&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Investment Objective**

<sup>1</sup>

Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027, to reduce the Management Fee for each class of the Portfolio. This arrangement may be modified or discontinued prior to April 30, 2027, only with the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio.

**Example**

The following 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 assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same, and that all fee waivers for the Portfolio will expire after one year. 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** |
| Class A | &nbsp;&nbsp; $63 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $203 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $355 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $796 |
| Class B | &nbsp;&nbsp; $89 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $282 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $491 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $1094 |
| Class E | &nbsp;&nbsp; $79 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $250 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $437 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $976 |
| Class F | &nbsp;&nbsp; $84 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $266 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $464 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $1035 |

---

**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. <br>During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 33% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Portfolio invests in a combination of equity and fixed income securities.

Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS" or "Subadviser"), subadviser to the Portfolio, generally invests approximately 60% of the Portfolio's net assets in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into stocks, and depositary receipts for equity securities, and approximately 40% of the Portfolio's net assets in

------

fixed-income securities. (These weightings do not reflect the Portfolio's cash balance and can vary over time due to market movements and cash flows.)

The fixed-income securities in which the Portfolio may invest include, but are not limited to, corporate bonds, U.S. Government securities (e.g., obligations of the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities), mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities, including collateralized loan obligations. The Portfolio may invest in securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. Generally, substantially all of the Portfolio's investments in debt instruments are rated investment grade.

MFS focuses on investing the Portfolio's equity portion in the stocks of companies that it believes are undervalued compared to their perceived worth ("value" companies). Value companies tend to have stock prices that are low relative to their earnings, dividends, assets, or other financial measures. The Portfolio may, from time to time, emphasize one or more sectors.

MFS invests, under normal circumstances, a portion of the Portfolio's assets in income-producing equity securities.

While MFS may use derivatives for any investment purpose, to the extent MFS uses derivatives, MFS expects to use derivatives primarily to increase or decrease exposure to a particular market, segment of the market, or security, to increase or decrease interest rate exposure, or as alternatives to direct investments. Derivatives include futures, forward contracts, options, and swaps.

Consistent with the principal investment strategies above, the Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities and may have exposure to foreign currencies through its investments in these securities.

While MFS may invest the Portfolio's equity portion in securities of companies of any size, MFS primarily invests in securities of companies with large capitalizations ($5 billion or more).

The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis where payment and delivery take place at a future settlement date, including mortgage-backed securities purchased or sold in the to be announced (TBA) market. When MFS sells securities for the Portfolio on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis, the Portfolio typically owns or has the right to acquire securities equivalent in kind and amount to the deliverable securities.

Investment Selection

MFS uses an active bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments for the Portfolio. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers and/or instruments in light of the issuer's financial condition and

market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions. Factors considered for equity securities may include analysis of an issuer's earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. Factors considered for debt instruments may include the instrument's credit quality, collateral characteristics, and indenture provisions, and the issuer's management ability, capital structure, use of leverage, and ability to meet its current obligations. Quantitative screening tools that systematically evaluate the valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors of the issuer of an equity security or the structure of a debt instrument may also be considered.

**Principal Risks**

As with all mutual funds, there is no guarantee that the Portfolio will achieve its investment objective. You could lose money by investing in the Portfolio. An investment in the Portfolio through a Contract is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed by, any bank, and is not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency of the U.S. Government.

The value of your investment in the Portfolio may be affected by one or more of the following risks, which are described in more detail in "Principal Risks of Investing in the Portfolio" in the Prospectus. The significance of any specific risk to an investment in the Portfolio will vary over time, depending on the composition of the Portfolio, market conditions, and other factors. You should read all of the risk information presented below carefully, because any one or more of these risks could cause the Portfolio's return or the price of its shares to decrease or could cause the Portfolio's yield to fluctuate.

**Market Risk.** The Portfolio's share price can fall because of, among other things, a decline in the market as a whole, deterioration in the prospects for a particular industry or company, changes in general economic conditions, such as prevailing interest rates or investor sentiment, or other factors including terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious illness including epidemics or pandemics. In addition, unexpected political, regulatory, trade and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Significant disruptions to the financial markets could adversely affect the liquidity and volatility of securities held by the Portfolio.

**Market Capitalization Risk.** Investing primarily in issuers in one market capitalization category (large, medium or small) carries the risk that due to current market conditions that category will be out of favor with investors. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges or attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies. Stocks of medium and small capitalization companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies due to, among other things, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources and fewer experienced

**MFS**<sup>®</sup> **Total Return Portfolio**

------

managers. In addition, there is typically less publicly available information about small capitalization companies, and their stocks may have a more limited trading market than stocks of larger companies.

**Investment Style Risk.** Different investment styles such as growth or value tend to shift in and out of favor, depending on market and economic conditions as well as investor sentiment. The Portfolio may outperform or underperform other funds that employ a different investment style.

**Interest Rate Risk.** The value of the Portfolio's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates fall. The longer a security's maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Portfolio's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates fall. During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Portfolio may be unable to maintain positive returns or pay dividends to Portfolio shareholders. Additionally, under certain market conditions in which interest rates are low or negative, the Portfolio may have a very low, or even negative yield. A low or negative yield would cause the Portfolio to lose money and the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares to decline in certain conditions and over certain time periods. Changes in prevailing interest rates, particularly sudden changes, may also increase the level of volatility in fixed income and other markets, increase redemptions in the Portfolio's shares and reduce the liquidity of the Portfolio's debt securities and other income-producing holdings. Changes in interest rate levels are caused by a variety of factors, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, and general economic and market conditions.

**Credit and Counterparty Risk.** The value of the Portfolio's investments may be adversely affected if a security's credit rating is downgraded or an issuer of an investment held by the Portfolio fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy. If a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Portfolio files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Portfolio, the Portfolio may experience significant losses or delays in realizing income on or recovering collateral and may lose all or a part of the income from the transaction.

**Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk.** The value of investments in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities is subject to interest rate risk and credit and counterparty risk. These securities are also subject to the risk that issuers will prepay the principal more quickly or more slowly than expected, which could cause the Portfolio to invest the proceeds in less attractive investments or increase the volatility of their prices. To the extent mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities held by the Portfolio are backed by lower rated securities, such as sub-prime obligations, or are subordinated to

other interests in the same mortgage or asset pool, the likelihood of the Portfolio receiving payments of principal or interest may be substantially limited.

**Collateralized Obligations Risk.** Collateralized obligations are subject to varying degrees of credit and counterparty risk. The Portfolio's credit and counterparty risk increases if its interests are subordinate to other holders' interests.

**Foreign Investment Risk.** Investments in foreign securities, whether direct or indirect, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social, economic and other developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries. To the extent the Portfolio invests in foreign sovereign debt securities, it is subject to additional risks.

**Convertible Securities Risk.** Investments in convertible securities are subject to market risk, credit and counterparty risk, interest rate risk and other risks associated with investments in equity and fixed income securities, depending on the price of the underlying security and the conversion price. In addition, a convertible security may be bought back by the issuer, or the Portfolio may be forced to convert a convertible security, at a time and a price that is disadvantageous to the Portfolio.

**Derivatives Risk.** The Portfolio may invest in derivatives to obtain investment exposure, enhance return or "hedge" or protect its assets from an unfavorable shift in the value or rate of a reference instrument or asset. Derivatives can be highly volatile and can significantly increase the Portfolio's exposure to market risk, credit and counterparty risk and other risks. Derivatives may be illiquid and difficult to value and can involve risks in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of the underlying reference instrument. Because of their complex nature, some derivatives may not perform as intended. As a result, the Portfolio may not realize the anticipated benefits from a derivative it holds or it may realize losses. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Derivative transactions may create investment leverage, which increases the Portfolio's volatility and may require the Portfolio to liquidate portfolio securities when it is not advantageous to do so. Government regulation of derivative instruments may limit or prevent the Portfolio from using such instruments as part of its investment strategies, which could adversely affect the Portfolio.

**Forward Commitment, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities Risk.** Investments in forward commitments and when-issued and delayed delivery securities are subject to the risk that the value or yield of the securities the Portfolio is obligated

**MFS**<sup>®</sup> **Total Return Portfolio**

------

to purchase will decline below the agreed upon purchase price or expected yield before the securities are actually issued or delivered. These investments may create a form of investment leverage, which may increase the Portfolio's volatility and may require the Portfolio to liquidate portfolio securities when it is not advantageous to do so.

**Focused Investment Risk.** Substantial investments in a relatively small number of securities or issuers, or a particular market, industry, group of industries, country, region, group of countries, asset class or sector make the Portfolio's performance more susceptible to any single economic, market, political or regulatory occurrence affecting those particular securities or issuers or that particular market, industry, group of industries, country, region, group of countries, asset class or sector than a portfolio that invests more broadly.

**Rule 144A and Other Exempted Securities Risk.** In the U.S. market, private placements may typically be sold only to qualified institutional buyers, or qualified purchasers, as applicable. If an insufficient number of eligible buyers is interested in purchasing privately placed and other securities or instruments exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission registration (collectively "private placements") at a particular time, this could adversely affect the marketability of such investments and the Portfolio might be unable to dispose of them promptly or at reasonable prices, subjecting the Portfolio to liquidity risk. Even the Portfolio's holdings of liquid private placements may increase the level of Portfolio illiquidity if eligible buyers are unable or unwilling to purchase them at a particular time. The information that issuers of Rule 144A eligible securities are required to disclose to potential investors is much less extensive than that required of public companies and is not publicly available, and issuers of Rule 144A eligible securities can require recipients of the offering information (such as the Portfolio) to agree contractually to keep the information confidential, which could also adversely affect the Portfolio's ability to dispose of the security.

**Past Performance**

The information below provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio's performance from year to year and how the Portfolio's average annual returns over time compare with those of broad-based securities market indexes and an additional index reflecting the market segment(s) in which the Portfolio invests . Note that the results in the bar chart and table do not include the effect of Contract charges. If these Contract charges had been included, performance would have been lower. As with all mutual funds, past returns are not a prediction of future returns.

**Tax Information**

For information regarding the tax consequences of Contract ownership, please see the prospectus for the relevant Contract.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial** <br> **Intermediaries**

The Portfolio is not sold directly to the general public but instead is offered as an underlying investment option for Contracts issued by insurance companies, including insurance companies that are affiliated with the Portfolio and BIA.

payments to the sponsoring insurance companies (or their affiliates) for distribution and/or other services, and the insurance companies may benefit more from offering the Portfolio as an investment option in the Contracts than offering other portfolios. The benefits to the insurance companies of offering the Portfolio over other portfolios and these payments may be factors that the insurance companies consider in including the Portfolio as an underlying investment option in the Contracts and may create a conflict of interest. The prospectus for your Contract contains additional information about these payments.
