Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund maintained its exposure to the Nasdaq-100 Index (the Index) throughout the year via its position in the LVIP SSGA Nasdaq-100 Index Fund and the QQQ FLEX options. In 2024, the U.S. technology stocks extended another year of the current bull market run driven by solid economic growth, improving inflation, and the Fed’s commencement of interest rate cuts. For the year, the Fund captured 62% of the Index’s positive return with 49% of its volatility and 51% of its maximum peak-to-trough drawdown, which resulted in a higher return-to-risk ratio compared to the Index.

 

The largest contributors to the performance of the Fund are:

  • The underlying LVIP SSGA Nasdaq-100 Index Fund and the long call options which are used for providing exposure to the Index

The largest detractors from the performance of the Fund are:

  • The put options which are used for providing downside protection

  • The short call options that finance the put options, resulting in upside limitation

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund maintained its exposure to the S&P 500 Index (the Index) throughout the year via its position in the LVIP SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund and the S&P 500 FLEX options. In 2024, the U.S. large cap stocks extended another year of the current bull market run driven by solid economic growth, improving inflation, and the Fed’s commencement of interest rate cuts. For the year, the Fund captured 46% of the Index’s positive return with 30% of its volatility and 34% of its maximum peak-to-trough drawdown, which resulted in a higher return-to-risk ratio compared to the Index.

 

The largest contributors to the performance of the Fund are:

  • The underlying LVIP SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund and the long call options which are used for providing exposure to the Index

The largest detractors from the performance of the Fund are:

  • The put options which are used for providing downside protection

  • The short call options that finance the put options, resulting in upside limitation

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The LVIP Global Aggressive Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund operates in a fund of funds structure and is designed to give broad exposure to domestic equities and fixed income securities by investing in a combination of actively managed, passive index and multi-factor funds.

  • During 2024, the performance of the Fund was primarily driven by the Fund’s asset allocation and its underlying holdings. The Fund modestly underperformed its composite benchmark for the year.

  • Equity allocations to actively managed large and mid-cap growth funds generally contributed positively to performance. Conversely, equity allocations to actively managed large and mid-cap value-oriented funds generally detracted from returns.

  • Within fixed income, allocations to actively managed core bond funds contributed to returns as they outperformed the fixed income index component of the Fund’s composite benchmark.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The LVIP U.S. Aggressive Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund operates in a fund of funds structure and is designed to give broad exposure to domestic equities and fixed income securities by investing in a combination of actively managed, passive index and multi-factor funds.

  • During 2024, the performance of the Fund was primarily driven by the Fund’s asset allocation and its underlying holdings. The Fund underperformed its composite benchmark for the year.

  • Equity allocations to actively managed large and mid-cap growth funds generally contributed positively to performance. Conversely, equity allocations to actively managed large and mid-cap value-oriented funds generally detracted from returns.

  • Within fixed income, allocations to actively managed core bond funds contributed to returns as they outperformed the fixed income index component of the Fund’s composite benchmark.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund delivered strong positive absolute returns but underperformed its benchmark index during 2024. Both stock and sector selection weighed on overall relative returns during the period. Stock selection within consumer discretionary and an overweight to healthcare detracted the most. In contrast, selection within healthcare and communication services contributed.

 

Real rates have normalized after more than a decade of quantitative easing and equities continue to power forward, a simple reminder that holding allocations to the best, most profitable growth companies, and sticking with them through turbulence, remains a time-tested playbook for investors. The Fund follows a bottom-up process and does not forecast the macro environment or what the Fed will do next. Instead the Fund is constructed to try and insulate against all possible scenarios. To guard against higher-for-longer interest rates, the Fund seeks to avoid excessive valuation risk as momentum drives many pockets of the market higher.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Because the majority of the Fund's risk and return are a result of its equity allocation, this report focuses on the equity portfolio. The Fund's equity portion underperformed in a period when market gains were concentrated in a handful of mega-cap companies.

  • Stock selection in the textiles, apparel and luxury goods industry was the leading contributor to relative performance.

  • Positioning among stocks in the computers and peripherals, media and specialized REITs industries also contributed.

  • Stock selection within the information technology sector was the leading detractor.

  • Positioning among companies in the software and electronic equipment and instruments industries hurt relative returns.

  • Negative stock selection made energy, consumer staples and health care other notable sector detractors.

  • The fixed-income allocation produced modest gains, reflecting the slight overall decline in bond yields during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Persistent inflation, Federal Reserve easing and interest rate volatility broadly influenced the Fund's performance for the period.

  • Sector allocations drove performance, particularly out-of-index positions in securitized and investment-grade credit securities. Holdings in agency mortgage-backed securities, non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities were top contributors.

  • To maximize inflation exposure, while adhering to the IRS-mandated TIPS limit (55% of assets), inflation swaps were used to create an inflation overlay for the corporate and securitized securities. This strategy aided results, as the corporate and securitized holdings offset detractions in the inflation exposure. The subadviser's preference for shorter-maturity inflation securities largely accounted for the detractions, particularly in the third quarter, when shorter-maturity breakeven rates declined.

  •  While the Fund's duration aided results, positioning along the yield curve detracted and more than offset the positive duration effects.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Non-U.S. developed markets stocks finished the period higher. Central banks in most developed economies cut their benchmark interest rates, while navigating a soft landing through cooling inflation, Japan was the exception. Equities experienced bouts of volatility as economic growth broadly slowed, although company fundamentals improved. Political uncertainty also weighed on growth expectations. The Fund performed better than its benchmark for the period due to stock selection and positive interaction among portfolio holdings.

  • Consumer discretionary holdings were key drivers of outperformance as athletic shoe and apparel manufacturer, On Holding, was the top individual contributor to relative performance.

  • Within the industrials sector, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was a top contributor. Electrical equipment companies also contributed.

  • Health care sector positions were the primary detractors. After a long period of strong performance, pharmaceuticals manufacturer Novo Nordisk faced headwinds. Clinical services provider ICON (not held as of 12/31/2024) also detracted.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Non-U.S. developed markets stocks finished the period higher. Central banks in most developed economies cut their benchmark interest rates, while navigating a soft landing through cooling inflation, Japan was the exception. Equities experienced bouts of volatility as economic growth broadly slowed, although company fundamentals improved. Political uncertainty also weighed on growth expectations. The Fund performed better than its benchmark for the period due to stock selection and positive interaction among portfolio holdings.

  • Consumer discretionary holdings were key drivers of outperformance as athletic shoe and apparel manufacturer, On Holding, was the top individual contributor to relative performance.

  • Within the industrials sector, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was a top contributor. Electrical equipment companies also contributed.

  • Health care sector positions were the primary detractors. After a long period of strong performance, pharmaceuticals manufacturer Novo Nordisk faced headwinds. Clinical services provider ICON (not held as of 12/31/2024) also detracted.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Investors' acceptance of risk in 2024 favored growth and momentum stocks, while value and low volatility lagged. Inflation ebbed during the year, prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. Still, inflation remained above the Fed's target. The labor force remained sturdy and consumers continue to spend, fortifying confidence in the resilience of the U.S. economy. The Fund underperformed the benchmark during the year, driven primarily by security selection.

  • Security selection within the consumer staples sector was the top detractor to performance.

  • Within the sector, selection in the consumer staples distribution and retail industry weighed the most on results.

  • The Fund's holdings in the health care sector, particularly makers of health care equipment and supplies and pharmaceutical companies, also detracted from relative returns.

  • Security selection within the information technology sector aided performance.

  • Within the sector, investments in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industry contributed the most.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During calendar year 2024 market participants favored growth and momentum stocks, while value and low volatility lagged. The Fund underperformed the benchmark during the year, driven primarily by stock selection.

  • Selection within the industrials sector was the top detractor to performance.

  • Within the industrials sector, selection in the aerospace and defense industry weighed the most on results.

  • Stock selection within the consumer staples sector also detracted, especially within the beverages industry.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund delivered positive returns during the year, but underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index.

  • Security selection within the industrials sector limited relative performance.

  • An overweight in the consumer staples sector, including the beverages, consumer staples distribution and retail industries, detracted.

  • An underweight in the materials sector, specifically the chemicals and metals and mining industries, contributed to relative returns.

  • Security selection within the information technology sector, namely semiconductors, also contributed. The Fund hedges the inherent currency exchange risk of holding foreign securities through the use of forward currency contracts.

 

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Large-cap growth stocks posted strong gains during the period amid steady economic growth and anticipation of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which arrived late in 2024. Nevertheless, high valuations and political uncertainty contributed to market volatility. The underperformance of the Fund was largely due to stock selection. Sector allocation decisions also detracted to a lesser degree.

  • The health care sector was the primary detractor. Positioning in the biotechnology and health care equipment and supplies industries detracted the most from relative results.

  • Within the information technology sector, stock selection among semiconductor companies hurt relative returns the most.

  • Stock selection within the consumer staples sector contributed the most to relative performance.

  • Within the sector, avoiding poor-performing beverage companies was the main source of relative strength.

  • The Fund also benefited from having an underweight allocation to the real estate sector, which lagged the benchmark.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Large-cap growth stocks posted strong gains during the period amid steady economic growth and anticipation of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which arrived late in 2024. Nevertheless, high valuations and political uncertainty contributed to market volatility. The underperformance of the Fund was largely due to stock selection. Sector allocation decisions also detracted to a lesser degree.

  • The health care sector was the primary detractor. Positioning in the biotechnology and health care equipment and supplies industries detracted the most from relative results.

  • Within the information technology sector, stock selection among semiconductor companies hurt relative returns the most.

  • Stock selection within the consumer staples sector contributed the most to relative performance.

  • Within the sector, avoiding poor-performing beverage companies was the main source of relative strength.

  • The Fund also benefited from having an underweight allocation to the real estate sector, which lagged the benchmark.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During calendar year 2024 market participants favored growth and momentum stocks, while value and low volatility lagged. The Fund underperformed the benchmark during the year, mostly driven by security selection.

  • Security selection within the consumer staples sector was the top detractor to performance.

  • Within the sector, investment choices in the consumer staples distribution and retail industry dampened results.

  • Security selection within the industrials sector also detracted from relative results.

  • Within the sector, the electrical equipment industry detracted most from relative returns.

  • Stock selection within the communication services sector contributed to relative performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During the Fund's fiscal year, U.S. economic growth remained solid, driven by strong consumer spending. This growth persisted despite the uncertainties surrounding the presidential election, high interest rates and a slowing labor market. Overseas, Europe and Japan saw modest growth while the U.K. economy contracted in September and October, but grew slightly in November. Among emerging economies, China faced stagnant consumption, a property crisis and rising debt. Conversely, India showed resilience with strong growth and robust investment, though it struggled with inflation.

  • Holdings in a majority of equity sectors produced positive contribution for the Fund, with shares of information technology, financials and communication services companies particularly additive to results. Industrials and consumer discretionary sectors were also positive, although below the portfolio’s overall return. Geographically, investments based in the U.S., Taiwan and Canada were additive.

  • On the contrary, holdings in the consumer staples, energy and utilities sectors weighed on results during the period. Likewise, investments in South Korea, Germany and India posted negative overall returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During the Fund's fiscal year, U.S. economic growth remained solid, despite election uncertainties, high interest rates and a slowing labor market. Europe and Japan saw modest growth while the U.K. economy contracted in September and October. China faced stagnant consumption, a property crisis and rising debt. India showed resilience with strong growth and investment, despite inflation.

  • Overall, less than half of the Fund’s sectors added positive returns to the portfolio, with utilities, financials and energy holdings being particularly additive. Likewise, information technology and industrials holdings saw returns surpassing those of the overall portfolio. Regionally, shares of companies based in the U.S., emerging markets and the U.K. were particularly additive.

  • In terms of detractors, holdings in consumer staples, communication services and materials saw the largest negative returns during the period. Likewise, investments in companies domiciled in Canada, the Pacific and European regions posted negative overall returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During the Fund's fiscal year, U.S. economic growth remained solid driven by strong consumer spending. Headwinds to the market included uncertainty surrounding the presidential election, higher interest rates and slowing job growth. However, the market appeared largely unbothered by inflation remaining above the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) target as well as an expanding government budget deficit. Speculation surrounding the pace and magnitude of the Fed’s rate cuts was a primary driver of market returns.

  • Overall, most sectors added to the Fund’s positive results with communication services and information technology holdings leading the way. Likewise, returns among the Fund’s consumer discretionary and financials holdings surpassed those of the overall portfolio, contributing to relative results.

  • In terms of detractors, holdings in the energy and consumer staples sectors weighed on the Fund’s relative results.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During the Fund's fiscal year, U.S. economic growth remained solid, driven by strong consumer spending despite uncertainties of the presidential election, high interest rates and a slowing labor market. Inflation declined but stayed above the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) target. Government spending grew rapidly, partly due to federal grants. U.S. exports remained flat over the past while imports increased. Communication services and information technology were the top-returning sectors.

  • Within the Fund, most sectors added positive returns to the portfolio, with communication services, information technology and consumer discretionary holdings particularly additive. Financials and utilities companies also saw returns surpassing those of the overall portfolio.

  • Conversely, holdings in materials posted negative overall returns. Holdings in health care and real estate shares, while still positive, contributed less than the broader Fund’s overall return.

The UK economy rebounded in early 2024 but growth slowed in the three months to October. Japan saw modest growth after first-quarter contraction. China faced stagnant consumption, a property crisis and rising debt. India saw strong growth but struggled with inflation.

  • Most sectors added to the Fund’s positive returns, particularly communication services, information technology and industrials.

Geographically, holdings in companies listed in Canada and emerging markets were especially additive.

  • Investments in the energy, real estate and materials sectors were notable detractors to overall results. Likewise, the Fund’s holdings in companies based in the other Europe (outside the eurozone), Pacific ex-Japan and UK regions posted negative overall returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the year, the Fund trailed the Russell 2000 Growth Index because adverse stock selection and headwinds from style biases overshadowed positive impacts from differences in sector/sub-industry weights. From a style perspective, the Fund's underexposure to the top performing Beta and Residual Volatility factors proved costly. Stock selection was negative across most sectors, led by investments in Financials, IT, Consumer Discretionary, and Health Care.

  • Weakness in Financials was driven by Arch Capital Group Ltd., whose shares were down double digits for the year.

  • Gartner, Inc. and Guidewire Software, Inc. were mostly responsible for the relative losses in the IT sector.

  • Performance in Consumer Discretionary was hindered by declines from Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Inc. and Red Rock Resorts, Inc.

  • A handful of holdings weighed on performance in Health Care, namely IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. and Mettler-Toledo International Inc.

All of the material detractors mentioned were still held as of year-end and were among the top 30 positions. Somewhat offsetting the above were favorable impacts from active sector/sub-industry weights, particularly meaningfully higher exposure to the better performing Financials sector and lack of exposure to lagging biotechnology stocks within Health Care.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

U.S. equity markets exhibited strong performance in 2024 driven by AI excitement, rate cuts and the end of the election cycle. During the year, the U.S. Federal Reserve implemented a total of 100 basis points in rate cuts, including a 50 basis point cut in September and another 50 basis points of reductions throughout November and December. Within the Russell 1000 Value Index, the Utilities, Energy, and Information Technology sectors were the best performers.

  • The largest contributor to relative performance was stock selection in the Industrials sector.

  • The Fund's returns were also positively influenced by stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector.

  • Stock selection in the Financials sector also had a beneficial impact relative to the benchmark. Within the Russell 1000 Value Index, the Industrials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary sectors performed the worst.

  • The largest detractor was security selection in the Health Care sector.

  • Stock selection in the Consumer Staples and Information Technology sectors also detracted during the period.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Equity market performance was defined by multiple expansion, resilient growth and strong fundamentals in select market leaders. U.S. equities led, powered by stronger economic growth. Japanese equities were more volatile, European equities lagged on weak growth. Long-term U.S. Treasuries were down on stickier inflation, non-U.S. developed sovereigns were challenged and credit spreads tightened.

  • A broad overweight to equities and underweight to fixed income was additive, along with selection in consumer staples and utilities.

  • An overweight to information technology and underweight to materials and real estate positively impacted performance.

  • Within fixed income, exposure to credit, notably high yield bonds, contributed as did CMBS, to a lesser degree.

  • Stock selection in consumer discretionary, communication services and industrials detracted, as well as an energy overweight. Exposure to Japanese Index Futures to manage regional allocation weighed on returns (notably in the second half of the year). Exposure to European and U.S. rate derivatives to manage duration as well as currency management (overweight JPY) detracted.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Equity market performance was defined by multiple expansion, resilient growth and strong fundamentals in select market leaders. U.S. equities led, powered by stronger economic growth. Japanese equities were more volatile, European equities lagged on weak growth. Long-term U.S. Treasuries were down on stickier inflation, non-U.S. developed sovereigns were challenged and credit spreads tightened.

  • A broad overweight to equities and underweight to fixed income was additive, along with selection in consumer staples and utilities.

  • An overweight to information technology and underweight to materials and real estate positively impacted performance.

  • Within fixed income, exposure to credit, notably high yield bonds, contributed as did CMBS, to a lesser degree.

  • Stock selection in consumer discretionary, communication services and industrials detracted, as well as an energy overweight. Exposure to Japanese Index Futures to manage regional allocation weighed on returns (notably in the second half of the year). Exposure to European and U.S. rate derivatives to manage duration as well as currency management (overweight JPY) detracted.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The U.S. equity market experienced a steady rally with the S&P 500 Index reaching all-time-highs (ATH) 57 times throughout the year. The U.S. Federal Reserve began the easing cycle in September and the credit market remained strong all year. Emerging market and developed non-US equity performance was modestly positive in 2024, even after the fourth quarter sell-off.

  • In 2024 the Fund's performance was driven by broad U.S. large-cap equities, with IVV being the largest contributor to return. The U.S. Min Vol strategy also performed well, and was the second largest contributor to return. Mid-cap and small-cap U.S. equities had positive returns but underperformed U.S. large-cap, even after the summer's small-cap rally.

  • The lowest contributors to performance in 2024 were mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury and U.S. investment grade although all contributed positively.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Emerging market and developed non-US equity performance was modestly positive in 2024, even after the fourth quarter sell-off.

  • In 2024 the Fund's performance was driven by broad U.S. large-cap equities, with IVV being the largest contributor to return. The U.S. Min Vol strategy also performed well, and was the second largest contributor to return. Mid-cap and small-cap U.S. equities had positive returns but underperformed U.S. large-cap, even after the summer's small-cap rally.

  • The lowest contributors to performance in 2024 were mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury and U.S. investment grade although all contributed positively.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The performance of the Fund and its underlying funds was impacted by varied market conditions during 2024, most notably the large shifts in the US political landscape and the steady decline in inflationary pressures following historically high levels in 2020.

  • During 2024, the Fund's overweight position in rental-linked securities contributed most positively to performance, as increasing rental prices and a broad positive risk sentiment led to ongoing strong performance across 2024.

  • The Fund's overweight position in agency MBS positively contributed performance, as the U.S. Federal Reserve cut rates twice in the fourth quarter.

  • The Fund's long position in EU and UK rates detracted from performance, as spreads widened across the regions.

  • The Fund's position in emerging market debt also detracted from performance, as ongoing fiscal and political concerns remain heightened, causing spreads to widen over the year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund's outperformance was led predominantly by stock selection, mostly coming from the Americas region.

  • At the sector level, the Fund's underweight US Triple Net, overweight US Healthcare, and underweight Japanese REITs were top contributors.

  • The Fund's overweight allocation to Hong Kong Developers, Hong Kong REITs and UK Student Housing were top detractors.

  • On the security level, Equinix, Agree Realty, and AvalonBay Communities were top contributors.

  • Link REIT, Tritax Big Box, and Unite Group were top detractors. The year was marked by significant market activity and volatility, influenced by various macroeconomic factors and geopolitical events. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield fluctuated significantly throughout the year, and the yield movements impacted yield-sensitive sectors within the REIT market. The U.S. elections also had a profound impact on the REIT sectors, with Lodging REITs outperforming following the election results and expectations of higher inflation. Retail REITs benefited from strong third-quarter leasing results and a major acquisition in the sector. Office REITs saw better-than-expected leasing updates during the conference season in September, while Self-Storage and Industrial REITs lagged due to negative sentiment around the declining housing market and potential for higher rates. Derivatives, specifically FX forwards, were used to hedge FX exposure relative to the benchmark.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During 2024, the U.S. equity market experienced a steady rally with the S&P 500 Index reaching all-time-highs (ATH) 57 times throughout the year. The U.S. Fed began the easing cycle in the summer and the credit market remained strong all year.

  • In 2024 the Fund's performance was driven by broad U.S. large-cap equities, with IVV being the largest contributor to return. The U.S. Min Vol strategy also performed well, and was the second largest contributor to return. Mid-cap and small-cap U.S. equities had positive returns but underperformed U.S. large-cap, even after the September small-cap rally.

  • The lowest contributors to performance in 2024 were mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury and U.S. investment grade although all contributed positively.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a positive impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

This Fund invests predominantly in large cap stocks. The Fund has exposure to both growth and quality factors through allocations to multiple strategies, with the resulting portfolio having a bias toward quality growth stocks.

  • During calendar year 2024, underweight allocations to lower quality and/or more cyclically oriented equities generally detracted from benchmark relative returns amid declining interest rates and strong market index appreciation.

  • The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a slightly negative impact on relative performance in 2024 due to the volatility spike and V-shaped market in the summer.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

This Fund invests predominantly in mid cap growth stocks that are high quality yet offer above average growth potential.

  • During calendar year 2024, underweight allocations to lower quality and/or more cyclically oriented equities generally detracted from benchmark relative returns amid declining interest rates and strong market index appreciation.

  • The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The performance of the Fund was driven by a market that favored stocks with higher market capitalizations, growth and profitability as investors adjusted to a more protracted easing cycle by the U.S. Federal Reserve. While both sector allocation and stock selection were positive for the year, performance was primarily driven by stock selection. The top 3 contributing sectors to relative performance via stock selection were Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary.

  • The highest contributing names, respectively, were Evercore, Integer Holdings and OneSpaWorld. The 3 sectors that detracted the most to relative performance were Communication Services, Consumer Staples, and Information Technology

  • The largest individual detractors respectively were NextStar Media, Darling Ingredients (sold) and IPG Photonics (sold). The Fund's focus on high quality companies with significant intrinsic value coupled with strong earnings results relative to expectations drove outperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund posted a double-digit positive absolute return for 2024, but underperformed the S&P 500 Index. U.S. economy, declining inflation, continued enthusiasm for AI and a U.S. Federal Reserve pivot to cutting interest rates drove equities higher. Strong returns for AI-stocks in the first half of the year broadened to also include cyclical financials, industrials and utilities. At year-end investors focused on market turbulence due to elevated valuations and policy change with the new administration. Both stock selection and sector allocation decisions negatively impacted relative returns.

  • The largest detractor from relative returns was stock selection, especially in the Health Care sector.

  • Sector allocation decisions also detracted, due primarily to an overweight to the Materials sector.

  • Underweights to Tesla, Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc., both benchmark outperformers, detracted from relative performance.

  • The largest contributor to relative returns was stock selection in the Utilities, Consumer Staples and Materials sectors.

  • Holding AppLovin Corp., not included in the S&P 500 Index, was the leading security-level contributor to relative performance.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The LVIP Dimensional International Equity Managed Volatility Fund predominately invests in non-U.S. developed market equities, with a bias towards smaller sized companies, value-oriented stocks, and companies with higher profitability relative to its market cap weighted benchmark.

  • During the calendar year 2024, the equity sleeve’s bias towards small cap stocks and lessor exposure to emerging markets stocks, which outperformed their developed market counterparts, detracted from relative performance versus the benchmark.

  • Conversely, a bias towards value-oriented stocks benefitted relative performance, as value stocks outperformed growth stocks during the period.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The U.S. premium environment was mixed for the year with small cap stocks underperforming large cap stocks and value stocks underperforming growth stocks, while high profitability stocks outperformed their low profitability counterparts overall. At the Fund level, the Fund underperformed the Russell 3000 Index for the one-year period.

  • The Fund's emphasis on stocks with smaller market capitalizations was the primary driver of underperformance.

  • The Fund's emphasis on value stocks also detracted from relative performance. Conversely, the Fund's exclusion of REITs contributed positively to relative performance as REITs underperformed the Russell 3000 Index.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The U.S. premium environment was mixed for the year with small cap stocks underperforming large cap stocks and value stocks underperforming growth stocks, while high profitability stocks outperformed their low profitability counterparts overall. At the Fund level, the Fund underperformed the Russell 3000 Index for the one-year period.

  • The Fund's emphasis on stocks with smaller market capitalizations was the primary driver of underperformance.

  • The Fund's emphasis on value stocks also detracted from relative performance. Conversely, the Fund's exclusion of REITs contributed positively to relative performance as REITs underperformed the Russell 3000 Index.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund invests in U.S. equities, with a bias towards smaller cap and value-oriented companies relative to its market cap weighted benchmark.

  • During calendar year 2024, exposure to value-oriented and smaller cap securities generally detracted from relative returns.

  • The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

This Fund invests predominantly in large cap stocks. The Fund has exposure to both growth and value factors through allocations to multiple strategies, with the resulting portfolio having a bias towards growth relative to its benchmark.

  • During calendar year 2024, exposure to growth-oriented equities generally contributed to relative returns, while exposure to value-oriented equities generally detracted from relative returns.

  • The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a slightly negative impact on relative performance in 2024, as the broad market index futures lagged growth style in the underlying fund.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund posted a strong double digit return, but underperformed the MSCI World Index. Stock selection, sector allocation and regional decisions all negatively impacted relative return. The largest detractor from relative return was stock selection in the U.S., especially in Information Technology. Stock selection also detracted in the Consumer Discretionary sector, but added value in Industrials, Financials and Real Estate. Outperformance of the Information Technology in the MSCI World Index was a major headwind as the Fund was underweight the sector.

  • From a security perspective, underweighting NVIDIA, Meta and Tesla, all significant outperformers in the MSCI World Index for the year, were major detractors from relative return.

  • From a regional allocation perspective, overweighting Europe detracted while underweighting Australia, New Zealand and Canada added value.

  • Owning Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., which is not in the MSCI World Index, was the leading security level contributor.

  • Overweighting Hitachi Ltd. and Delta Airlines Inc. also added value as all three had above benchmark returns.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a positive impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index. The consumer discretionary, consumer staples and industrials sectors were the largest contributors to relative results, due mainly to stock selection. In contrast, security selection in the materials and health care sectors detracted, as did an overweight to materials.

  • The largest individual relative contributors during the period were overweight allocations to UK-based global bank Barclays and British private equity and venture capital company 3i Group, and an underweight allocation to Swiss food conglomerate Nestle.

  • The largest individual detractors from relative performance during the period were overweight allocations to Australian metal and mining companies Fortescue and BHP Group, and an underweight in German software company SAP.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During the period, the Fund outperformed the Russell 2000® Index due to stock selection and sector allocations. Security selection in the utilities, financials and consumer discretionary sectors strengthened relative performance. In contrast, stock selection in the information technology (IT) and materials sectors weighed on results. On an allocation basis, an overweight in IT and underweight in energy contributed, while a health care overweight detracted.

  • The largest individual contributors to returns were off-benchmark allocations to electricity power and generation company Vistra, healthcare testing company Natera and mechanical and electrical construction company EMCOR Group.

  • The largest individual detractors from returns during the period were underweight allocations to aerospace company FTAI Aviation and aerospace manufacturer Rocket Lab, as well as an off-benchmark allocation to steel producer United States Steel Corporation.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The LVIP Global Conservative Allocation Managed Risk Fund operates in a fund of funds structure and is designed to give broad exposure to global equities and fixed income securities by investing in a combination of actively managed, passive index and multi-factor funds.

  • During 2024, the performance of the Fund was primarily driven by the Fund’s asset allocation and its underlying holdings. The Fund outperformed the Fund’s composite benchmark for the year.

  • Equity allocations to actively managed large and mid-cap growth funds generally contributed positively to performance. Conversely, equity allocations to actively managed value-oriented funds generally detracted from returns.

  • Within fixed income, allocations to high yield bonds contributed to returns as they outperformed the fixed income index component of the Fund’s composite benchmark.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a positive impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The LVIP Global Growth Allocation Managed Risk Fund operates in a fund of funds structure and is designed to give broad exposure to global equities and fixed income securities by investing in a combination of actively managed, passive index and multi-factor funds.

  • During 2024, the performance of the Fund was primarily driven by the Fund’s asset allocation and its underlying holdings. The Fund performed in-line with its composite benchmark for the year.

  • Equity allocations to actively managed large and mid-cap growth funds generally contributed positively to performance. Conversely, equity allocations to actively managed value-oriented funds generally detracted from returns.

  • Within fixed income, allocations to high yield bonds contributed to returns as they outperformed the fixed income index component of the Fund’s composite benchmark.

The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Strong equity market returns contributed most to Fund results throughout the year. The sectors with the largest absolute contribution were financials, industrials, and materials. Conversely, the healthcare sector provided the lowest contribution. Stock selection within the information technology and consumer discretionary was especially beneficially to relative results.

  • At a security level, Wells Fargo, Walmart, Philip Morris International, Parker-Hannifin and JPMorgan Chase were among top contributors. Stock selection within the industrials and energy sectors was amongst the top relative detractor from Fund returns.

  • At a security level, Intel, CVS Health, Microchip Technology, ConocoPhillips and Humana were the largest detractors. Fixed income was a key detractor to performance versus the Funds composite benchmark. Given a strong equity market, investment grade bonds materially underperformed the benchmark and detracted from relative performance. Currency forward contracts are held for the purpose of hedging currency exposure of non-US-based companies in the portfolio. These derivatives are not used for speculative purposes or leverage.

  • The currency forward contracts held had a small positive impact on the Fund’s relative performance for the year. The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Strong equity market returns contributed most to Fund results throughout the year. The sectors with the largest absolute contribution were financials, industrials, and materials. Conversely, the healthcare sector provided the lowest contribution. Stock selection within the information technology and consumer discretionary was especially beneficially to relative results.

  • At a security level, Wells Fargo, Walmart, Philip Morris International, Parker-Hannifin and JPMorgan Chase were among top contributors. Stock selection within the industrials and energy sectors was amongst the top relative detractor from Fund returns.

  • At a security level, Intel, CVS Health, Microchip Technology, ConocoPhillips and Humana were the largest detractors. Fixed income was a key detractor to performance versus the Funds composite benchmark. Given a strong equity market, investment grade bonds materially underperformed the benchmark and detracted from relative performance. Currency forward contracts are held for the purpose of hedging currency exposure of non-US-based companies in the portfolio. These derivatives are not used for speculative purposes or leverage.

  • The currency forward contracts held had a small positive impact on the Fund’s relative performance for the year. The Fund utilizes a risk management overlay strategy to manage portfolio volatility, which had a neutral impact on relative performance in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

  • During 2024, security selection, specifically in Investment Grade Credit and securitized sectors drove outperformance.

  • Conversely, duration and curve positioning was a slight draw on performance.

  • Sector allocations within the Fund were positive to overall Fund returns in 2024. The Fund's underweight to Treasuries and overweight to securitized credit (non-agency MBS, CMBS, and ABS) contributed to outperformance.

  • The Fund's underweight to Credit detracted from performance over the year. Treasury futures are used in the Fund for duration and yield curve management.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During the first half of 2024, U.S. high yield spreads tightened and yields rose modestly, absorbing half the U.S. Treasuries' rise, generating near-carry returns. During the second half of 2024, U.S. high yield returns accelerated as lower-quality issuers improved fundamentals, boosting demand with increased risk appetite. New issuance surpassed 2022-2023 combined, defaults stayed below 1%, and demand outpaced supply despite tight spreads.

  • The Fund underperformed due to an overweight in Pharmaceuticals and strong security selection in Wirelines and Cable Satellite. Bausch Health's bonds surged after announcing the sale of Bausch & Lomb, a move better for creditors than a spin-off, increasing prices CommScope's bonds rose after announcing refinancing to address near-term maturities, with management giving positive long-term guidance.

  • The Fund was negatively impacted by security selection in Retailers and Chemicals sectors alongside an overweight to the Automotive sector. An overweight in Venator Materials led underperformance as 2023 restructuring followed rising gas prices & weak demand, persisting in 2024.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

During the first half of 2024, U.S. high yield spreads tightened and yields rose modestly, absorbing half the U.S. Treasuries' rise, generating near-carry returns. During the second half of 2024, U.S. high yield returns accelerated as lower-quality issuers improved fundamentals, boosting demand with increased risk appetite. New issuance surpassed 2022-2023 combined, defaults stayed below 1%, and demand outpaced supply despite tight spreads.

  • The Fund underperformed due to an overweight in Pharmaceuticals and strong security selection in Wirelines and Cable Satellite. Bausch Health's bonds surged after announcing the sale of Bausch & Lomb, a move better for creditors than a spin-off, increasing prices CommScope's bonds rose after announcing refinancing to address near-term maturities, with management giving positive long-term guidance.

  • The Fund was negatively impacted by security selection in Retailers and Chemicals sectors alongside an overweight to the Automotive sector. An overweight in Venator Materials led underperformance as 2023 restructuring followed rising gas prices & weak demand, persisting in 2024.
