What this fund is
Objective, as filed

Columbia Variable Portfolio Cornerstone Equity Fund (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of assets in equity securities of companies within the S&P 500 Index market capitalization range, typically holding 40 to 60 stocks selected from large-cap U.S. companies. It may also hold up to 20% in foreign securities, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and exchange-traded funds. Because the fund may continue to hold securities even after they fall outside the S&P 500 capitalization range, its holdings may diverge from the index composition.
