What this fund is
Objective, as filed

Variable Portfolio U.S. Flexible Growth Fund (the Fund) pursues total return while seeking to manage the Funds exposure to equity market volatility.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests through a mix of affiliated mutual funds and tactical assets—derivatives, ETFs, and fixed-income instruments—to pursue total return while adjusting its equity market exposure based on volatility measures. Day-to-day management of some underlying funds is delegated to subadvisers. The fund's effective equity exposure ranges from 0% to 90% of net assets and shifts in response to the investment manager's assessment of market volatility, with derivatives potentially creating leveraged exposure that could exceed the amount invested. The fund may hold significant cash to cover derivative obligations.

What the fund is made of

Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.

Partial coverage
106.62%
of net assets
Stocks83.58%
Cash & short-term14.11%
Securitized7.98%
Derivatives0.94%

These positions come to 106.62% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 9.65%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 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.
