JNL/T. Rowe Price Value Fund
Class A
Class I
Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund’s Prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks.  You can find the Fund’s Prospectus and other information about the Fund, including the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) and most recent reports to shareholders, online at http://connect.rightprospectus.com/Jackson. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 1-800-644-4565 (Annuity and Life Service Center), 1-800-599-5651 (NY Annuity and Life Service Center), 1-800-777-7779 (for contracts purchased through a bank or financial institution) or 1-888-464-7779 (for NY contracts purchased through a bank or financial institution), or by sending an email request to ProspectusRequest@jackson.com.  The current Prospectus and SAI, both dated April 27, 2020, as amended, are incorporated by reference into (which means they legally are a part of) this Summary Prospectus.
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ annual and semi annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from Jackson. Instead, the reports will be made available on Jackson’s website (www.jackson.com), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from Jackson electronically by doing one of the following:
Mailing in the postage-paid card on the cover of this report;
Calling 1-866-349-4564; or
Signing up on www.jackson.com

Beginning on January 1, 2019, you may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. You can inform Jackson that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by contacting the appropriate Jackson Service Center. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Funds held in each variable contract you purchased from Jackson.

Investment Objective.  The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in common stocks believed to be undervalued.  Income is a secondary objective.
Expenses.  This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.
The expenses do not reflect the expenses of the variable insurance contracts or the separate account through which you indirectly invest in the Fund, whichever may be applicable, and the total expenses would be higher if they were included.

JNAM has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees payable to an affiliate of the sub-adviser attributable to the Fund’s investment in funds managed by that affiliate. The waiver will have the effect of reducing the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses that are indirectly borne by the Fund. The waiver will continue for at least one year from the date of this Prospectus, so long as the sub-advisory agreement remains in effect, and continue thereafter unless the Board of Trustees approves a change in or elimination of the waiver. The impact of this waiver was less than 0.01% for the previous fiscal year.
Expense Example. This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. Also, this example does not reflect the expenses of the variable insurance contracts or the separate account through which you indirectly invest in the Fund, whichever may be applicable, and the total expenses would be higher if they were included. The table below shows the expenses you would pay on a $10,000 investment, assuming (1) 5% annual return; (2) redemption at the end of each time period; and (3) that the Fund operating expenses remain the same. The example also assumes that the contractual expense limitation agreement is not renewed. The example does not reflect the voluntary fee waiver.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover (% of average value of portfolio).  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs.  These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Expense Example above, affect the Fund’s performance.

Principal Investment Strategies. In taking a value approach to investment selection, at least 65% of the Fund’s total assets will normally be invested in common stocks that T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“Sub-Adviser”) regards as undervalued.  Stock holdings are expected to consist primarily of large-company stocks, but may also include mid-cap and small-cap companies.  The Sub-Adviser's research team seeks to identify companies that appear to be undervalued by various measures and may be temporarily out of favor, but which the Sub-Adviser believes have good prospects for capital appreciation.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets (excluding reserves) in foreign securities, including securities that are economically tied to emerging markets. The Fund may at times invest significantly in certain sectors.
In keeping with the Fund’s objective, it may also invest in other securities and use futures, options, swaps, and other derivative-type instruments.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund.  An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed.  As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s shares will change, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The principal risks associated with investing in the Fund include:
Investment style risk – The returns from a certain investment style may be lower than the returns from the overall stock market. Value stocks may not increase in price if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that are expected to increase the price of the security do not occur.  Over market cycles, different investment styles may sometimes outperform other investment styles (for example, growth investing may outperform value investing).
Stock risk – Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.  The prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s stock.
Sector risk – Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad categories called sectors. Sector risk is the risk that securities of companies within specific sectors of the economy can perform differently than the overall market. For example, this may be due to changes in the regulatory or competitive environment or changes in investor perceptions regarding a sector. Because the Fund may allocate relatively more assets to certain sectors than others, the Fund’s performance may be more susceptible to any developments which affect those sectors emphasized by the Fund.  In addition, the Fund could underperform other funds investing in similar sectors or comparable benchmarks because of the investment manager’s choice of securities within such sector.
Foreign securities risk – Investments in, or exposure to, foreign securities involve risks not typically associated with U.S. investments. These risks include, among others, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income payable on the securities, as well as adverse political, social and economic developments, such as political upheaval, acts of terrorism, financial troubles, or natural disasters. Many foreign securities markets, especially those in emerging market countries, are less stable, smaller, less liquid, and less regulated than U.S. securities markets, and the costs of trading in those markets is often higher than in U.S. securities markets. There may also be less publicly available information about issuers of foreign securities compared to issuers of U.S. securities. In addition, the economies of certain foreign markets may not compare favorably with the economy of the United States with respect to issues such as growth of gross national product, reinvestment of capital, resources and balance of payments position.
Large-capitalization investing risk Large-capitalization stocks as a group could fall out of favor with the market, which may cause the Fund to underperform funds that focus on other types of stocks.
Mid-capitalization and small-capitalization investing risk – The securities of mid-capitalization and small-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Securities of such issuers may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable a Fund to effect sales at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. Both mid-capitalization and small-capitalization companies often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies. As a result, their performance can be more volatile and they face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks become.
Managed portfolio risk – As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund’s investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Sub-Adviser's investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund’s investment objective or negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance.
Investment strategy risk  The investment manager uses the principal investment strategies and other investment strategies to seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. Investment decisions made by the investment manager in accordance with these investment strategies may not produce the returns the investment manager expected, and may cause the Fund’s shares to decline in value or may cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives.
Foreign regulatory risk – The Adviser is a subsidiary of Jackson. Jackson is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson Financial Inc., which is a subsidiary of Prudential plc. Prudential plc is a publicly traded company incorporated in the United Kingdom and is not affiliated in any manner with Prudential Financial Inc., a company whose principal place of business is in the United States of America, or with The Prudential Assurance Company Ltd, a subsidiary of M&G plc, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. Through its ownership structure, the Adviser has a number of global financial industry affiliates.  As a result of this structure, and the asset management and financial industry business activities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the Adviser and the Fund may be prohibited or limited in effecting transactions in certain securities.  Additionally, the Adviser and the Fund may encounter trading limitations or restrictions because of aggregation issues or other foreign regulatory requirements.  Foreign regulators or foreign laws may impose position limits on securities held by the Fund, and the Fund may be limited as to which securities it may purchase or sell, as well as the timing of such purchases or sales.  These foreign regulatory limits may increase the Fund’s expenses and may limit the Fund’s performance.
Portfolio turnover risk Frequent changes in the securities held by a Fund, including investments made on a shorter-term basis or in derivative instruments or in instruments with a maturity of one year or less at the time of acquisition, may increase transaction costs, which may reduce performance.
Financial services risk – An investment in issuers in the financial services sector may be adversely affected by, among other things: (i) changes in the regulatory framework or interest rates that may negatively affect financial service businesses; (ii) exposure of a financial institution to a non-diversified or concentrated loan portfolio; (iii) exposure to financial leverage and/or investments or agreements which, under certain circumstances, may lead to losses (e.g., sub-prime loans); and (iv) the risk that a market shock or other unexpected market, economic, political, regulatory, or other event might lead to a sudden decline in the values of most or all companies in the financial services sector.
Market risk – Portfolio securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political, or regulatory conditions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment, public health issues, war, terrorism or natural disasters, among others. Adverse market conditions may be prolonged and may not have the same impact on all types of securities.  The values of securities may fall due to factors affecting a particular issuer, industry or the securities market as a whole.
Derivatives risk Investments in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices, can be highly volatile and may be subject to transaction costs and certain risks, such as unanticipated changes in securities prices and global currency investment.  Derivatives also are subject to leverage risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, counterparty risk, and credit risk.  They also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, interest rate or index. Gains or losses from derivatives can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost.  Certain derivatives transactions may subject the Fund to counterparty risk.
Company risk Investments in U.S. and/or foreign-traded equity securities may fluctuate more than the values of other types of securities in response to changes in a particular company’s financial condition.
Accounting risk – The Fund bases investment selections, in part, on information drawn from the financial statements of issuers. Financial statements may not be accurate, may reflect differing approaches with respect to auditing and reporting standards and may affect the ability of the Fund’s investment manager to identify appropriate investment opportunities.


Performance.  The performance information shown provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns compared with those of broad-based securities market indices which have investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund. Performance results include the effect of expense waiver/reduction arrangements for some or all of the periods shown. If such arrangements had not been in place, performance for those periods would have been lower. The Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
The returns shown in the bar chart and table do not include charges that will be imposed by variable insurance products.  If these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown.

Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares
Only separate accounts of Jackson National Life Insurance Company (“Jackson”) or Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York (“Jackson NY”) and series, including fund of funds, of registered investment companies in which either or both of those insurance companies invest may purchase shares of the Fund. You may invest indirectly in the Fund through your purchase of a variable annuity or life insurance contract issued by a separate account of Jackson or Jackson NY that invests directly, or through a fund of funds, in this Fund.  Any minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements and redemption procedures are governed by the applicable separate account through which you invest indirectly.
This Fund serves as an underlying investment by insurance companies, affiliated investment companies, and retirement plans for funding variable annuity and life insurance contracts and retirement plans.
Tax Information
The Fund expects to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and does not expect to make regular distributions (other than in redemption of Fund shares) to shareholders, which generally are the participating insurance companies investing in the Fund through separate accounts of Jackson or Jackson NY and mutual funds owned directly or indirectly by such separate accounts.  You should consult the prospectus of the appropriate separate account or description of the plan for a discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of your contract, policy, or plan.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Financial Intermediaries
If you invest in the Fund under a variable insurance contract or a plan that offers a variable insurance contract as a plan option through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a financial institution), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s Website for more information.
