13


LVIP Blended Large Cap Growth Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions. Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled, “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses cannot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP Blended Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund–12


LVIP Blended Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Blended Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund (formerly LVIP Ivy Mid Cap Growth Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available, are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expenses and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all withholding taxes not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of the distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund invests in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) which make distributions that are primarily attributable to return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital in the Statement of Operations using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in the distributions received from each MLP based on historical information from the MLPs and other industry sources. These estimates may be adjusted based on information received from the MLPs after the tax and fiscal year ends.

The return of capital portion of the MLP distributions is a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed its cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income and return of capital are only determined by each MLP after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amounts. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund estimated that 100% of the MLP distributions received would be treated as a return of capital.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $70,343 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the

asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts or foreign cross currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Options Contracts–During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; to protect the value of portfolio securities; to increase yield during low interest rate environment; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities, futures, swaps, swaptions, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options purchased. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid at the close of the transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change. When buying options, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk.

Average Volume of Derivatives–The table below summarizes the average balance of derivative holdings by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average balance of derivatives held is generally similar to the volume of derivative activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016:

 

     Asset Derivative Volume      Liability Derivative Volume  

Futures contracts (average notional value)

     $3,502,292         $62,093,808

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund held no assets or liabilities that are subject to the offsetting provisions.

6. Market Risk

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in small- and mid-sized companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small- or mid-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements as disclosed above.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP Clarion Global Real Estate Fund–8


LVIP Clarion Global Real Estate Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Clarion Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return through a combination of current income and long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of the such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) from investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $20,227 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.73% of the first $250 million of the average net assets of the Fund; and 0.63% of the average net assets of the Fund in excess of $250 million.

CBRE Clarion Securities LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 10,490   

Legal

     2,887   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $15,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 230,765   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     23,448   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     3,291   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

   $ 80,709,065   

Sales

     102,837,919   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 304,151,463   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 117,228,934

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized, due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The value of Level 3 investments was zero at the end of the period.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund concentrates its investments in the real estate industry and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund is also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations. Its investments may also tend to fluctuate more in value than a portfolio that invests in a broader range of industries.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity

6. Market Risk (continued)

 

of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP ClearBridge Large Cap Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP ClearBridge Large Cap Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP ClearBridge Large Cap Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in open-end investment companies that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or other unaffiliated managers, primarily ClearBridge Funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax return through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (year ended December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain / loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities

are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.69% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.66% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, the waiver was 0.69% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.10% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.45% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 1,795   

Legal

     462   
 

 

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $1,620 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $6,033 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 3,712   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     1,938   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     22,369   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     2,268,035   
 

 

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 81,205,457   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 1,517,803   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Investment Companies

   $ 79,078,020   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ (527,183
  

 

 

 
 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enables shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP Delaware Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Delaware Bond Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income yield consistent with a prudent investment strategy.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities, credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

To Be Announced Trades–The Fund may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (e.g., when issued, delayed delivery, forward commitment, or TBA transactions) consistent with the Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may change prior to delivery.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund

generally separates the portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. Gains or losses attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.48% of the first $200 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.40% of the next $200 million; and 0.30% of average daily net assets in excess of $400 million.

Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (“DIFA”)(the “Sub-Adviser”), a series of the Delaware Management Business Trust, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 198,264   

Legal

     54,558   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $194,154 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

   $ 197,112,515   
  

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain

 

LVIP Delaware Bond Fund–28

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Options Contracts–During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; to protect the value of portfolio securities; to increase yield during low interest rate environment; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities, futures, swaps, swaptions, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid at the close of the transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change. When buying options, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk. The Fund did not enter into any written option transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Swap Contracts–The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return, or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Interest Rate Swaps–An interest rate swap contract is an exchange of interest rates between counterparties. An interest rate swap generally involves one party making payments based on a fixed interest rate in return for payments from a counterparty based on a variable or floating interest rate. The Fund may enter into either side of such a swap contract. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the interest rate swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty for trades. No interest rate swap contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Credit Default Swaps–A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (a purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (a seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular referenced security or basket of securities, such as an index. In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection

agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the counterparty the agreed-upon value for the reference security or basket of securities. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a seller of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement. Initial margin and variation margin are posted to counterparties for centrally cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by the applicable central counterparty.

As disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments, at June 30, 2016, the notional value of the protection sold was $19,490,000, which reflects the maximum potential amount the Fund would have been required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event had occurred. In addition to serving as the source of the current value of the securities, the quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative if the swap agreement has been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. At June 30, 2016, net unrealized appreciation of the protection sold was $234,041.

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Swaps Generally–The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Schedule of Investments.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund held the following assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose values are derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and defaults, and may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates and shifts in the market’s perception of issuers. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on a CMO’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The Fund may also invest in securities exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act, which exempts from registration transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investment in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Schedule of Investments.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled, “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP Delaware Diversified Floating Rate Fund–15


LVIP Delaware Diversified Floating Rate Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Delaware Diversified Floating Rate Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with (U.S. GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sale price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities, credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instrument. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally separates the portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. Gains or losses attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebate. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of the distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.60% of the first $500 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund and 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $500 million. Effective October 1, 2015, LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee as follows: 0.03% on the first $2 billion of average daily net assets of the Fund and 0.05% in excess of $2 billion of average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without mutual agreement of the Board or LIAC. Prior to October 1, 2015, there was no waiver in effect.

Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (the “Sub-Adviser”), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 21,144   

Legal

     5,821   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $36,995 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

     152,250   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     4,432   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases other than U.S. government securities

   $ 211,050,757   

Purchases of U.S. government securities

     126,826,668   

Sales other than U.S. government securities

     223,791,329   

Sales of U.S. government securities

     126,250,095   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 805,837,607   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 5,726,896   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (3,200,531
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ 2,526,365   
  

 

 

 

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss. At December 31, 2015, there were no capital loss carryforwards incurred that will be carried forward under the Act.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Swap Contracts–The Fund enters into interest rate swap contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Interest Rate Swaps–An interest rate swap contract is an exchange of interest rates between counterparties. An interest rate swap generally involves one party making payments based on a fixed interest rate in return for payments from a counterparty based on a variable or floating interest rate. The Fund may enter into either side of such a swap contract. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the interest rate swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty for trades.

Credit Default Swaps–A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (a purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (a seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular referenced security or basket of securities, (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the counterparty the agreed-upon value for the reference security (or basket of securities). Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on CDS contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of a CDS contract. Initial margin and variation margin is posted to a central counterparty for centrally cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by an applicable central counterparty.

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Swaps Generally–The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Statement of Net Assets.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

6. Credit and Market Risk

The Fund invests in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose values are derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and defaults, and may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates and shifts in the market’s perception of issuers. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on a CMO’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

LVIP Delaware Foundation® Aggressive Allocation Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Delaware Foundation® Aggressive Allocation Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation–Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security or ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities and credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts, and interest rate swap contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

To Be Announced Trades (TBA)–The Fund may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period, (e.g., when issued, delayed delivery, forward commitment, or TBA transactions) consistent with the Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement

period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may change prior to delivery.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally separates the portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. Gains or losses attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e. the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset-and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) from investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $532 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-advisers, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses exceed 0.73% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.98% for the Service Class. The agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)

 

Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (“DIFA”), a series of the Delaware Management Business Trust, and its affiliate, and Jackson Square Partners, LLC (“JSP”), are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays DIFA and JSP a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 5,244   

Legal

     1,443   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $26,568 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 13,561   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     106,535   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     5,455   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     5,502   

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $91,033 and securities sales of $170,173.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

As a result of utilizing fair value pricing at December 31, 2015, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Options Contracts–During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; to protect the value of portfolio securities; to increase yield during low interest rate environment; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities, futures, swaps, swaptions, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid at the close of the transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change. When buying options, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk.

Transactions in options written for the six months ended June 30, 2016 for the Fund were as follows:

Swap Contracts–The Fund enters into CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Credit Default Swaps–A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (a purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (a seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the counterparty the agreed-upon value for the reference security or basket of securities. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay and obligation default.

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser and seller of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on CDS contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of a CDS contract. Initial margin and variation margin is posted to a central counterparty for centrally cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by an applicable central counterparty.

As disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments, at June 30, 2016, the notional value of the protection sold was $680,000, which reflects the maximum potential amount the Fund would have been required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event had occurred. In addition to serving as the source of the current value of the securities, the quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative if the swap agreement has been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. At June 30, 2016, the net unrealized appreciation of the protection sold was $8,166.

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Swaps Generally–The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Schedule of Investments.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose values are derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and defaults, and may be adversely effected by changes in interest rates and shifts in the market’s perception of issuers. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material

adverse effect on a CMO’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Schedule of Investments.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled, “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

LVIP Delaware Foundation® Conservative Allocation Fund–38


LVIP Delaware Foundation® Conservative Allocation Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Delaware Foundation® Conservative Allocation Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a combination of current income and preservation of capital with capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security or ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities and credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sales price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

To Be Announced Trades–The Fund may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (e.g., when issued, delayed delivery, forward commitment, or TBA transactions) consistent with the Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period

for that type of security. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may change prior to delivery.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally separates the portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. Gains or losses attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of the distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Such commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) from investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $408 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board and LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses exceed 0.73% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Standard Class (and 0.98% for the Service Class). This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (“DIFA”), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, and Jackson Square Partners, LLP (“JSP”), are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays DIFA and JSP a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 7,471   

Legal

     2,057   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $43,910 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 12,452   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     150,981   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     8,903   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     6,573   

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $3,277 and securities sales of $179,151.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases other than U.S. government securities

   $ 226,132,715   

Purchases of U.S. government securities

     57,788,860   

Sales other than U.S. government securities

     214,234,056   

Sales of U.S. government securities

     75,382,104   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 273,684,704   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 39,023,943   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (8,980,001
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 30,043,942   
  

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the

asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits

U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees against default.

Options Contracts–During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities, futures, swaps, swaptions, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid at the close of the transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change.

Swap Contracts–The Fund enters into interest rate contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or hedge against changes in interest rates. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return, or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Credit Default Swaps-A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (a purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (a seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities, such as an index. In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the counterparty the agreed-upon value for the reference security or basket of securities. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay and obligation default.

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser and seller of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on CDS contracts are accrued daily and recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of a CDS contract. Initial margin and variation margin is posted to a central counterparty for centrally cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by the applicable central counterparty.

As disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments, at June 30, 2016, the notional value of the protection sold was $455,000, which reflects the maximum potential amount the Fund would have been required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event had occurred. In addition to serving as the source of the current value of the securities, the quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative if the swap agreement has been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. At June 30, 2016, the net unrealized appreciation of the protection sold was $5,464.

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and for centrally cleared swaps, by trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Swaps Generally-The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Schedule of Investments.

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Schedule of Investments.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund has the following assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose values are derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and defaults, and may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates and shifts in the market’s perception of issuers. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been

paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on a CMO’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund invests in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the Schedule of Investments.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners, are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses cannot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation with current income as a secondary objective.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation–Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security or ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities, credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts, and interest rate swap contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

To Be Announced Trades (TBA)–The Fund may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (e.g., when issued, delayed delivery, forward commitment, or TBA transactions) consistent with the Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement

period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may change prior to delivery.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally separates the portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. Gains or losses attributable to the changes in foreign exchange rates is included in the Statement of Operations under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, both types of changes in gain (loss) are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset-and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) from investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $148 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-advisers, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses exceed 0.73% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.98% for the Service Class. The agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of Board and LIAC.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)

 

Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (“DIFA”) (the “Sub-Adviser”), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, and its affiliate, Jackson Square Partners, LLC (“JSP”), are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays DIFA and JSP a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 2,606   

Legal

     717   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $8,344 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to a distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation, or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement from LIAC

   $ 14,761   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     52,334   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     2,085   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     5,495   

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $58,459 and securities sales of $101,009.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases other than U.S. government securities

   $ 60,704,292   

Purchases of U.S. government securities

     28,557,241   

Sales other than U.S. government securities

     59,157,023   

Sales of U.S. government securities

     33,761,676   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 89,899,718   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 17,443,524   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (4,007,224
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 13,436,300   
  

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions

 

LVIP Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund–37

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

3. Investments (continued)

 

market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Options Contracts–During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; to protect the value of portfolio securities; to increase yield during low interest rate environment; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities, futures, swaps, swaptions, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid at the close of the transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change. When buying options, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk.

Transactions in options written during the six months ended June 30, 2016 for the Fund were as follows:

Swap Contracts–The Fund enters into CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return, or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Credit Default Swaps–A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (a purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (a seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the counterparty the agreed-upon value for the reference security or basket of securities. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay and obligation default.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser and seller of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of a CDS contract. Initial margin and variation margin is posted to central counterparties for centrally cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by an applicable central counterparty.

As disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments, at June 30, 2016, the notional value of the protection sold was $570,000, which reflects the maximum potential amount the Fund would have been required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event had occurred. In addition to serving as the source of the current value of the securities, the quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative if the swap agreement has been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. At June 30, 2016, the net unrealized appreciation of the protection sold was $6,845.

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Swaps Generally–The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its positions in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Schedule of Investments.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard and Poor’s Financial Services LLC and/or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose values are derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and defaults, and may be adversely effected by changes in interest rates and shifts in market’s perception of issuers. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive, not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of

LVIP Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

6. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

 

principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the a CMO’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities, even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Schedule of Investments.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 1 Fund–26


LVIP Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 1 Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 1 Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Short-term debt securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are

amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of the distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.48% of the first $200 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.40% of the next $200 million; and 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $400 million.

Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 30,480   

Legal

     8,387   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $77,089 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 336,124   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     23,687   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

     94   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 165,320,194   
  

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

5. Market Risk

The Fund invests in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP Delaware Social Awareness Fund–8


LVIP Delaware Social Awareness Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Delaware Social Awareness Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize long-term capital appreciation (as measured by the change in the value of Fund shares over a period of three years or longer).

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Short-term debt securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions

by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.48% of the first $200 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.40% of the next $200 million; and 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $400 million.

Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (the “Sub-Adviser”), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 17,927   

Legal

     4,934   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $29,454 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 214,748   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     23,903   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     1,095   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 489,734,893   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 226,750,334

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Common Stock

   $ 670,458,371   

Money Market Fund

     22,879,247   
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 693,337,618   
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Market Risk

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund only invests in companies that meet its definition of “socially responsible” and may be subject to certain risks as a result of investing exclusively in socially responsible companies. By avoiding certain companies not considered socially responsible, it could miss out on strong performance from those companies.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

        OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP Delaware Special Opportunities Fund–8


LVIP Delaware Special Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Delaware Special Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize long-term capital appreciation (as measured by the change in the value of Fund shares over a period of three years or longer).

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Short-term debt securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.48% of the first $200 million of average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.40% of the next $200 million; and 0.30% of average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $400 million.

Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (the “Sub-Adviser”), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

     $ 14,852  

Legal

       4,085  

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $28,457 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

     $ 192,327  

Distribution fees payable to LFD

       26,076

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

     $ 41,331,013  

Sales

       62,283,425  

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purpose has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

     $ 405,010,201  
    

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

     $ 228,332,541  

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

       (40,438,867 )
    

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

     $ 187,893,674  
    

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts –The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

The effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was as follows:

   Net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency exchange contracts and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of foreign currency exchange contracts      $ 615        $  

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities held by the Fund. Illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP Dimensional International Equity Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP Dimensional International Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Dimensional International Equity Managed Volatility Fund (formerly, LVIP Dimensional International Core Equity Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in open-end investment companies that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or other unaffiliated managers (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employ an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012-December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or

sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gains distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC).

LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. Effective May 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to waive 0.04% of average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive 0.20% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

     $ 7,255  

Legal

       1,868  

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $6,774 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $15,269 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fee and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds and has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

     $ 46,291  

Distribution fees payable to LFD

       51,787  

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

       1,553  

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1

Investment Companies

     $ 250,467,987  
    

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

     $ (1,337,268 )
    

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

 

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

LVIP Dimensional U.S. Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

*

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP Dimensional U.S. Equity Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP Dimensional U.S. Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Dimensional U.S. Equity Managed Volatility Fund (formerly, LVIP Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 2 Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in open-end investment companies that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or other unaffiliated managers (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employ an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012-December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gains distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC).

LIAC had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. For the period May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive 0.20% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 12,680   

Legal

     3,264   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $11,802 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $20,511 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fee and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 98,698   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     94,248   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

     3,082   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Fund held 5% or more of the investment companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Fund and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

     171,642,348   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 465,304,909   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 20,222,434   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (4,329,874
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 15,892,560   
  

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Investment Companies

   $ 481,197,469   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ (3,682,373
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

        OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of a Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis tables. The Expense Analysis tables do not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. These Expense Analyses are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analyses are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the tables, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the tables, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the tables, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Funds’ actual expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect.

*

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to a Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. Each Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Funds’ expenses reflected above, the Funds also indirectly bear their portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in each table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)     

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Dimensional/Vanguard Total Bond Fund, LVIP Vanguard Domestic Equity ETF Fund and LVIP Vanguard International Equity ETF Fund (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are non-diversified management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act. The Funds sell their shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The LVIP Dimensional/Vanguard Total Bond Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in Underlying Funds and Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) which, in turn, invest in U.S. and foreign fixed-income securities. The Underlying Funds and ETFs will primarily be a combination of Dimensional Investment Group Inc. mutual funds and Vanguard ETF® funds. In addition to mutual fund and ETF investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments.

The LVIP Vanguard Domestic Equity ETF Fund and the LVIP Vanguard International Equity ETF Fund operate under a fund of funds structure and invest a significant portion of their assets in ETFs which, in turn, invest in U.S. and foreign stocks and money market instruments. The underlying ETFs will primarily be Vanguard ETFs®. In addition to ETF investments, the Funds may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments.

Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The investment objective of the LVIP Dimensional/Vanguard Total Bond Fund is to seek total return consistent with the preservation of capital. Total return is comprised of income and capital appreciation.

The investment objective of the LVIP Vanguard Domestic Equity ETF Fund and LVIP Vanguard International Equity ETF Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation–ETFs, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the valuation date. ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. The Funds value Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken on the Funds’ federal income tax returns for all open tax years (December 31, 2012-December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Funds on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gains distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Funds’ investment portfolios and providing certain administrative services to the Funds. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC).

LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.05% of average daily net assets of LVIP Dimensional/Vanguard Total Bond Fund, LVIP Vanguard Domestic ETF Fund, and LVIP Vanguard International Equity ETF Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds. For these services, the Funds reimburse Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statements of Operations.

The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

In addition to the management fee and other expenses reflected on the Statements of Operations, the Funds indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs in which they invest. Because each of the Underlying Funds and ETFs has varied expense and fee levels, and the Funds may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds and ETFs at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Funds had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

     LVIP
Dimensional/
Vanguard
Total Bond Fund
   LVIP
Vanguard
Domestic
Equity ETF Fund
   LVIP
Vanguard
International
Equity ETF Fund

Management fees payable to LIAC

       $  89,584           $38,815          $23,454

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

       18          3,042          3,079  

Certain officers and trustees of the Funds are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Funds. The Funds pay compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby a Fund held 5% or more of the investment companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds or ETFs). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Funds and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Funds had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

LVIP Dimensional International Core Equity Fund

Disclosure

        OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts (variable accounts) that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

LVIP Dimensional International Core Equity Fund–37


LVIP Dimensional International Core Equity Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Dimensional International Core Equity Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax return through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the open tax year ended December 31, 2015, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not seperate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.17% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and the LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the annual operating expenses exceed 0.68% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.93% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and the LIAC.

Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 4,529   

Legal

     1,255   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $439 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation, or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 34,929   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     66,034   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     1,763   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     11   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

Post-Enactment Losses (No Expiration)
Short-Term   Long-Term   Total
$217,183   $—   $217,183

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, the majority of the Fund’s common stock was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity and minimizing costs. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default. No futures contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund held no assets or liabilities that are subject to the offsetting provisions.

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 2 Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 2 Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the open tax year ended December 31, 2015. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities

are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.72% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.29% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and the LIAC.

Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses exceeded 0.53% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.78% for the Service Class.

Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the sub-adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 8,396   

Legal

     2,321   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $212 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 99,538   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     1,298   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     18   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default. No futures contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

The effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operation for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was as follows:

6. Market Risk

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

        OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transactional fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP Franklin Templeton Global Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust, The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Franklin Templeton Global Equity Managed Volatility Fund (formerly LVIP Templeton Growth Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital growth, which it seeks to achieve through a flexible policy of investing primarily in stocks of companies organized in the United States or in any foreign nation. A portion of the Fund may also be invested in debt obligations of companies and governments of any nation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement price. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-advisers, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $200 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.65% of the next $300 million; and 0.60% of average daily net assets in excess of $500 million.

Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC and, effective February 8, 2016, Franklin Advisers, Inc., Franklin Advisory Services, LLC, and Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (the “Sub-Advisers”) are each responsible for the day-to-day management of a portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Advisers a fee based on their respective managed portion of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective May 1, 2016 SSGA Funds Management, Inc., (“SSGA”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays SSGA a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administrative expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 21,640   

Legal

     5,953   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administrative expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $16,720 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $67,574 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class Shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

   $ 55,907,181   
  

 

 

 

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized, due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

Pre-Enactment Short-Term Capital Losses Expiring In    Post-Enactment Losses (No Expiration)*

2017

       Short-Term      Long-Term      Total

$13,508,734

       $29,865,795      $6,448,248      $49,822,777

*Capital loss carryovers with no expiration must be utilized first.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act), as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

LVIP Franklin Templeton Multi-Asset Opportunities Fund–11


LVIP Franklin Templeton Multi-Asset Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Franklin Templeton Multi-Asset Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security or ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Index swap contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Income and capital gains distributions from investment companies are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Such commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain from investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $2 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive 0.28% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s advisory fee. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses exceed 0.57% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.82% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Franklin Advisers, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For its services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, fees for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $785 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risks that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Swap Contracts–The Fund enters into index swap contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. Index Swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the Fund invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Fund may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures if such contracts are not directly available to the Fund on favorable terms.

Index Swaps. Index swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or termination of the swap contract. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the index swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Swaps Generally–The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Statement of Net Assets.

Average Volume of Derivatives–The table below summarizes the average balance of derivative holdings by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average balance of derivatives held is generally similar to the volume of derivative activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund has the following assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized.

6. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

 

There Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the period ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities.

LVIP Franklin Templeton Value Managed Volatility Fund

Disclosure

        OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP Franklin Templeton Value Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP Franklin Templeton Value Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Franklin Templeton Value Managed Volatility Fund (formerly LVIP Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all of its assets in other open-end investment companies, primarily the Mutual Shares VIP Fund, a series of Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). The Mutual Shares VIP Fund, which is advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invests primarily in U.S. and foreign stocks and bonds. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax year (years ended December 31, 2014-December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities

are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser(s), and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. Effective May 1, 2016, the waiver amount is 0.62% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive its entire advisory fee. The waiver amount was 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.05% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.40% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser(s) a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 5,384   

Legal

     1,387   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $4,873 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $18,418 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 11,239   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     5,457   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     63,651   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     862

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, Lincoln Life directly owned 30.84% of the Fund’s Standard Class shares.

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby a Fund held 5% or more of the investment companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Funds and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Investment Companies

   $ 225,356,719   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ (1,211,053
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

3. Investments (continued)

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of a Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis tables. The Expense Analysis tables do not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. These Expense Analyses are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analyses are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the tables, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the tables, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the tables, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. Each Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Funds’ expenses reflected above, the Funds also indirectly bear their portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying

LVIP Global Allocation Managed Risk Funds–18


LVIP Global Allocation Managed Risk Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Global Conservative Allocation Managed Risk Fund, LVIP Global Moderate Allocation Managed Risk Fund and LVIP Global Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in open-end investment companies, including in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or unaffiliated managers (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. A significant portion of the Underlying Funds employ a passive investment style (i.e. index funds). In addition to investment company investments, the Funds may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employ an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The investment objective of LVIP Global Conservative Allocation Managed Risk Fund is to seek a high level of current income with some consideration given to growth of capital.

The investment objective of LVIP Global Moderate Allocation Managed Risk Fund is to seek a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with an emphasis on growth of capital.

The investment objective of LVIP Global Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund is to seek a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation–ETFs, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the valuation date. ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. The Funds value Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on each Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Funds on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency TransactionsTransactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with each Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Funds do not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that

which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Funds report certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of each Fund’s investment portfolios, including monitoring of the Funds’ investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to each Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC).

Effective May 1, 2016, Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Funds’ managed risk strategy. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Funds’ investment portfolios. For these services, LIAC, not the Funds, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds. For these services, each Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statements of Operations, the Funds indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which they invest. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Funds may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, each Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by a Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds engaged in securities purchases and securities sales as follows:

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized, due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

As of December 31, 2015, the LVIP Global Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Futures Contracts–Each Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. Each Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, each Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, each Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to a Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for various series of the Trust (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Milliman prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and Milliman provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of Milliman, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information and LIAC and Milliman provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC, and Milliman to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of each Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for each Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the sub-advisory agreement between LIAC and Milliman with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Milliman under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that Milliman has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for each Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing each Fund’s managed risk strategy to Milliman as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending Milliman be appointed a sub-adviser for the managed risk strategy of the Funds, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the futures based managed risk overlay services provided by Milliman as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Funds. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Milliman, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Funds, Milliman’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for the Funds, and the reputation, resources and investment approach of Milliman. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that Milliman has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the Funds’ futures based managed risk strategy and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted Milliman’s view that the sub-advisory fees proposed by Milliman were competitive compared to other registered fund and institutional clients that employ the same futures based managed risk strategy as used for the Funds. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by Milliman as to any additional benefits it would receive and noted Milliman’s statement that the Sub-Advisory Agreement may strengthen Milliman’s name recognition as well as create non-pecuniary benefits from synergies related to conducting risk management programs for clients in large volume.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Funds.

The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, and swap contracts involves elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The notional values presented above represent the Fund’s total exposure in such contracts, whereas only the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in the Fund’s net assets.

1See Note 6 in “Notes to Financial Statements.”

2Notional value shown is stated in U.S. Dollars unless noted that the swap is denominated in another currency.

3Markit’s MCDX is an index comprised of 50 CDS contracts referencing municipal issuers as the Reference Entity. Launched in May 2008, it represents the next evolution in Markit’s synthetic credit indices, joining corporate, sovereign, asset backed, commercial mortgage backed, and loan CDS indices.

LVIP Global Income Fund–23


LVIP Global Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Global Income Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek current income consistent with the preservation of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at their mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities, credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker/counterparty and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally separates the portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. Gains or losses attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

 

LVIP Global Income Fund–24


LVIP Global Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign interest are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-advisers, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.07% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Mondrian Investment Partners Ltd. (“Mondrian”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of a portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays Mondrian a fee based on Mondrian’s managed portion of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin”) is also responsible for the day-to-day management of a portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays Franklin a fee based on Franklin’s managed portion of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

     $26,357   

Legal

     7,255   

        

 

 

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $48,442 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

     $481,480   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     129,995

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund

may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Swap Contracts–The Fund enters into CDS contracts and interest rate swap contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or hedge against changes in interest rates.

Credit Default Swaps–A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (a purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (a seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities, (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the counterparty the agreed-upon value for the reference security or basket of securities. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser and seller of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on CDS contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of a CDS contract. Initial margin and variation margin is posted to a central counterparty for centrally cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by an applicable central counterparty.

As disclosed in the footnotes to the Statement of Net Assets, at June 30, 2016, the notional value of the protection sold was EUR 800,000 and USD 3,250,000, which reflects the maximum potential amount the Fund would have been required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event had occurred. In addition to serving as the source of the current value of the securities, the quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative if the swap agreement has been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. At June 30, 2016, net unrealized depreciation of the protection sold was $97,112.

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting

5. Derivatives (continued)

arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Interest Rate Swaps–An interest rate swap contract is an exchange of interest rates between counterparties. An interest rate swap generally involves one party making payments based on a fixed interest rate in return for payments from a counterparty based on a variable or floating interest rate. The Fund may enter into either side of such a swap contract. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment (receipt) or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from (paid) to the counterparty over the interest rate swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Swaps Generally–The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Statement of Net Assets.

*Asset represents buying protection and liability represents selling protection.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund received $259,000 securities collateral (comprised of U.S. treasury securities) for certain open derivatives.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund held the following assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund invests require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

6. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose values are derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies or defaults, and may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates and shifts in the market’s perception of issuers. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on a CMO’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investment in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee reimbursements in effect.

LVIP Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund–13


LVIP Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a balance of current income and capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Other debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at published net asset value. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the policies adopted by Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014 - December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally separates the portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. Gains or losses attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

 

LVIP Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund–14


LVIP Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addtion, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund invests in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) which make distributions that are primarily attributable to return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital in the Statement of Operations using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in the distributions received from each MLP based on historical information from the MLPs and other industry sources. These estimates may be adjusted based on information received from the MLPs after the tax and fiscal year ends.

The return of capital portion of the MLP distributions is a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed its cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income and return of capital are only determined by each MLP after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amounts. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund estimated that 100% of the MLP distributions received would be treated as a return of capital.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $229 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses exceed 0.75% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 1.00% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For its services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $858 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and /or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from or liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement from LIAC

   $ 9,878   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     5,869   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     2,088   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     38   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, Lincoln Life directly owned 94.34% of the Standard Class shares and 67.61% of the Service Class shares of the Fund.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

   $ 5,323,082   

Purchases of U.S. government securities

     402,234   

Sales

     4,757,373   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

     $11,082,638   

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

     $     547,674   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

           (231,592

Net unrealized appreciation

     $     316,082   

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the

3. Investments (continued)

 

asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1      Level 2      Total

There were no Level 3 investments at the end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

 

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Government Money Market Fund (formerly, LVIP Money Market Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income while (i) maintaining a stable value of your shares (providing stability of net asset value) and (ii) preserving the value of your initial investment (preservation of capital). The Fund pursues its objective by investing at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, government securities (which include U.S. Treasury bills, notes and other obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities), and/or repurchase agreements secured by such obligations or cash. The yield of the Fund is not directly tied to the federal funds rate. The Fund invests in a portfolio of securities maturing in 397 days or less (with certain exceptions) that will have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less and a dollar-weighted average life of 120 days or less. The Fund may invest in variable or floating rate instruments, and transact in securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value and is permitted under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter adjusting for amortization of premium or accretion of discount to maturity. Significant inputs to the amortization cost method include purchase cost security, premium or discount at the purchase date and time to maturity. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at their mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at published net asset value.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of “settled shares” of each class in relation to the net assets of the Fund. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Repurchase Agreements–The Fund may purchase certain U.S. government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Fund’s custodian or a third-party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements as of the date of this report were entered into on June 30, 2016, and matured on the next business day.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i. e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. The Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays such dividends daily. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.48% of the first $200 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets; 0.40% of the next $200 million; and 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $400 million.

Effective April 1, 2016, BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. Prior to April 1, 2016, Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (the “Sub-Adviser”), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, was responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 18,749   

Legal

     5,161   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $15,284 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

LFD and LIAC have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to prevent a negative yield for each class of shares of the Fund. These voluntary waivers and reimbursements may be modified or terminated at any time, without notice, and are subject to future recapture by LFD and LIAC. Amounts waived and/or reimbursed under this agreement can be recaptured for a period of up to three years from the year in which LFD and LIAC waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund. The following table summarizes the amount of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses that may be recaptured and the fiscal years they expire:

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1      Level 2      Total

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Credit and Market Risk

Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit but may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.

Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not be able to make payments of principal and interest when due. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer.

When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e., debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations.

If the other party to a repurchase agreement or purchase and sale contract defaults on its obligation under the agreement, the Fund may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement. If the seller fails to repurchase the security in either situation and the market value of the security declines, the Fund may lose money.

An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $10.00 per share, it is possible to lose money investing in the Fund.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Money Market Reform

On July 23, 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted amendments to money market fund regulations, which structurally change the way that certain money market funds will be required to operate. These amendments are not effective until October 14, 2016, but when implemented will affect the Fund’s operations and may affect the Fund’s total return potential.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

LVIP Invesco Diversified Equity-Income Managed Volatility Fund

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP Invesco Diversified Equity-Income Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP Invesco Diversified Equity-Income Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Invesco Diversified Equity-Income Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in other open-end investment companies, primarily the Invesco Funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). The Invesco Funds, which are advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invest in stocks and bonds. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation and current income.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities

are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. Effective May 1, 2016, the waiver amount is 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, the waiver amount was 0.58% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.07% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.42% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for the day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 3,881   

Legal

     1,000   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $3,422 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $9,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from or liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 10,584   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     7,370   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     51,127   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     389

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Fund held 5% or more of the investments companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Fund and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests substantially all its assets in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the underlying funds can be found at www.sec.gov

LVIP Invesco Select Equity Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP Invesco Select Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Invesco Select Equity Managed Volatility Fund (formerly, LVIP Invesco V.I. Comstock Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust’s is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all its assets in other open-end investment companies, primarily the Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund and the Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) and the Underlying Funds are advised by an unaffiliated adviser. The Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund, invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics of such securities. The Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund generally holds up to 10% of its net assets in high-quality short-term debt securities and in investment grade corporate debt securities to provide liquidity. The Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks represented in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund invests in each common stock included in the S&P 500 Index in approximately equal proportions. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market investments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.65% of average daily net assets of the Fund. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. Effective May 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.51% of average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive its entire advisory fee. The waiver amount was 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

Effective May 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.14% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class (and 0.49% for the Service Class). This agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.00% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class (and 0.35% for the Service Class).

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 3,407   

Legal

     877   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $3,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $7,860 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation, or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Fund held 5% or more of the investment companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Fund and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1– inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2– other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

3. Investments (continued)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary

market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

 

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP JPMorgan High Yield Fund–22


LVIP JPMorgan High Yield Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ( the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP JPMorgan High Yield Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of debt securities which are rated below investment grade or unrated. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.65% of the first $500 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets; and 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 20,448

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $21,194 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

The value of Level 3 investments was zero at the end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Credit and Market Risk

The Fund invests in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP JPMorgan Select Mid Cap Value Managed Volatility Fund–11


LVIP JPMorgan Select Mid Cap Value Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP JPMorgan Select Mid Cap Value Managed Volatility Fund (formerly, LVIP JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not generally separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to change in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or

sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of the distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $3,306 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-advisers, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 1.05% of the first $60 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.75% of the next $90 million; and 0.65% of the average daily net assets in excess of $150 million. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount was 0.12% on the first $60 million of average daily net assets of the Fund.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (“JPMorgan”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays JPMorgan a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays SSGA a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which are included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 12,152   

Legal

     3,340   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services are included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $9,226 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $37,497 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 299,339   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     97,749   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     2,295   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

   $ 224,731,848   

Sales

     288,200,182   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 459,633,757   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 70,173,952   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (15,779,389
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 54,394,563   
  

 

 

 

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

   

Pre-Enactment

Short-Term
Capital Losses  Expiring In

   Post-Enactment
Losses (No Expiration)*
        
  2017    Short-Term      Long-Term      Total  
  $1,546,552    $ 10,105,615       $ 16,320,517       $ 27,972,684   

*Capital loss carryovers with no expiration must be utilized first.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts — The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Market Risk

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in small companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities and illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allow a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions. Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

        OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of a Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis tables. The Expense Analysis tables do not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. These Expense Analyses are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analyses are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the tables, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the tables, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the tables, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Funds’ actual expenses shown in the tables reflect expense reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. Each Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Funds’ expenses reflected above, the Funds also indirectly bear their portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in each table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Managed Risk Profile 2010 Fund, LVIP Managed Risk Profile 2020 Fund, LVIP Managed Risk Profile 2030 Fund, LVIP Managed Risk Profile 2040 Fund and LVIP Managed Risk Profile 2050 Fund (each, a Fund, and collectively, the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. Each Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in open-end investment companies that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or unaffiliated managers (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. A significant portion of the Underlying Funds employ a passive investment style (i.e., index funds). In addition to investment company investments, the Funds may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employ an actively managed risk management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Funds are Managed Risk Profile Target Maturity Funds which are designed for investors planning to retire close to the year indicated in the name of the Fund.

Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek the highest total return over time with an increased emphasis on capital preservation as the target date approaches. Thereafter, an emphasis will be placed on high current income with a secondary focus on capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation–The Funds value Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on each Fund’s federal income returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Funds on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with each Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Funds do not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Funds report certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of each Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to each Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. This fee is in addition to the management fees indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC).

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse each Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Standard Class (and 0.55% for the Service Class). The agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s managed risk strategy. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Funds, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds. For these services, each Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

The Funds offer Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to their distribution and service plan, the Funds are authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation, or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)

12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statements of Operations, the Funds indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which they invest. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Funds may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, each Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Fund held 5% or more of the investment companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds).

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–Each Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. Each Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, each Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, each Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to a Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for various series of the Trust (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Milliman prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and Milliman provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of Milliman, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information and LIAC and Milliman provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC, and Milliman to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of each Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for each Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the sub-advisory agreement between LIAC and Milliman with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Milliman under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that Milliman has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for each Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing each Fund’s managed risk strategy to Milliman as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending Milliman be appointed a sub-adviser for the managed risk strategy of the Funds, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the futures based managed risk overlay services provided by Milliman as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Funds. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Milliman, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Funds, Milliman’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for the Funds, and the reputation, resources and investment approach of Milliman. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that Milliman has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the Funds’ futures based managed risk strategy and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted Milliman’s view that the sub-advisory fees proposed by Milliman were competitive compared to other registered fund and institutional clients that employ the same futures based managed risk strategy as used for the Funds. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by Milliman as to any additional benefits it would receive and noted Milliman’s statement that the Sub-Advisory Agreement may strengthen Milliman’s name recognition as well as create non-pecuniary benefits from synergies related to conducting risk management programs for clients in large volume.

Overall Conclusions. Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Funds.

LVIP MFS International Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses cannot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP MFS International Equity Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP MFS International Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP MFS International Equity Managed Volatility Fund (formerly, LVIP MFS International Growth Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of fund structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in other mutual funds that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or other unaffiliated managers (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2013–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

LVIP MFS International Equity Managed Volatility Fund–8


LVIP MFS International Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC). LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.20% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.45% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment porfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 5,166   

Legal

     1,330   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $4,770 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $15,597 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class Shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from, liabilities payable, and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 9,450   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     32,665   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     40,829   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

     720   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of the Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

Post-Enactment Losses (No Expiration)

 
Short-Term   Long-Term     Total  
$1,414,282   $ 2,042,565      $ 3,456,847   

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses cannot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP MFS International Growth Fund–9


LVIP MFS International Growth Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

    

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP MFS International Growth Fund (“the Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Short-term debt securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income TaxesNo provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

 

LVIP MFS International Growth Fund–10

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commissions rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the first $50 million of average daily net assets of the Fund, and 0.95% of the next $50 million; 0.90% on the next $50 million; 0.85% on the next $100 million; and 0.80% of average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $250 million. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee as follows: 0.11% on the first $400 million of average daily net assets of the Fund and 0.10% of average daily net assets in excess of $400 million. This agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Massachusetts Financial Services Company (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 32,950   

Legal.

     9,066   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $23,451 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to a distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 746,005   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     32,498   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     877   

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $3,232,114 and securities sales of $2,436,400.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

   $ 145,404,187   

Sales

     187,592,356   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 1,184,209,623   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 206,071,500   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (134,749,977
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 71,321,523   
  

 

 

 

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized, due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

Pre-Enactment
Short-Term
Capital Losses Expiring In
     Post-Enactment
Losses (No Expiration)*
        
2016      2017      Short-Term      Long-Term      Total  
$ 17,856,965       $ 24,423,915       $ 3,701,776       $ 6,061,641       $ 52,044,297   

*Capital loss carryovers with no expiration must be utilized first.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, the majority of the Fund’s common stock was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

5. Derivatives (continued)

Average Volume of Derivatives–The table below summarizes the average balance of derivative holdings by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average balance of derivatives held is generally similar to the volume of derivative activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

     Asset Derivative Volume    Liability Derivative Volume

Foreign currency exchange contracts (average cost)

   $812,325    $1,218,773

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses cannot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP MFS Value Fund–8


LVIP MFS Value Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP MFS Value Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Short-term debt securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $17,955 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $75 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.70% of the next $75 million; 0.65% of the next $50 million; 0.60% of the next $300 million; 0.5875% of the next $1 billion; and 0.5625% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $1.5 billion.

Massachusetts Financial Services Company (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 28,075   

Legal

     7,717   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $44,008 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

   $ 776,647,383   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 400,727,474   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (12,872,897
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 387,854,577   
  

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses cannot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP Mondrian International Value Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

    

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Mondrian International Value Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation as measured by the change in the value of Fund shares over a period of three years or longer.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not generally separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

    

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of the first $200 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets; 0.75% of the next $200 million; and 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $400 million.

Mondrian Investment Partners Ltd. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 29,695   

Legal

     8,170   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $47,765 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 633,550   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     62,460   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     2,401   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

   $ 135,114,915   

Sales

     137,018,511   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated because final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016 the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 1,141,860,725   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 183,753,964   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (192,679,395
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (8,925,431
  

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The value of Level 3 investments was zero at the end of the period.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, the majority of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses cannot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP Multi-Manager Global Equity Managed Volatility Fund–8


LVIP Multi-Manager Global Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Multi-Manager Global Equity Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in open-end investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or unaffiliated managers (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by LIAC. The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks. In addition to investment companies, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market securities, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S.GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–ETFs, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the valuation date. ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series within the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e. the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC). LIAC has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. This waiver can be modified or terminated at any time, without notice, with the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, this waiver amounted to $10,740.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.70% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 990   

Legal

     255   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $919 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $1,950 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from or liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 4,954   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     6,070

     10,564   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     38   

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $74,042 and securities sales of $348,824.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, Lincoln Life directly owned 69.37% of the Standard Class shares and 34.00% of the Service Class shares of the Fund.

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Fund held 5% or more of the investment companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds or ETFs). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Fund and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

  inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

  other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

  inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Other Fund Information

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

        OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP PIMCO Low Duration Bond Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities, credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014-December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense, and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally separates the portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. Gains or losses attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Repurchase Agreements–The Fund may purchase certain U.S. government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Fund’s custodian or a third-party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy

by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At June 30, 2016, the Fund held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Reverse Repurchase AgreementsThe Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities to a bank or broker/dealer and agrees to repurchase the securities at an agreed upon date and price. The Fund will maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities in an amount sufficient to cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund will subject its investments in reverse repurchase agreements to the borrowing provisions set forth in the 1940 Act. The use of reverse repurchase agreements by the Fund creates leverage, which increases the Fund’s investment risk. If the income and gains on securities purchased with the proceeds of reverse repurchase agreements exceed the costs of the agreements, the Fund’s earnings or Net Asset Value (NAV) will increase faster than otherwise would be the case; conversely, if the income and gains fail to exceed the costs, earnings or NAV would decline faster than otherwise would be the case. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund had average reverse repurchase agreements of $168,093,126, for which it paid interest at an average rate of 0.71%. At June 30, 2016, the Fund pledged $14,321,785 in securities as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements.

The type of underlying collateral and the remaining maturity of open reverse repurchase agreements in relation to the reverse repurchase agreements on the Schedule of Investments is as follows:

 

          Remaining Contracted Maturity of the Agreements     

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

   Open/Demand1    Overnight    Up to 30 days   31-90 days    Greater Than 90
Days But Less
Than One Year
   Total

U.S. Treasury Obligations

   $—    $—    $(14,282,250)   $—    $—    $(14,282,250)

 

1Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time.

Short Sales–The Fund may make short sales in an attempt to protect against declines in an individual security or the overall market, to manage duration, or for such other purposes consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies. Typically, short sales are transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own and, at the time a short sale is effected, the Fund incurs an obligation to replace the security borrowed at whatever its price may be at the time the Fund purchases it for delivery to the lender. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. When a short sale transaction is closed out by delivery of the security, any gain or loss on the transaction generally is taxable as short-term capital gain or loss. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to any dividends or interest that accrue during the period of the loan. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. The proceeds of the short sale, and potentially additional margin, will be retained by the broker from whom the security is borrowed, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out.

Cash and Cash Equivalents–Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at financial institutions, which are available for the Fund’s use with no restrictions, with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

Pacific Investment Management Company (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 27,816   

Legal

     7,651   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $13,352 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 453,106   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     65,161   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

     328   

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $87,636,651 and securities sales of $57,568,442.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the futures but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Options Contracts–During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; to protect the value of portfolio securities; to increase yield during low interest rate environment; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities, futures, swaps, swaptions, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current

market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid at the close of the transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change. When buying options, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk.

Transactions in options written during the six months ended June 30, 2016 for the Fund were as follows:

Swap Contracts–The Fund enters into interest rate swap contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return, or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Interest Rate Swaps–An interest rate swap contract is an exchange of interest rates between counterparties. An interest rate swap generally involves one party making payments based on a fixed interest rate in return for payments from a counterparty based on a variable or floating interest rate. The Fund may enter into either side of such a swap contract. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Upon periodic payment/receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the interest rate swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Credit Default Swaps–A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (a purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (a seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular referenced security or basket of securities, such as an index. In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the counterpaty the agreed-upon value for the reference security or basket of securities. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a seller of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination

of the agreement. Initial margin and variation margin are posted to counterparties for centrally cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by the applicable central counterparty.

As disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments, at June 30, 2016, the notional value of the protection sold was $2,200,000, which reflects the maximum potential amount the Fund would have been required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event had occurred. In addition to serving as the source of the current value of the securities, the quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative if the swap agreement has been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. At June 30, 2016, net unrealized depreciation of the protection sold was $(3,941).

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.

Swaps Generally–The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Schedule of Investments.

*Asset represents buying protection and liability represents selling protection.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund posted $5,943,601 in securities as collateral for certain open derivatives. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the counterparty due to any loss on the collateral invested.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out), netting including the bankruptcy

or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund held the following assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions:

Reverse repurchase agreements

Reverse repurchase transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Reverse Repurchase Agreements (each, an “MRRA”). which permit the Fund, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. With reverse repurchase transactions, typically the Fund and the counterparties are permitted to sell, repledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRRA, the Fund receives or posts securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by the Fund upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRRA counterparty, the Fund is considered unsecured creditors with respect to excess collateral and, as such, the return of excess collateral may be delayed. As of June 30, 2016, the following table is a summary of the Fund’s reverse repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MRRA:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

6. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose values are derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and defaults, and may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates and shifts in the market’s perception of issuers. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on a CMO’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities, even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A which are determined to be liquid are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Schedule of Investments.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

        OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

LVIP Select Core Equity Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP Select Core Equity Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Select Core Equity Managed Volatility Fund (formerly LVIP VIP Contrafund® Managed Volatility Portfolio) (“the Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all its assets in other open-end investment companies, primarily the Fidelity® - VIP Contrafund® Portfolio (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). The Fidelity® - VIP Contrafund® Portfolio, which is advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invests primarily in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold is recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax return through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the open tax years (years ended December 31, 2013-December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain on loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gain(losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities

are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fees indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. Effective May 1, 2016, the waiver amount is 0.62% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, the waiver amount was 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.10% of the average daily net assets for the Standard class and 0.45% for the Service class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 12,424   

Legal

     3,198   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimbursed Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounts to $11,584 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and Statements to Shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $25,249 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or other, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, where by the 12b-1 Fee is currently 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 5,746   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     30,075   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     131,520   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Investment Companies

   $ 452,286,311   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ (3,124,777
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of a Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis tables. The Expense Analysis tables do not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. These Expense Analyses are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analyses are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the tables, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the tables, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the tables, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses cannot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Funds’ actual expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

*“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. Each Fund invests significantly all of its assets in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (collectively, the Underlying Funds). In addition to the Funds’ expenses reflected above, the Funds also indirectly bear their portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in each table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA Conservative Index Allocation Fund, LVIP SSGA Moderate Index Allocation Fund, LVIP SSGA Moderately Aggressive Index Allocation Fund, LVIP SSGA Conservative Structured Allocation Fund, LVIP SSGA Moderate Structured Allocation Fund and LVIP SSGA Moderately Aggressive Structured Allocation Fund (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are non-diversified management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act. Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

Each Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and mutual funds that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or unaffiliated managers (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. A significant portion of the Underlying Funds employ a passive investment style (i.e., index funds). In addition to investment company investments, the Funds may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The investment objective of the LVIP SSGA Conservative Index Allocation Fund and LVIP SSGA Conservative Structured Allocation Fund is to seek a high level of current income, with some consideration given to growth of capital.

The investment objective of the LVIP SSGA Moderate Index Allocation Fund and LVIP SSGA Moderate Structured Allocation Fund is to seek a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with an emphasis on growth of capital.

The investment objective of the LVIP SSGA Moderately Aggressive Index Allocation Fund and LVIP SSGA Moderately Aggressive Structured Allocation Fund is to seek a balance between high level of current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation–ETFs, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the valuation date. ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. The Funds value Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Funds’ federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Funds on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or

sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of each Fund’s investment portfolio and providing certain administrative services to each Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC). LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.10% of average daily net assets of each Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the LVIP SSGA Conservative Index Allocation Fund to the extent that annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.20% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.45% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

SSGA Funds Management Inc. (“SSGA”) provides consulting services to LIAC, but has no management discretion over the Funds’ assets and LIAC pays no compensation to SSGA under the consulting agreement.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds. For these services, each Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Funds. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds offer Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Funds are authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statements of Operations, the Funds indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which they invest. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Funds may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Funds had receivables due from, liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by a Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds engaged in securities purchases and securities sales as follows:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the

asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP SSGA Bond Index Fund–61


LVIP SSGA Bond Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA Bond Index Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”) and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to match as closely as practicable, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities, including short-term debt securities, utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

To Be Announced Trades–The Fund may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (e.g., “when issued”, “delayed delivery”, “forward commitment”, or “TBA transactions”) consistent with the Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may change prior to delivery.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. The Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective April 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee as follows: 0.08% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.122% of the next $1.5 billion of average daily net assets of the Fund; and 0.152% in excess of $2 billion of average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC. Prior to April 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee as follows: 0.07% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.12% of the next $1.5 billion of average daily net assets of the Fund; and 0.15% in excess of $2 billion of average daily net assets of the Fund.

SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 73,580   

Legal

     20,246   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $55,659 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Broad. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 655,418   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     210,570   

Printing and mailing fees payble to Lincoln Life

     2,937   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

Affiliated investments, for purposes of the 1940 Act are investments that have a common investment adviser. Affiliated investments of the Fund and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

Cost of investments

   $ 2,820,730,132

   $ 142,398,825   
  

 

 

 

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

    

 

5. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose values are derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and defaults, and may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates and shifts in the market’s perception of issuers. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on a CMO’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

      OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis tables. The Expense Analysis tables does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. These Expense Analyses are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analyses are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the tables, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the tables, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled, “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the tables, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Funds’ actual expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP SSGA Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA Developed International 150 Fund, LVIP SSGA Emerging Markets 100 Fund, LVIP SSGA Large Cap 100 Fund, and LVIP SSGA Small-Mid Cap 200 Fund (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). The financial statements of the other Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek to maximize long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company inconformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Short-term debt securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees ( the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Funds may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before each Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Funds may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Funds’ federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Funds on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with each Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Funds generally do not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Funds report certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Funds are aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholding not eligible for rebates. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with each Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Funds declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Funds may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Funds in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) from investments” on the Statement of Operations. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the brokerage commissions for LVIP SSGA Small-Mid Cap 200 Fund was $4. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no brokerage commissions for LVIP SSGA Developed International 150 Fund, LVIP SSGA Emerging Markets 100 Fund and LVIP SSGA Large Cap 100 Fund.

The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the LVIP SSGA Emerging Markets 100 Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment, in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–  

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–  

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–  

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of the restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Funds. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the LVIP SSGA Emerging Markets 100 Fund and the LVIP SSGA Developed International 150 Fund use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–Each Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. Each Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. Each Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to the risk

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. Each Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Funds to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Futures Contracts–Each Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. Each Fund may use index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity and minimizing costs. In addition, each Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, each Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to a Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Funds mitigate its counterparty risk, the LVIP SSGA Developed International 150 Fund and the LVIP SSGA Emerging Markets 100 Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

At June 30, 2016, the LVIP SSGA Developed International 150 Fund and the LVIP SSGA Emerging Markets 100 Fund held no assets or liabilities that are subject to the offsetting provisions.

At June 30, 2016, LVIP SSGA Large Cap 100 Fund and LVIP SSGA Small-Mid Cap 200 Fund posted collateral for futures contracts as follows:

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the LVIP SSGA Developed International 150 Fund and the LVIP SSGA Emerging Markets 100 Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad. The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Funds may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets are held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Funds.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The LVIP SSGA Small-Mid Cap 200 Fund may invest its assets in small- and mid-sized companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small- or mid-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

The Funds invest in REITs and are subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Funds acquires a direct interest in real estate directly as a result of defaults or receive rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Funds had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Funds’ REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Funds may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Funds from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Funds’ Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Funds’ limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities for LVIP SSGA Developed International 150 Fund, LVIP SSGA Large Cap 100 Fund and LVIP SSGA Small-Mid Cap Fund. Rule 144A securities for LVIP SSGA Emerging Markets 100 Fund have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets. As of June 30, 2016, there were no illiquid securities for LVIP SSGA Developed International 150 Fund and LVIP SSGA Small-Mid Cap 200 Fund. As of June 30, 2016, illiquid securities for LVIP SSGA Emerging Markets 100 Fund and LVIP SSGA Large Cap 100 Fund have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (collectively, the Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP SSGA Global Tactical Allocation Managed Volatility Fund–8


LVIP SSGA Global Tactical Allocation Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA Global Tactical Allocation Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in open-end investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or other unaffiliated managers (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a consideration.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–ETFs, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the valuation date. ETFs traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gains distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commissions to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement accorded the order, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC). LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC.

SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. Effective May 1, 2016 SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s volatility management overlay. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser(s) a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 25,846   

Legal

     7,113   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $20,170 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $41,941 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds and ETFs has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds and ETFs at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

3. Investments (continued)

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments)

 

(e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Investment Companies

   $ 966,355,201   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ (4,903,882
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized, due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Credit and Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Other Fund Information (unaudited)

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

      OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) Fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–18


LVIP SSGA International Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA International Index Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to approximate as closely as practicable, before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad market index of non-U.S. foreign securities.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addtion, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Effective April 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee as follows: 0.052% of the first $1 billion of the average daily net assets of the Fund and 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $1 billion. Prior to April 1, 2016, the waiver amount was 0.03% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.05% of the next $500 million and 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $1 billion. This agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 62,835   

Legal

     17,284   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $23,055 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 618,199   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     53,823   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     3,461   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

   $ 160,805,288   

Sales

     210,539,717   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 2,208,105,638   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 420,829,351   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (388,659,513
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 32,169,838   
  

 

 

 

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses; however, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized, due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss, whereas before the Act, capital losses carried forward were treated as short-term.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

    

Pre-Enactment

Short-Term
Capital Losses Expiring In

      

Post-Enactment

     $7,582,791      $29,893,991      $37,532,965

*Capital Loss Carryovers with no expiration must be utilized first.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

3. Investments (continued)

 

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, the majority of the Fund’s common stock was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity and minimizing costs. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counter party certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had no open derivatives subject to the offsetting provisions.

6. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests significantly all of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP SSGA International Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP SSGA International Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA International Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all of its assets in open-end investment companies, primarily the LVIP SSGA International Index Fund (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). The LVIP SSGA International Index Fund, which is advised by an unaffiliated sub-adviser, invests primarily in the securities of companies located in developed countries outside of the United States. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end Funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of the open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of the Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Fund’s NAV, see the Underlying Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold is recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. The changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.76% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment adviser of the Underlying Fund (including LIAC). LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.53% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, the waiver was 0.56% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.50% for the Service Class. The agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, fees for the administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 2,528   

Legal

     651   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $2,289 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $4,724 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation, or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 9,434   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     19,946   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     21,679   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     64   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, Lincoln Life directly owned 100% of the Standard Class shares of the Fund.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Fund held 5% or more of the investments companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Fund and corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements except as disclosed above.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allow a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions. Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

      OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP SSGA Large Cap Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP SSGA Large Cap Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA Large Cap Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all of its assets in other open-end investment companies, primarily the LVIP SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund (collectively, “the Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). The LVIP SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund, which is sub-advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invests primarily in stocks that make up the S&P 500 Index and money market instruments. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidlines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2013-December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC). LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. Effective May 1, 2016, the waiver amount is 0.47% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, the waiver amount was 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for the day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.50% for the Service Class. The agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 5,604   

Legal

     1,443   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $5,073 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $14,171 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class Shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from, liabilities payable, and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 6,034   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     43,728   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     47,521   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

     938   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, Lincoln Life directly owned 26.80% of the Standard Class shares of the Fund.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

   $3,631,289    $6,983,731

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1– inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)
Level 2– other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)
Level 3– inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Disclosure

      OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect the waivers in effect.

LVIP SSGA Mid-Cap Index Fund–12


LVIP SSGA Mid-Cap Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA Mid-Cap Index Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to approximate as closely as practicable, before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad market index that emphasizes stocks of mid-sized U.S. companies.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closure or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014 - December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.27% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Effective April 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.002% of the first $1 billion of the average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 29,789   

Legal

     8,189   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $689 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 241,482   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     2   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

     39   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, Lincoln Life directly owned 100.00% of the Service Class shares of the Fund.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

   $ 173,486,998   

Sales

     373,331,455   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 962,829,209   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 111,079,742

3. Investments (continued)

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–   inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)
Level 2–   other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)
Level 3–   inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Common Stock.

   $ 979,521,465   

Money Market Fund

     20,149,868   
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 999,671,333   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ 22,290   
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

5. Derivatives (continued)

 

U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

Average Volume of Derivatives–The table below summarizes the average balance of derivative holdings by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average balance of derivatives held is generally similar to the volume of derivative activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

   $29,432,128    $—

6. Market Risk

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

      OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to approximate as closely as practicable, before fees and expenses, the total rate of return of common stocks publicly traded in the United States, as represented by the S&P 500® Index.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on the The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Short-term debt securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value, which approximates fair value. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures, or suspension of trading in a security.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. For foreign securities, these changes are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of the distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.24% of the first $500 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.20% of the next $500 million; and 0.16% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. Effective April 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.002% of the first $1 billion of the average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board and LIAC.

SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 168,368   

Legal

     46,313   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $83,558 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

 

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 921,320   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     198,612   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–  

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–  

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–  

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments)

(e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. The Fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity and minimizing costs. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

Average Volume of Derivatives–The table below summarizes the average balance of derivative holdings by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average balance of derivatives held is generally similar to the volume of derivative activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

     Asset Derivative Volume    Liability Derivative Volume

Futures contracts (average notional value)

   $156,415,940    $—

At June 30, 2016, the Fund pledged U.S. Treasury obligations with a value of $11,390,715 as collateral for futures contracts.

6. Credit and Market Risk

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

      OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different fund. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP SSGA Small-Cap Index Fund–28


LVIP SSGA Small-Cap Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA Small-Cap Index Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to approximate as closely as practicable, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Russell 2000® Index, which emphasizes stocks of small U.S. companies.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Short-term debt securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and the ask prices, which approximate fair value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximate fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer or management estimates. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commissions to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement accorded the order, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.32% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Effective April 1, 2016, LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.005% of the Fund’s first $500 million of average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board and LIAC.

SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimbursed Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 36,591   

Legal.

     10,066   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimbursed Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $67,118 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–

 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–

 

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–

 

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments)

 

(e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally

mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to control overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S or foreign cash or pledges U.S government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Average Volume of Derivatives–The table below summarizes the average balance of derivative holdings by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average balance of derivatives held is generally similar to the volume of derivative activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund pledged U.S. Treasury Obligations with a value of $2,397,000 as collateral for futures contracts.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund has no assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

6. Market Risk

 

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in small companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP SSGA SMID Cap Managed Volatility Fund–7


LVIP SSGA SMID Cap Managed Volatility Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA SMID Cap Managed Volatility Fund (formerly LVIP SSgA Small-Cap Managed Volatility Fund) (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all of its assets in other open-end investment companies, primarily the LVIP SSGA Small-Cap Index Fund (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). The LVIP SSGA Small-Cap Index Fund, which is sub-advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invests primarily in stocks that make up the SSGA Small-Cap Index and money market instruments. In addition to mutual fund investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2013–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser(s), and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC). LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.67% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount was 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.50% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser(s) a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 5,566   

Legal

     1,434   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $5,080 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $7,788 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from, liabilities payable, and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 7,397   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     42,860   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     46,550   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

     1,169   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

At June 30, 2016, Lincoln Life directly owned 6.00% of the Fund’s Standard Class shares.

     35,811,765   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

 

Post-Enactment Losses (No Expiration)

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

Level 1–   inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)
Level 2–   other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)
Level 3–   inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments)
  (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions. Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund–8


LVIP T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of the distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Such commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain from investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $3,508 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.80% of the first $50 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.75% of the next $50 million; 0.70% of the next $150 million; 0.65% of the next $250 million; and 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $500 million.

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 22,499   

Legal

     6,189   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $16,441 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 477,773   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     52,639   

Prepaid printing and mailing fees to Lincoln Life

     666   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at June 30, 2016, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. This risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

     Asset Derivative Volume    Liability Derivative Volume

Foreign currency exchange contracts (average cost)

   $1,417    $6,117

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund has no assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions.

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a small number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflects fee waivers in effect.

LVIP T. Rowe Price Structured Mid-Cap Growth Fund–11


LVIP T. Rowe Price Structured Mid-Cap Growth Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP T. Rowe Price Structured Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize the value of your shares (capital appreciation).

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between their bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain on investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $77 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $200 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.70% of the next $200 million; and 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $400 million. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $750 million. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board and LIAC.

LIAC voluntarily waived fees in the amount of $1,944 during the period. This voluntary waiver is not subject to recapture by LIAC and entails no obligations on the part of LIAC to waive additional amounts.

T. Rowe Price (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administrative expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 16,634   

Legal

     4,576   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $30,679 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

     27,099   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     1,973   

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,002,142 and securities sales of $-.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

Sensitivity Analysis:

Valuation: U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fund fair values its financial instruments at fair value using independent pricing sources under the policies approved by the Board. The Pricing Committee is the committee formed by the advisor to develop pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Fund.

When market quotations are not readily available for one or more portfolio securities, the Fund’s Net Asset Value shall be calculated by using the “fair value” of the securities as determined by the Pricing Committee. Such “fair value” is the amount that a Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security (or asset) upon its current sale. Each determination should be based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to: (i) the type of security, (ii) the size of the holding, (iii) the initial cost of the security, (iv) the existence of any contractual restrictions of the security’s disposition, (v) the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, (vi) quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services, (vii) information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), (viii) an analysis of the company’s financial statements, and (ix) an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.

The Pricing Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches, including due diligence of the Fund’s pricing vendors and periodic back-testing of the prices that are fair valued under these procedures and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all securities fair valued by the Pricing Committee is subsequently reported to and approved by the Board on a quarterly basis.

We did not present a table including the quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements as all unobservable Level 3 measurements were provided by third parties as of June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Market Risk

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in small- and mid-sized companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small- or mid-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

LVIP U.S. Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial Statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP U.S. Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund–7


LVIP U.S. Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP U.S. Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests a significant portion of its assets in open-end investment companies that are advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) or other unaffiliated managers (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, bonds and money market instruments. A significant portion of the Underlying Funds employ a passive investment style (i.e. index funds). In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with an emphasis on growth of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the open tax year (year ended December 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense, and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain / loss are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds (including LIAC). LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.45% of the average daily net asset of the Fund. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC.

LIAC had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses) exceeded 0.35% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.60% for the Service Class. This agreement ended on April 30, 2016.

Effective May 1, 2016, Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s managed risk strategy. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 8,743   

Legal

     2,255   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $1,849 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $4,794 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 89,740   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     89,495   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     316

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued)

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

Affiliated investment companies, for purposes of the 1940 Act, are investments that have a common investment adviser, LIAC (LVIP Funds), or investments in issuers whereby the Fund held 5% or more of the investments companies’ outstanding securities (non-LVIP Funds). Investments in companies considered to be affiliates of the Fund and the corresponding investment activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

     31,239,550   

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

   $ 443,274,476   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 10,887,288   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures  contracts, options contracts)

 

LVIP U.S. Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund–10


LVIP U.S. Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

    

 

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Investment Companies

   $ 451,945,825   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ (3,367,552
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for various series of the Trust (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Milliman prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and Milliman provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of Milliman, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information and LIAC and Milliman provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC, and Milliman to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of each Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for each Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the sub-advisory agreement between LIAC and Milliman with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Milliman under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that Milliman has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for each Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing each Fund’s managed risk strategy to Milliman as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending Milliman be appointed a sub-adviser for the managed risk strategy of the Funds, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the futures based managed risk overlay services provided by Milliman as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Funds. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Milliman, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Funds, Milliman’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed risk strategy for the Funds, and the reputation, resources and investment approach of Milliman. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that Milliman has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the Funds’ futures based managed risk strategy and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by Milliman were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted Milliman’s view that the sub-advisory fees proposed by Milliman were competitive compared to other registered fund and institutional clients that employ the same futures based managed risk strategy as used for the Funds. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and Milliman, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate Milliman from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by Milliman as to any additional benefits it would receive and noted Milliman’s statement that the Sub-Advisory Agreement may strengthen Milliman’s name recognition as well as create non-pecuniary benefits from synergies related to conducting risk management programs for clients in large volume.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Funds.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life}) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

LVIP Wellington Capital Growth Fund–8


LVIP Wellington Capital Growth Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Wellington Capital Growth Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital growth. Realization of income is not a significant investment consideration and any income realized will be incidental.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain on investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $1,220 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $100 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.70% of the next $150 million; 0.65% of the next $750 million; and 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $1 billion.

Wellington Management Company LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 11,382   

Legal

     3,132   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $34,137 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12-b1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 248,634   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     63,276   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     523   

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

 

Purchases

   $ 58,442,029

3. Investments (continued)

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Cost of investments

   $ 321,342,651   
  

 

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation

   $ 125,317,209   

Aggregate unrealized depreciation

     (7,496,094
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 117,821,115   
  

 

 

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Common Stock.

   $ 433,941,256   

Money Market Fund

     5,222,510   
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 439,163,766   
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled, “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP Wellington Mid-Cap Value Fund–8


LVIP Wellington Mid-Cap Value Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP Wellington Mid-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are used when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2012–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Foreign Currency Transactions–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain/loss are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

LVIP Wellington Mid-Cap Value Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

    

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer or management estimate. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Commission rebates are included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” on the Statement of Operations and totaled $1,049 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 1.05% on the first $25 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.95% on the next $25 million; 0.85% on the next $50 million; 0.75% on the next $150 million; and 0.70% on average daily net assets in excess of $250 million.

LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount is 0.05% of the first $25 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board and LIAC.

Wellington Management Company LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 3,745   

Legal

     1,028   

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $8,723 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. This limitation can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had liabilities payable and prepaid expenses to affiliates as follows:

 

Management fees payable to LIAC

   $ 111,635   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     16,922

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that resulted from the Fund’s use of international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair value procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is paid for and delivered. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. A change in a contract’s value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future but does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. Although foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to the risk that counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts. This Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty.

6. Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in mid-sized companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in mid-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund acquires a direct interest in real estate as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized. The Fund had no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be illiquid, are not subject to the Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of June 30, 2016, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities are identified on the Statement of Net Assets.

7. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Disclosure

OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

For the Period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016

 

The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account’s cost of owning shares of the Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis table. The Expense Analysis table does not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges.

As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses can not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in other investment companies (Underlying Funds). In addition to the Fund’s expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the applicable Underlying Funds. The Expense Analysis of an investment in the table above does not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

LVIP VIP Mid Cap Managed Volatility Portfolio–7


LVIP VIP Mid Cap Managed Volatility Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

 

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust and consists of 93 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP VIP Mid Cap Managed Volatility Portfolio (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”). Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts.

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and invests substantially all of its assets in other open-end investment companies, primarily the Fidelity® VIP Mid Cap Portfolio (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund is advised by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”). The Fidelity® VIP Mid Cap Portfolio, which is advised by an unaffiliated adviser, invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies with medium market capitalization. In addition to investment company investments, the Fund may invest in individual securities, such as money market instruments, and employs an actively managed risk-management overlay strategy that invests directly in exchange-traded futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility. Financial statements for the Underlying Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation–The Fund values Underlying Funds that are open-end funds at their published net asset value (“NAV”), computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on days when the NYSE is open. Securities of each open-end Underlying Fund are valued under the valuation policy of such Underlying Fund. For information regarding the determination of the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2014–December 31, 2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Foreign Currency Transaction–Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rate on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transactions gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not separate the portion of realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. Both types of changes in gain (loss) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Other–Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series within the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities

are those of the specific securities sold. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custodian fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates

LIAC is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser(s), and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.69% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee is in addition to the management fee indirectly paid to the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. Effective May 1, 2016, the waiver amount is 0.61% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and LIAC. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee. The waiver amount was 0.64% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the annual operating expenses (excluding Underlying Fund fees and expenses and merger costs*) exceed 0.10% of average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.45% for the Service Class. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2017, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC.

Effective May 1, 2016, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for managing the Fund’s volatility management overlay. Prior to May 1, 2016, LIAC was responsible for day-to-day management of the entirety of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser(s) a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows:

 

Administrative

   $ 2,125   

Legal

     547   

Lincoln Life also performs daily trading operations. The cost of these services is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimbursed Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $1,949 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $8,021 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Fund offers Standard Class and Service Class shares. Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual distribution and/or service fee (“12b-1 Fee”) rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC, whereby the 12b-1 Fee is 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. No distribution expenses are paid by Standard Class shares.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses reflected on the Statement of Operations, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Because each of the Underlying Funds has varied expense and fee levels, and the Fund may own different amounts of shares of these Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly will vary.

At June 30, 2016, the Fund had receivables due from and liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

 

Expense reimbursement receivable from LIAC

   $ 10,762   

Management fees payable to LIAC

     5,370   

Distribution fees payable to LFD

     23,215   

Printing and mailing fees payable to Lincoln Life

     51

At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At June 30, 2016, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

     Post-Enactment Losses
(No Expiration)
     Short-Term
   $79,879

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2–other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

 

     Level 1  

Investment Companies

   $ 80,049,400   
  

 

 

 

Futures Contracts

   $ (677,451
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period.

3. Investments (continued)

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

5. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:

6. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Market Risk

Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

8. Subsequent Events

In March 2016, the Board approved a proposal, subject to shareholder approval, to merge the Fund with and into LVIP Blended Mid Cap Managed Volatility Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). The merger is not expected to be a taxable event for contract holders. More information about the Acquiring Fund and the definitive terms of the merger will be included in the proxy materials that will be mailed to contract holders.

Management has determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement

On January 6, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things the approval of the sub-advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LIAC, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and SSGA FM prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of investment sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life and SSGA FM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including in-person presentations by representatives of SSGA FM, information about proposed sub-advisory fees and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board noted that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information, and LIAC and SSGA FM provided materials in response. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and employees of Lincoln Life, LIAC and SSGA FM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved for the Fund. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between LIAC and SSGA FM with respect to the Funds, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SSGA FM under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that SSGA FM provided sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board had reviewed extensive information provided by SSGA FM in connection with the annual contract renewal process most recently concluded in September 2015. The Board noted that State Street Global Advisors (“SSGA”), an affiliate of SSGA FM, has served as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that LIAC proposed to delegate the responsibility of managing the Fund’s managed volatility overlay to SSGA FM as sub-adviser. The Board considered the criteria provided by LIAC in recommending SSGA FM be appointed a sub-adviser for the Fund’s managed volatility overlay, including historical modeling and noted that the Board was familiar with the managed volatility overlay services provided by SSGA as a consultant to LIAC with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by SSGA FM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund, SSGA’s consulting work for LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA FM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be satisfactory.

Performance. With respect to performance, the Board considered that SSGA has served as a risk management consultant to LIAC with respect to the managed volatility overlay for the Fund and that the Board received quarterly performance information from LIAC and also from Morningstar, Inc. as part of the annual contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by SSGA FM were expected to be acceptable.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule and noted SSGA FM’s statement that it does not sub-advise any portfolios with similar investment objectives. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA FM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LIAC would compensate SSGA FM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA FM as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA FM indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Fund in the marketplace.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.
