Before you invest, you may want to review the Portfolio's Prospectus, which contains more information about the Portfolio and its risks. You can find the Portfolio's Prospectus, reports to shareholders and other information about the Portfolio by going online to dfinview.com/NYLIM/?site=VP, by calling 800-624-6782, option 2 or by sending an e-mail to NYLIMShareholderServices@nylim.com. The Portfolio's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, both dated May 1, 2026, as may be amended from time to time, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus.

**Investment Objective**

The Portfolio seeks total return.

**Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Portfolio. **The table does not include any separate account or policy fees or charges imposed under the variable annuity policies and variable universal life insurance policies for which the Portfolio is an investment option. If they were included, your costs would be higher.** Investors should consult the applicable variable annuity policy or variable universal life insurance policy prospectus for more information.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Initial** | **Service** |
|  | **Class** | **Class** |
| **Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses** |  |  |
| (fees paid directly from your investment) |  |  |
| Management Fees (as an annual percentage of the Portfolio's average daily net assets)<sup>1</sup> | 0.64 | 0.64 |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees |  | 0.25% |
| Other Expenses | 0.04% | 0.04 |
| **Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses** | 0.68 | 0.93 |

---

1. The management fee is as follows: 0.64% on assets up to $1 billion; 0.61% on assets from $1 billion to $3 billion; and 0.60% on assets over $3 billion.

**Example**

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example does not include any separate account or policy fees or charges imposed under the variable annuity policies and variable universal life insurance policies for which the Portfolio is an investment option. If they were included, your costs would be higher. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated whether or not you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement, if applicable, for the current duration of the arrangement only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

|  | **1 Year** | **3 Years**  | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| Initial Class | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;69 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 218 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 379 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 847 |
| Service Class | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;95 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 296 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 515 | $1143 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Portfolio 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 Portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 99% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Portfolio, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in securities of issuers in the utilities group of industries and companies deriving a majority of their revenues from their utility operations.

These companies may include, for example, companies that produce electricity, including nuclear and non-nuclear facilities; companies that distribute and transmit natural and manufactured gas; water treatment and other utility companies; and other companies that operate as independent power producers, gas and power marketing and trading specialists and/or integrated energy merchants. The Portfolio will invest at least 25% of its total assets (concentrate its investments) in securities issued by companies in the utilities group of industries. In addition to concentrating on particular industries, the Portfolio may invest a significant percentage of its assets in relatively few companies and may invest up to 25% in a single company. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers than a diversified fund.

------

FIAM LLC, the Portfolio's Subadvisor, does not place any emphasis on income when selecting securities, except when it believes that income may have a favorable effect on a security's market value.

Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio primarily invests in equity securities.

The Portfolio may invest in domestic and foreign securities without limitation. An issuer of a security is considered to be a U.S. or foreign issuer based on the issuer's "country of risk" (or similar designation) as determined by a third-party such as Bloomberg.

The Subadvisor may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange-traded funds, to increase or decrease a portfolio's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.

**Investment Process:** In buying and selling securities for the Portfolio, the Subadvisor relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment, including macro and quantitative support, of a company's potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.

**Principal Risks** 

You can lose money by investing in the Portfolio. An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The investments selected by the Subadvisor may underperform the market in which the Portfolio invests or other investments. The Portfolio may receive large purchase or redemption orders which may have adverse effects on performance if the Portfolio were required to sell securities, invest cash or hold a relatively large amount of cash at times when it would not otherwise do so.

The principal risks of investing in the Portfolio are summarized below. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time.

**Market Risk:** Changes in markets may cause the value of investments to fluctuate, which could cause the Portfolio to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Such changes may be rapid and unpredictable. From time to time, markets may experience periods of stress as a result of various market, economic, social and geopolitical factors (including responses to government actions or interventions), such as the imposition (or the threatened imposition) of tariffs for potentially prolonged periods that may result in: (i) increased market volatility; (ii) reduced market liquidity; and (iii) increased redemptions of shares. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions, and such conditions may add significantly to the risk of volatility in the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares and adversely affect the Portfolio and its investments.

The energy markets have experienced significant volatility, including significant swings in the price of crude oil and natural gas prices, and may experience and have historically experienced relatively high volatility for prolonged periods as a result of factors such as supply, technology, regulation, and market collusion. Such conditions may negatively impact the Portfolio and its shareholders. The Subadvisor may take measures to navigate the conditions of the energy markets, but there is no guarantee that such efforts will be effective or that the Portfolio's performance will correlate with any increase in oil and gas prices.

**Portfolio Management Risk:** The investment strategies, practices and risk analyses used by the Subadvisor may not produce the desired results or expected returns. Investments selected using quantitative methods or based on models that analyze information and data ("quantitative tools") may perform differently from the market as a whole. The quantitative tool used by the Subadvisor, and the investments selected based on the quantitative tool, may not perform as expected. The quantitative tool may contain certain assumptions in construction and implementation that may adversely affect the Portfolio's performance. There may also be technical issues with the construction and implementation of quantitative tools (for example, software or other technology malfunctions, or programming inaccuracies). In addition, the Portfolio's performance will reflect, in part, the Subadvisor's ability to make active qualitative decisions and timely adjust the quantitative tool, including the tool's underlying metrics and data.

**Equity Securities Risk:** Investments in common stocks and other equity securities are particularly subject to the risk of changing economic, stock market, industry and company conditions and the risks inherent in the ability to anticipate such changes that can adversely affect the value of portfolio holdings.

**Utilities Risk:** The utilities group of industries can be significantly affected by, among other things, government regulation, interest rate changes, financing difficulties, supply and demand of services or fuel, intense competition, natural resource conservation, and commodity price fluctuations.

**Concentration Risk:** Because the Portfolio concentrates its investments in securities issued by companies in the utilities group of industries, the Portfolio may be subject to greater risks and market fluctuations than a fund whose portfolio has exposure to a broader range of industries. The Portfolio is particularly susceptible to financial, economic, political, or market events, as well as government regulation, impacting the utilities group of industries, including supply and/or demand for services or fuel, financing costs, conservation efforts, the negative impact of regulation, and other factors. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that: (1) its performance will be closely tied to the performance of the utilities group of industries; (2) its performance will be adversely impacted when such industries experience a downturn; and (3) it will perform poorly during a slump in demand for securities of companies in such industries.

**Non-Diversification Risk:** The Portfolio is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. A non-diversified fund may have a significant portion of its investments in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Having a larger percentage of assets in a smaller number of issuers makes a non-diversified fund more susceptible to the risk that one single event or occurrence can have a significant adverse impact upon the Portfolio.

**Foreign Securities Risk:** An issuer of a security is considered to be a U.S. or foreign issuer based on the issuer's "country of risk" (or similar designation) as determined by a third party such as Bloomberg (or another similar third party). The issuer's "country of risk" is determined based on a number of criteria, which may change from time to time and currently include, but are not limited to, its country of domicile, the primary stock exchange on which it trades, the location from which the majority of its revenue comes, and its reporting currency.

Investments in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may be riskier than investments in U.S. securities. Foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets can have less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards and less liquid trading markets than U.S. regulatory regimes and securities markets, and can

2<br>

experience political, social and economic developments (such as government expropriation, excessive taxation, political or social instability, trade restrictions (including tariffs) or economic sanctions) that may affect the value of investments in foreign securities. There can also be difficulty obtaining and enforcing judgments against issuers in foreign countries. Foreign securities may also subject the Portfolio's investments to changes in currency rates. Changes in the value of foreign currencies may make the return on an investment increase or decrease, unrelated to the quality or performance of the investment itself. Economic sanctions may be, and have been, imposed against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar governmental actions or developments could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Portfolio's ability to purchase or sell certain foreign securities or groups of foreign securities, and thus may make the Portfolio's investments in such securities less liquid or more difficult to value. Such sanctions may also cause a decline in the value of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country. In addition, as a result of economic sanctions and other similar governmental actions or developments, the Portfolio may be forced to sell or otherwise dispose of foreign investments at inopportune times or prices. The Portfolio may seek to hedge against its exposure to changes in the value of foreign currency, but there is no guarantee that such hedging techniques will be successful in reducing any related foreign currency valuation risk.

**Regulatory Risk:** The Portfolio as well as the issuers of the securities and other instruments in which the Portfolio invests are subject to considerable regulation and the risks associated with adverse changes in laws and regulations governing their operations.

The utilities group of industries is subject to significant government regulation and oversight, including regulatory limits on rates, profits and the ability to pay dividends to investors as well as restrictions on a company's access to new markets, which may adversely affect the Portfolio's investments in utilities issuers. In addition, deregulation of the utilities group of industries may subject utility companies to greater competition and may reduce their profitability. Together, these risks subject utilities issuers to uncertainty and may result in increased price volatility of securities of issuers in the utilities group of industries.

**Exchange-Traded Fund ("ETF") Risk:** The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities in which the ETF invests or is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF's shares could result in the market price of the ETF's shares being more volatile than its underlying portfolio securities. Disruptions in the markets for the securities underlying ETFs could result in losses on the investments in ETFs. ETFs may not achieve their investment objectives due to, among other reasons, regulatory restrictions, including exchange rules, rapid or material fluctuations in market prices of shares of an ETF, or shares of an ETF trading significantly above or below net asset value. ETFs also have management fees and transaction costs that may make them more expensive than owning the underlying securities directly.

**Dividend-Paying Stock Risk:** Emphasis on equity and equity-related securities that produce income or other distributions involves the risk that such securities may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Depending upon market conditions, income producing stocks that meet the Portfolio's investment criteria may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market sectors. This may limit the ability of the Portfolio to produce current income while remaining fully diversified. Also, an issuer may reduce or eliminate its income payments or other distributions, particularly during a market downturn. The distributions received may not qualify as income for Portfolio investors.

**Derivatives Risk:** Derivatives are investments whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying instrument, such as a security, asset, reference rate or index. Derivative strategies may be riskier than investing directly in the underlying instrument and often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing the Portfolio to lose more money than it originally invested and would have lost had it invested directly in the underlying instrument. For example, if the Portfolio is the seller of credit protection in a credit default swap, the Portfolio effectively adds leverage to its portfolio and is subject to the credit exposure on the full notional value of the swap. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind and/or value. Derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable or unwilling to honor its contractual obligations to the Portfolio. Futures and other derivatives may be more volatile than direct investments in the instrument underlying the contract, and may not correlate perfectly to the underlying instrument. Futures and other derivatives also may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed, which could result in losses greater than if they had not been used. Derivatives may also increase the expenses of the Portfolio.

**Liquidity and Valuation Risk:** The Portfolio's investments may be illiquid at the time of purchase or liquid at the time of purchase and subsequently become illiquid due to, among other things, events relating to the issuer of the securities, market events, operational issues, economic conditions, investor perceptions or lack of market participants. The lack of an active trading market may make it difficult to sell or obtain an accurate price for a security. If market conditions or issuer specific developments make it difficult to value securities, the Portfolio may value these securities using more subjective methods, such as fair value pricing. In such cases, the value determined for a security could be different than the value realized upon such security's sale. As a result, an investor could pay more than the market value when buying shares or receive less than the market value when selling shares. This could affect the proceeds of any redemption or the number of shares an investor receives upon purchase. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that it could not meet redemption requests within the allowable time period without significant dilution of remaining investors' interests in the Portfolio. To meet redemption requests or to raise cash to pursue other investment opportunities, the Portfolio may be forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, which may adversely affect the Portfolio's performance.

**Past Performance**

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio's performance from year to year and by showing how the Portfolio's average annual returns compare with those of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index over time. Separate variable annuity and variable universal life insurance account and policy fees and charges are not reflected in the bar chart and table. If they were, returns would be less than those shown. The Portfolio has selected the Russell 3000<sup>®</sup> Index to represent a broad measure of market performance. The table also includes the average annual returns of the MSCI USA IMI Utilities 25/50 Index (Gross), which is generally representative of the market sectors or types of investments in which the Portfolio invests.

Index returns reflect no deductions for fees, expenses or taxes, except for foreign withholding taxes where applicable.

Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Portfolio will perform in the future. The Portfolio replaced its subadvisor, modified its principal investment strategies and changed its classification from a

diversified fund to a non-diversified fund as of November 30, 2018. The past performance in the bar chart and table prior to that date reflects the Portfolio's prior subadvisor, principal investment strategies and diversification status.
