Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
Variable Portfolio Managed Volatility Growth Fund (the Fund) pursues total return while seeking to manage the Funds exposure to equity market volatility.
The fund is a fund of funds that invests 40% to 90% of assets in affiliated mutual funds (some managed by Columbia Management and some by subadvisers it hires), supplemented by derivatives, ETFs, and fixed-income securities to adjust its equity market exposure based on volatility measures. The fund targets effective equity exposure ranging from 0% to 90% of net assets, reducing this exposure when equity volatility is high and increasing it when volatility is low. Because the fund's equity exposure and underlying fund allocations fluctuate based on the investment manager's volatility assessments rather than a fixed formula, actual returns may diverge materially from those of its blended benchmark. The fund may employ leverage through derivatives, potentially creating losses exceeding the amount invested.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Feb 2026
Mar 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
This fund changed legal form during the period shown. The history above is continuous — it spans both eras, and the change is not a gap in reporting.
