Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

While the S&P 500 Index reached new highs throughout 2024, there were new reasons which led to seeing improving market breadth. In fact, for the first time since 2022, the broad market saw positive year-over-year earnings growth in the second and third quarters.

 

Stock selection in financials and materials sectors contributed to performance, while stock selection in industrials and utilities sectors detracted from performance.

  • Within financials, an emphasis on quality proved to be a bright spot with Ameriprise (AMP) being a top contributor.

  • Within technology, GoDaddy (GDDY), a website builder, contributed to relative results.

  • A conservative posture and underweight to industrials was a headwind.

  • Additionally, the Fund's position in Lincoln Electric (LECO) hurt performance given it was impacted by a slowdown in electric vehicle sales. Improving fundamentals, and yet still attractive valuations, led financials to remain the largest absolute and relative weight.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

2024 was another impressive year for risk assets. The S&P 500 Index led equity markets, driven by AI excitement, U.S. exceptionalism and economic momentum broadened earnings expectations.

 

U.S. mega cap tech led global growth stocks, while post-election deregulation prospects boosted financials, lifting global value stocks. Resilient growth and sticky inflation delayed rate cut expectations, particularly in the U.S. Combination of a strengthening dollar and rising yields meant global investment grade bonds delivered negative returns over the year.

 

In fixed income, high yield bonds were the top performing asset class for the fourth year in a row as a combination of high all-in yields and tightening spreads boosted returns to over 8%. The high starting yield did partially cushion U.S. Treasuries which still delivered positive returns of 0.6% over the year.

  • The underlying JPM Core Bond Fund was the top contributor and JPM Global Select Equity Fund detracted the most from performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

While the S&P reached new highs throughout 2024, there were new reasons which led us to finally see improving market breadth. In fact, for the first time since 2022, the broad market saw positive year-over-year earnings growth in the second and third quarters.

  • Stock selection in financials and consumer staples sectors contributed to performance, while stock selection in industrials and real estate sectors detracted.

  • Within financials, an emphasis on quality proved to be a bright spot with Ameriprise (AMP) being a top contributor.

  • Within technology, GoDaddy (GDDY), a website builder, contributed to relative results.

  • A conservative posture and underweight to industrials was a headwind.

  • Additionally, the Fund's position in Lincoln Electric (LECO) hurt performance given it was impacted by a slowdown in electric vehicle sales. Improving fundamentals, and yet still attractive valuations, led financials to remain the largest absolute and relative weight. 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?

While the S&P reached new highs throughout 2024, there were new reasons which led us to finally see improving market breadth. In fact, for the first time since 2022, the broad market saw positive year-over-year earnings growth in the second and third quarters.

  • Stock selection in financials and consumer staples sectors contributed to performance, while stock selection in industrials and real estate sectors detracted.

  • Within financials, an emphasis on quality proved to be a bright spot with Ameriprise (AMP) being a top contributor.

  • Within technology, GoDaddy (GDDY), a website builder, contributed to relative results.

  • A conservative posture and underweight to industrials was a headwind.

  • Additionally, the Fund's position in Lincoln Electric (LECO) hurt performance given it was impacted by a slowdown in electric vehicle sales. Improving fundamentals, and yet still attractive valuations, led financials to remain the largest absolute and relative weight. 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?

Stock selection in the systems hardware and software and services sector contributed to performance. Conversely, stock selection in the pharmaceutical and basic materials sector detracted.

  • Overweights in Super Micro Computer** and Rigetti Computing contributed to results.

  • An overweight in Atkore International and an underweight in FTAI Aviation detracted from results.

The Fund continues to focus on fundamentals of the economy and company earnings. The Fund focuses on high-conviction stocks and exploits market dislocations for compelling stock selection opportunities  amid market volatility. The Fund may hold a small futures position (under 5%) to equitize excess cash. These positions had minimal impact on performance.

 

**Please note that as of December 2024, the Fund no longer holds Super Micro Computers.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

Communication services and information technology were the best-performing sectors, with materials being the only negative sector.

  • Within the Fund, stock selection within pharma/medical tech, retail and utilities sectors detracted from performance.

  • Alternatively, stock selection within semiconductors & hardware, media and commodities contributed to results.

  • On the negative side, being underweight in Broadcom (AVGO) detracted from performance, as strong AI demand and VMware integration drove stock growth. Broadcom saw revenue and margin improvements, highlighted by a VMware acquisition and a 5G deal with Apple.

  • Additionally, the Fund's overweight in Regeneron (REGN) detracted due to competitive pressures and legal challenges

  • Potential Amgen biosimilar competition and issues related to the False Claims Act weighed on investor sentiment.

  • On the positive side, the Fund's overweight in Nvidia (NVDA) helped performance, driven by record revenues and strong growth in data center and gaming sectors. Key AI advancements and strategic investments have strengthened Nvidia's competitive position in the growing AI market. The Fund used index futures for cash management purposes during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund utilizes a long-term, private equity approach to investing. Through a proprietary bottom-up research framework the Fund looks to invest in those few high-quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and profitable growth when they trade at a significant discount to intrinsic value. Given the rare confluence of quality, growth, and valuation, the Fund is a selective, high-conviction portfolio of typically 30-45 names.

  • The Fund’s positions in Meta Platforms, Tesla, and Netflix contributed the most to performance. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary, communication services, and healthcare sectors, along with allocations in the communication services, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and industrials sectors, contributed positively to relative performance.

  • The Fund’s positions in Boeing, Ambev, and CRISPR Therapeutics detracted the most from performance. Stock selection in the industrials, consumer staples, financials, and information technology sectors, along with allocations in the information technology, healthcare, and financials sectors, detracted from relative performance.

The Fund's philosophy requires patience in order to take advantage of meaningful price dislocations if and when they occur. During the period, the Fund initiated a new position in LVMH, and added to positions in Boeing, Roche, Shopify and Vertex. The Fund trimmed positions in Doximity, Tesla, and Trip.com to finance the purchases. The Fund trimmed Meta because it reached its maximum allowable position size. The Fund also sold positions in Sandoz and Pluxee, received as part of corporate actions.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The U.S. fixed income markets had positive returns over 2024 driven by the U.S. Federal Reserve initiating their long awaited easing cycle. Continued strength in the U.S. economy, and clarity around policy that emerged following the US general elections in November that returned unified control to the Republicans contributed to the positive momentum.

  • The Fund outperformed its benchmark, with performance driven by sector allocation and security selection within Corporates including both high yield and investment grade, sector allocation to and security selection within Securitized Assets especially within CMBS and RMBS with some contribution from ABS and CLOs, and sector allocations to and security selection to Bank Loans and Emerging Markets.

  •  Duration and curve positioning detracted from performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The U.S. fixed income markets had positive returns over 2024 driven by the U.S. Federal Reserve initiating their long awaited easing cycle. Continued strength in the U.S. economy, and clarity around policy that emerged following the U.S. general elections in November that returned unified control to the Republicans contributed to the positive momentum.

  • The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, with performance driven by sector allocation to and security selection within Securitized Assets especially within CMBS, RMBS, and ABS with some contribution from CLOs, sector allocation and security selection within Corporates including both high yield and investment grade, and sector allocations to and security selection to Bank Loans and Government-related were also positive contributors.

  • Duration positioning detracted from performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund underperformed the ICE BofA US High Yield Constrained Index. Despite occasional bouts of volatility, the year was marked by strong market returns and tighter credit spreads driven by supportive economic data, solid corporate fundamentals, the commencement of U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts, and U.S. election certainty. CCC securities were the strongest performers during the year, followed by Bs and then BBs.

  • By rating category, the Fund's relative underperformance was driven by CCCs and BBs which more than offset outperformance from Bs.

  • The primary sectors contributing positively to Fund's relative performance were basic industry, insurance, and telecommunications. Security selection within all three sectors was the main driver of their relative outperformance.

  • The primary sectors detracting from the Fund's relative performance were media, real estate, and retail. Security selection within all three sectors was the main driver of their relative underperformance due to a combination of secular and cyclical challenges.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The U.S. fixed income markets had positive returns over 2024 driven by the U.S. Federal Reserve initiating their long awaited easing cycle. Continued strength in the U.S. economy, and clarity around policy that emerged following the U.S. general elections in November that returned unified control to the Republicans contributed to the positive momentum.

  • The Fund underperformed its benchmark, with performance driven by sector allocation to and security selection within Securitized Assets especially within ABS, RMBS, CLOs with contribution from CMBS, sector allocation and security selection within high yield Corporates, and sector allocation to and security selection to Emerging Markets.

  • Allocation to Government-related was a detractor.

  • Curve positioning was also a detractor.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

During 2024, growth companies outperformed value companies and large caps outperformed small caps. In mid cap value equities, most sectors in the benchmark had positive returns with the Financials, Utilities, Energy, and Industrials sectors performing the best. The Fund outperformed the benchmark in 2024 with positive stock selection contributing to outperformance. Holdings in the Consumer Staples sector outperformed, specifically positions in the food distributors and packaged foods industries.

  • The Fund’s holdings in the Utilities sector generated the strongest total return. Utilities companies have benefited from an increased demand for power generation.

  • Strong stock selection in addition to an overweight allocation to companies in the Financials sector contributed over the period.

  • Holdings in the banks and insurance industries contributed. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector also contributed.

  • Hotel and cruise line companies outperformed, and the Fund benefited from not owning casinos or gaming companies.

  • On a relative basis, stock selection detracted in the Energy and Industrials sectors. The Fund’s holdings in the oil, gas, and consumable fuels industry lagged the benchmark.

  • Stock selection in the Industrials sector was weak as holdings in the electrical equipment industry underperformed.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund outperformed the Russell 2500 Index, which was up 12.00% in 2024. The growth style outperformed the value style by a meaningful amount throughout the year. Finance, technology, and capital goods contributed most to index returns.

  • Stock selection was the main driver of relative outperformance. Selection was strongest in the health care, consumer services, and finance sectors. Restaurant operator, Brinker International, Inc., was the top overall contributor to performance.

  • Weaker stock selection in the capital goods and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from relative performance.

  • Sector allocations detracted from relative performance, as underweight allocations to utilities, capital goods, and finance sectors detracted. An overweight allocation to health care also detracted from relative performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund trailed the Russell 1000 Index, which was up 24.51% in 2024. The growth style outperformed the value style by a meaningful amount throughout the year, with the information technology sector contributed over half of the index's return.

  • Stock selection was the main driver of relative underperformance for the year. Selection detracted most in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors. Five Below, Inc. was the top detractor in the consumer discretionary sector. DexCom, Inc. detracted most from results in health care.

  • Stock selection was strongest in the consumer services and capital goods sectors. Stock selection was mixed in the information technology sector. Broadcom Inc. was the top overall contributor, while On Semiconductor Corporation and MongoDB, Inc. detracted. An underweight allocation to NVIDIA also hurt relative performance in the information technology sector.

  • Sector allocations generally detracted from relative performance, as overweight allocations to health care, transportation, and capital goods sectors detracted.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth index for calendar year 2024. The performance of U.S. mega cap technology stocks drove markets higher in 2024 and particularly benefitted  the relative outperformance of growth.

  • Within the Fund, outperformance was predominantly driven by strong asset allocation. From a sector perspective, overweight positions in Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary were top contributors. Not holding any Real Estate or Materials names also contributed to relative performance.

  • Within the Communication Services sector, the leading contributor from a stock perspective was an overweight holding in Spotify Technology. The media streaming provider demonstrated a remarkable turnaround in 2024 by successfully re-accelerating its revenue growth through strategic price increases across major markets.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund outperformed the FTSE Nareit Equity REITs index for calendar year 2024. REITs benefitted from several tailwinds in 2024, primarily the move towards a "normalization" of rates. Within the Fund, relative performance was driven by strong stock selection, while asset allocation slightly detracted. At the sector level, overweight allocations to Specialty and Shopping Centres contributed positively to relative performance. Underweight allocations to Industrials and Office also contributed positively, as the sectors experienced some weakness over the year.

  • An overweight position in Lodging was a key detractor from relative performance, while an underweight allocation to Health Care also detracted. Stocks held in the Specialty sector which outperformed include Iron Mountain, Inc., and Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc.

  • Iron Mountain, Inc. outperformed on investor optimism around the company's strategy to supplement its storage segment revenue with expansion in faster-growing businesses, most notable being the data centre segment.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund underperformed its benchmark in 2024. Narrow market leadership and investors' strong preference for growth stocks and speculative assets created a challenging backdrop for the Fund's traditional value investing approach. In addition, notably weak performance among some of the Fund’s holdings in the consumer staples and healthcare sectors helped drive the performance shortfall.

  • In the consumer staples sector, the Fund’s holdings in the food products and consumer staples distribution and retail industries underperformed those in the benchmark. In the healthcare sector, holdings in the healthcare equipment and supplies and healthcare providers and services industries in particular were laggards relative to those in benchmark. In addition, the Fund's underweight allocation in the financials sector was a notable detractor to relative performance.

  • The Fund’s holdings in the information technology sector outperformed the sector in the benchmark, specifically positions in the software and communications equipment industries. In the real estate sector, the Fund’s residential real estate investment trust (REIT) holding outperformed the sector more broadly, benefiting from ongoing demand for rental apartments. An underweight allocation in the materials sector, the weakest performing sector in the benchmark, contributed to relative performance.

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 exposures was impacted by varied market conditions during 2024, most notably the dispersion of returns between growth and value styles and the rising interest rate environment.

  • During 2024, equity allocations to growth-oriented equities generally contributed positively to performance.

  • Conversely, equity allocations to U.S. REITs, U.S. Value, and international, while also contributing to absolute performance, underperformed the equity index within the composite benchmark for the year, hence detracted from relative performance.

  • Despite the rising yield environment, the fixed income allocation within the Fund contributed positively to overall Fund returns in 2024. Allocations to investment grade corporates and agency mortgage-backed securities outperformed the fixed income index component of the Fund's composite benchmark and contributed positively to performance, however, Treasuries detracted from returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The LVIP Multi-Manager International Equity Managed Volatility Fund invests in underlying funds that primarily invest in non-U.S. developed market stocks. The Fund is constructed of an equity sleeve consisting of 60% allocation to LVIP MFS International Growth Fund, 30% allocation to LVIP Dimensional International Core Fund, and 10% allocation LVIP Franklin Templeton Multi-Factor International Equity Fund, as well as a risk overlay sleeve.

  • During the calendar year 2024, the equity sleeve benefitted from positive security selection within the Industrials and information technology sectors.

  • Additionally, a modest out-of-benchmark allocation to U.S. stocks was additive to relative returns as U.S. outperformed its international developed counterparts during 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?

On aggregate, position weightings (i.e., security selection) relative to the MSCI EAFE Growth Index contributed to relative returns. During the reporting period, the Fund's relative currency exposure, resulting primarily from differences between the Fund's and the benchmark's exposures to holdings of securities denominated in foreign currencies, was a contributor to relative performance.

 

Contributors to Performance

  • On aggregate, sector allocation detracted from relative returns. Contributors - Security selection in the industrials, information technology and materials sectors contributed to relative returns.

  • Security selection and an underweight position in the health care sector also supported relative performance.

  • Individual holdings: Overweight positions in Hitachi and SAP and holding Taiwan Semiconductor.

Detractors from Performance

  • A combination of security selection and an overweight allocation to the consumer staples sector detracted from relative returns.

  • Stock selection in the financials sector also detracted from relative results.

  • Individual holdings: Overweight positions in Heineken and Pernod Ricard and not owning Recruit.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund underperformed the 50% hedged benchmark in 2024. Fixed income and currency markets were struck by intense volatility in the final quarter of 2024. Bond yields rose significantly across developed markets and currencies fell sharply against the U.S. dollar.

  • Currency was the principal drag on performance, with the underweight to the U.S. dollar and overweight to select international currencies, particularly the Japanese yen, detracting.

  • The U.S. dollar is extremely overvalued according to the sub-adviser's currency valuations, and the Fund is therefore underweight. Its sharp appreciation in the final quarter of 2024 was a painful drag on performance but only adds to the sub-adviser's conviction of dollar overvaluation.

  • The underweight to the euro and overweight to the Malaysian ringgit were beneficial to performance over the year.

  • The overweight to the New Zealand bond market was also positive.

  • The modest overweight to duration at the portfolio level detracted from performance, particularly the long US bond position.

  • The off-benchmark position in euro-denominated credit was a modest positive.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund underperformed the 50% hedged benchmark in 2024. Fixed income and currency markets were struck by intense volatility in the final quarter of 2024. Bond yields rose significantly across developed markets and currencies fell sharply against the U.S. dollar.

  • Currency was the principal drag on performance, with the underweight to the U.S. dollar and overweight to select international currencies, particularly the Japanese yen, detracting.

  • The U.S. dollar is extremely overvalued according to the sub-adviser's currency valuations, and the Fund is therefore underweight. Its sharp appreciation in the final quarter of 2024 was a painful drag on performance but only adds to the sub-adviser's conviction of dollar overvaluation.

  • The underweight to the euro and overweight to the Malaysian ringgit were beneficial to performance over the year.

  • The overweight to the New Zealand bond market was also positive.

  • The modest overweight to duration at the portfolio level detracted from performance, particularly the long US bond position.

  • The off-benchmark position in euro-denominated credit was a modest positive.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

Equity markets rallied in 2024 on prospects of a soft landing for the global economy as inflation eased. However, weaker international currencies detracted from U.S, dollar returns as a Republican election sweep drove broad-based gains for the U.S. dollar. The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index in 2024.

  • The overweight position in Singapore, exposure to Taiwan, and lack of exposure to Denmark added to relative returns. In Singapore, United Overseas Bank was strong on encouraging prospects for additional shareholder returns after their core equity tier 1 capital was revised sharply upwards following the incorporation of new Basel IV requirements.

  • Strong stock selection in the consumer staples sector also added to relative returns as Imperial Brands, the UK tobacco company, delivered strong results driven by continued market share gains and attractive cash returns to shareholders.

  • This was partially offset by stock selection in France where Kering, the French luxury goods company, is undergoing a brand transformation at its largest design house, Gucci. The broader luxury goods segment underperformed on Chinese consumer weakness.

  • The underweight position in the strong financials sector and stock selection in industrials detracted from relative returns.

  • The positive impact from the overweight positions in the relatively strong British pound and pegged Hong Kong dollar more than offset the overweight in the weak Japanese yen.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

Macroeconomic conditions delayed the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) first rate cut to September, with subsequent cuts in November and December. Bonds delivered positive returns despite a reset higher in yields.

  • Spread sectors largely contributed to performance, driven by tactical allocations to securitized and investment grade corporate credit.

  • Within securitized, high-quality ABS, CMBS, and CLOs served as attractive, diversifying sources of yield.

  • Investment grade corporate credit contributed to performance as spreads tightened.

  • Within rates, U.S. curve positioning contributed to performance while exposure to duration in UK detracted.

  • Within currency strategies, an overweight to the U.S. dollar contributed to performance but was offset by exposure to the Japanese Yen. Derivatives in the Fund were instrumental in attaining specific exposures targeted to gain from anticipated market developments. The Fund’s exposure to interest rates was partly facilitated through the use of interest rate swaps, futures, and swaptions. The Fund utilized credit default swaps to manage credit beta. Currency positioning was partly achieved through currency forward agreements.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund underperformed the benchmark. As this is an indexed fund, factors that affected markets also affected the Fund’s performance. The main macroeconomic factor that contributed to Fund performance was the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed)'s rate cut decision and positive corporate sentiment. The Fed gained more confidence in combating inflation and believes to have averted a recession. The economy is in a good standing. As a result, the market continued to experience spread compression, supported by easing growth concerns and strong fundamentals.

  • Security mis-weights resulting from the Fund's sampling process and differences in yield curve positioning contributed to performance.

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

Emerging market stocks ended year 2024 with positive returns which was driven by tech stocks. The Fourth quarter of year 2024 is the only quarter in the year that had negative returns. Brazilian equities performed the worst, with the local currency weakening amid growing concerns over the country’s fiscal outlook. South Korea also faced losses due to political instability, as both the president and acting president were impeached in December.

  • The Fund slightly underperformed the index for the year primarily due to negative Indian capital gain tax.

  • The Fund utilizes correlating index futures to equitize dividend receivables and for cash management purposes.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

Fund performance was driven by numerous factors that influenced markets. The disinflation narrative was challenged early while strong economic data in the U.S. and geopolitical events took center stage frequently. Elsewhere, central banks began cutting rates, but investors frequently adjusted expectations which caused significant moves in bond markets.

  • The Fund maintained an overweight to U.S. equities throughout 2024 that contributed positively to returns.

  • Better economic health, a resolute November election outcome and impacts from the strong tech sector all proved to be signs/ indicators of U.S. exceptionalism and propelled U.S. equities higher.

  • Gold was another conviction overweight in the Fund. The asset class has been supported by technical and fundamental factors in our quantitative framework, and finished up strongly with best annual return since 2010.

  • Successive rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve along with higher yield did not provide enough sentiment boost to U.S. small-cap companies and detracted from the Fund's performance in 2024.

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?

Fund performance was driven by numerous factors that influenced markets. The disinflation narrative was challenged early while strong economic data in the U.S. and geopolitical events took center stage frequently. Elsewhere, central banks began cutting rates, but investors frequently adjusted expectations which caused significant moves in bond markets.

  • The Fund maintained an overweight to U.S. equities throughout 2024 that contributed positively to returns.

  • Better economic health, a resolute November election outcome and impacts from the strong tech sector all proved to be signs/ indicators of U.S. exceptionalism and propelled U.S. equities higher.

  • Gold was another conviction overweight in the Fund. The asset class has been supported by technical and fundamental factors in our quantitative framework, and finished up strongly with best annual return since 2010.

  • Successive rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve along with higher yield did not provide enough sentiment boost to U.S. small-cap companies and detracted from the Fund's performance in 2024.

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?

Equities witnessed a very strong start to the year as the 'everything rally' that began in October 2023 continued in early 2024. Second quarter 2024 saw favorable performance from risk assets, driven by solid earnings, resilient economy, and favorable inflation data. The global economy showed signs of resilience in the third quarter of 2024, with growth in the services sector offsetting weakness in manufacturing. Although global business activity continued to expand in September, the rate of expansion slowed. The fourth quarter posted three months of negative returns. Inflation ticked higher in major developed economies, sitting above central bank targets, while unemployment rate remained at or near historical lows.

  • The top performing sectors were: Financials, Communication Services, and Industrials.

  • The bottom three sectors were: Energy, Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

Performance of the Fund was driven by interest rate cuts, easing inflation, and a strengthening U.S. economy.

  • The strongest performing sectors were the Financial, Industrial, and Information Technology sectors generating solid double digit performance.

  • The Material sector was the only sector generating negative performance, however, the contribution to return from the Communication Services and Health Care sectors was minimal.

  • Fees and expenses, cash drag, proceeds from class actions, and the cumulative effect of security misweights contributed to the difference between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index.

The Fund used futures in order to gain market exposure for the cash (and dividend receivables) that help facilitate redemption activity.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund invests in 100 of the largest non-financial companies U.S. stocks listed on the Nasdaq exchange. The Fund has a high allocation to these sectors: Information Technology (IT), Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary. The Fund also has relatively high exposure (nearly 50%) to a group of stocks known as the Magnificent Seven. These seven stocks are: Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com. Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., Apple Inc., Alphabet Inc., Nvidia Corp., Tesla Inc.

  • In the first quarter, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) theme was a key tailwind, helping to drive big tech outperformance.

  • During the second quarter, on the sector front, Technology was notably higher; particularly Nvidia, Apple, and Amazon.

  • During the third quarter of 2024, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a more than anticipated 50 basis points. This September rate cut benefitted sectors, like real estate, utilities, and financials, while Communication Services and IT lagged.

  • In the fourth quarter, markets rallied in November following a Republican win, driven by expectations of stronger economic growth.

  • The Magnificent Seven continued to generate outsized returns during this final quarter of 2024. Exchange traded equity index futures were used to equitize cash which facilitated liquidity for redemptions of the Fund.

  • During the third quarter of 2024, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a more than anticipated 50 basis points. This September rate cut benefitted sectors, like real estate, utilities, and financials, while Communication Services and IT lagged.

  • In the fourth quarter, markets rallied in November following a Republican win, driven by expectations of stronger economic growth.

  • The Magnificent Seven continued to generate outsized returns during this final quarter of 2024. Exchange traded equity index futures were used to equitize cash which facilitated liquidity for redemptions of the Fund.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund underperformed the benchmark. As this is an indexed fund, factors that affected markets also affected the Fund’s performance. Bond markets had a volatile 2024, marked by three consecutive rate cuts to the federal funds rate. The U.S. Federal Reserve gained confidence that inflation is sustainably moving towards the 2% target. Corporate spreads tightened on the belief that the economy will avoid a recession. Despite solid performance and support from rate cuts, Treasuries were volatile due to policy uncertainty and mixed economic data.

 

The following factors have negatively contributed to relative performance:

  • Yield curve positioning

  • Intra-day Trading

  • Asset Allocation: Overweight Cash, underweight Banking and Finance companies

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

U.S. stocks experienced another strong year in 2024, which was driven by tech stocks, tempered inflation, growing demand for artificial intelligence, and the Presidential election results.

  • The Fund slightly overperformed the Russell 2000® Index for the year primarily due to as-of cash flows and small security misweights. The Fund utilizes correlating index futures to equitize dividend receivables and for cash management purposes.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

This Fund consists of allocations to small cap and mid cap index funds (roughly 80% and 20%, respectively). Due to the approximately 20% mid cap allocation, the Fund will have a larger size bias relative to the benchmark, which is a pure small cap index.

  • During calendar year 2024, the Fund’s exposure to mid-cap securities generally contributed to benchmark relative returns.

  • 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?

Mid-cap growth stocks produced very strong gains, buoyed by generally favorable corporate earnings and continuing interest in artificial intelligence. Investors also welcomed lower short-term interest rates from the U.S. Federal Reserve, along with diminished political uncertainty following U.S. elections. Stock selection in the information technology sector was a very strong contributor to performance relative to the index. For example, shares of the mobile advertising platform operator AppLovin performed well amid better-than-expected earnings. Stock selection in utilities and consumer staples companies also added value, though to a lesser degree. Stock selection in the real estate sector detracted modestly from relative performance. Stock selection and an average underweight in the energy sector also had a mild negative impact on relative performance. The Fund uses a disciplined, long-term-oriented approach and fundamental research to find and invest in quality companies while factoring valuations and risks into portfolio decisions. Notable changes in positioning during the year were focused on maintaining a broadly diversified portfolio among mid-cap growth companies in which there is high conviction, while generally keeping the Fund's sector allocations in line with those of the index.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

Global stock indexes and global fixed income markets were mostly positive in 2024. Markets were supported by generally favorable corporate earnings, a softening labor market, easing inflation pressures, and the beginning of interest rate-cutting cycles.

  • The glide path’s design, which holds more equity across the series relative to the benchmarks, was a key contributor in a period of strong equity returns.

  • Our real assets equities overweight was a primary tactical detractor over the trailing one-year period (real assets equities lagged global equities), with tactical decisions overall a detractor for the period.

  • Overall, security selection detracted, due to selection among large-cap growth, mid-cap growth, and emerging markets equities, which was unfavorable. Conversely, selection among real assets equities contributed. The Fund outperformed its benchmark index due primarily to glide path design.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The LVIP U.S. 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 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 U.S. 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 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 Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests its assets in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds sponsored by The Vanguard Group, Inc. Currently approximately 30% of the Fund’s portfolio invests in the Vanguard Core Bond Fund and approximately 70% of the Fund’s portfolio invests in exchange-traded funds of the Vanguard ETFs series, which, in turn, invest in U.S. and foreign fixed income securities (debt obligations).

  • During the calendar year 2024, the Fund’s allocation to non-U.S. dollar denominated bonds benefitted relative performance versus the benchmark.

  • Additionally, an overweight to the corporate sector benefitted performance as corporate spreads narrowed significantly for the year. During the year, resilient economic data and healthy corporate fundamentals pushed treasury yields higher and kept credit spreads tight.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. It currently consists of seven Vanguard equity exchange-traded funds and one money market fund. The Fund is rebalanced back to its target allocations on a quarterly basis and target allocations are reviewed annually.

  • During the calendar year 2024, the Fund’s overweight to the real estate sector, which underperformed the broader benchmark, detracted from relative performance.

  • Additionally, a modest allocation to small cap stocks detracted from relative performance, as small cap stocks underperformed large cap stocks during the period.

  • Conversely, an overweight to Japanese equities benefitted relative performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

United States (U.S.) equities rose during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, driven by gains in mega-cap technology companies, Donald Trump's election win, and strong corporate earnings.

  • The Fund outperformed the Russell 2500 Value Index during the twelve-month period ended 31 December 2024. Relative outperformance was driven by sector allocation, a residual of the Fund's bottom-up stock selection process. Overweight allocations to Utilities and Financials contributed to results. Security selection was also a relative contributor during the period, driven by strong selection within the Real Estate sector.

  • Top contributors to relative performance during the period included overweight positions in American Healthcare REIT (Real Estate), Flex (Information Technology), and an out-of-benchmark position in StepStone Group (Financials).

  • Top relative detractors during the period included overweight positions in Integra LifeSciences (Health Care), Flagstar Financial (Financials), and Goodyear Tire&Rubber (Consumer Discretionary). The Fund sold off its position in Flagstar Financial prior to year-end.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The fixed income market experienced volatility in 2024, including fluctuating U.S. Treasury yields which ultimately ended the year higher, while credit spreads on most spread sectors tightened generating positive excess returns. U.S. data releases reinforced the trend of a resilient labor market and above trend economic growth. Inflation continued to slow, bringing it close to the U.S. Federal Reserve's (Fed) target of 2%, which allowed the Fed to finally cut interest rates by 100 basis points over the course of the year. In 2024, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index, net of fees.

  • The largest contributor to the Fund's performance was its overweight to structured products, including non-agency RMBS, CMBS and ABS, as spreads generally tightened. The Fund's overweight exposure to investment-grade corporate credit also significantly contributed to performance as corporate bond spreads tightened. The Fund's tactical positioning in agency MBS and TIPS also contributed to performance. Finally, the Fund's emerging markets (EM) exposure contributed to performance as USD-denominated EM bond spreads tightened over the period.

  • The Fund's tactical interest rate position was the main detractor over the year. The Fund was generally overweight duration relative to the benchmark, which detracted from performance as yields rose. Interest rate derivatives, including futures, options and swaps were used to tactically adjust the Fund's duration and yield curve positioning. Credit index derivatives were used to adjust the Fund's exposure to credit index spread levels.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]  

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

The fixed income market experienced volatility in 2024, including fluctuating U.S. Treasury yields which ultimately ended the year higher, while credit spreads on most spread sectors tightened generating positive excess returns. U.S. data releases reinforced the trend of a resilient labor market and above trend economic growth. Inflation continued to slow, bringing it close to the U.S. Federal Reserve's (Fed) target of 2%, which allowed the Fed to finally cut interest rates by 100 basis points over the course of the year. In 2024, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index, net of fees.

  • The largest contributor to the Fund's performance was its overweight to structured products, including non-agency RMBS, CMBS and ABS, as spreads generally tightened. The Fund's overweight exposure to investment-grade corporate credit also significantly contributed to performance as corporate bond spreads tightened. The Fund's tactical positioning in agency MBS and TIPS also contributed to performance. Finally, the Fund's emerging markets (EM) exposure contributed to performance as USD-denominated EM bond spreads tightened over the period.

  • The Fund's tactical interest rate position was the main detractor over the year. The Fund was generally overweight duration relative to the benchmark, which detracted from performance as yields rose. Interest rate derivatives, including futures, options and swaps were used to tactically adjust the Fund's duration and yield curve positioning. Credit index derivatives were used to adjust the Fund's exposure to credit index spread levels.
