The obligation will automatically renew for one-year terms unless it is terminated by the Portfolio or the adviser upon written notice within 90 days of the end of the then current term or upon termination of the advisory agreement and is subject to possible recoupment by the adviser within three years. The distributor is also contractually obligated to waive 0.05% of the 0.25% shareholder services fee through May 1, 2012. There is no guarantee that the shareholder services fee waiver will continue after May 1, 2012.

The Portfolio invests primarily in companies with a large market capitalization, but may also invest in small- and mid-sized companies. The Portfolio generally invests in common and preferred stocks, warrants, and convertible securities. The Portfolio may invest in companies located in countries with emerging securities markets when the sub-adviser ("Sub-Adviser") believes they present attractive investment opportunities. The Portfolio may invest in government debt securities of developed foreign countries. The Portfolio also may invest up to 35% of its assets in securities of U.S. issuers, including investment-grade government and corporate debt securities.</p> <p>The Portfolio may invest in derivative instruments including futures, options and swaps. The Portfolio typically uses derivatives to hedge against currency risk and for purposes of cash equitization. The Portfolio generally keeps a small cash balance on hand to manage potential outflows. In order to maintain equity market exposure on that cash balance, the Portfolio typically invests in derivatives designed to track broad equity market indices.</p> <p>The Portfolio may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations and exemptive orders thereunder ("1940 Act).</p> <p>The Sub-Adviser primarily uses a bottom-up fundamental analysis to identify stocks which it believes offer good value relative to their peers in the same industry, sector or region.

In conducting its fundamental analysis, the Sub-Adviser focuses on various factors including valuation of the companies, catalysts to stock price appreciation, quality of management, and financial measures, especially cash flow and cash flow return on capital. </p> <p>The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others.</p> <p>The Portfolio also may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 33 1/3% of its assets.</p></div> </div>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stocks could become worthless. </p> <p><strong>Convertible Securities</strong> Convertible securities are securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stocks at a stated price or rate. Convertible securities are subject to the usual risks associated with debt securities, such as interest rate and credit risk. In addition, because convertible securities react to changes in the value of the stocks into which they convert, they are subject to market risk. </p> <p><strong>Credit</strong> Prices of bonds and other debt securities can fall if the issuer's actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In severe cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay altogether. </p> <p><strong>Currency</strong> To the extent that the Portfolio invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. </p> <p><strong>Derivative Instruments</strong> Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in interest rates and liquidity risk. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Portfolio and reduce its returns. </p> <p><strong>Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets</strong> Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Portfolio experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign investment risks typically are greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets.</p> <p><strong>Interest Rate</strong> With bonds and other debt securities, a rise in interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the security, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. </p> <p><strong>Liquidity</strong> If a security is illiquid, the Portfolio might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Portfolio's manager might wish to sell, and the security could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the Portfolio's liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, which could vary from the amount the Portfolio could realize upon disposition. The Portfolio may make investments that become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perception. The Portfolio could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Portfolio. </p> <p><strong>Market</strong> Stock prices are volatile and are affected by the real or perceived impacts of such factors as economic conditions and political events. The stock market tends to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods.</p> <p><strong>Market Capitalization</strong> Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories - large, mid and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-sized companies causing the Portfolio that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in larger, fully-valued companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may decline significantly in market downturns. </p> <p><strong>Other Investment Companies</strong> The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Portfolio may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of that other investment company (including management fees, administration fees and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Portfolio. </p> <p><strong>Securities Lending</strong> Securities lending involves two primary risks: "investment risk" and "borrower default risk." Investment risk is the risk that the Portfolio will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Portfolio will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security in a timely manner.</p> <p><strong>Sovereign Debt</strong> These securities are issued or guaranteed by foreign government entities. Investments in sovereign debt are subject to the risk that a government entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt. Some of these reasons may include cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, the relative size of its debt position to its economy or its failure to put in place economic reforms required by the International Monetary Fund or other multilateral agencies. If a government entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for further loans. There is no legal process for collecting sovereign debts that a government does not pay or bankruptcy proceeding by which all or part of sovereign debt that a government entity has not repaid may be collected. </p> <p><strong>U.S. Government Securities and Obligations</strong> U.S. government securities are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. U.S. government securities are subject to market and interest rate risk, and may be subject to varying degrees of credit risk. </p> <p><strong>Value Investing</strong> Securities that appear to be undervalued may never appreciate to the extent expected. Further, because the prices of value-oriented securities tend to correlate more closely with economic cycles than growth-oriented securities, they generally are more sensitive to changing economic conditions, such as changes in interest rates, corporate earnings and industrial production. </p> <div class="MetaData"> <p><em>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.</em> </p></div></div> </div>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

Class I shares' performance has been adjusted to reflect the higher expenses of Class S shares. The Class S shares and Class I shares of the Portfolio would have substantially similar performance because they invest in the same portfolio of securities. However, Class I shares' performance would be higher than Class S shares' performance because of the higher expenses paid by Class S shares. The Portfolio's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table does not include insurance-related charges imposed under a Variable Contract or expenses related to a Qualified Plan. If these charges or expenses were included, performance would be lower.
