**Summary Prospectus**

May 1, 2026

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

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

Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's Prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's Prospectus, reports to shareholders, and other information about the Fund online at www.LincolnFinancial.com/lvip. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 877 ASK LINCOLN (877-275-5462). The Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, both dated May 1, 2026, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus.

**Investment Objective**

The investment objective of the LVIP Franklin Templeton Multi-Factor SMID Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") is to seek to maximize long-term capital appreciation.

**Fees and Expenses**

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. This table does not reflect any variable contract expenses. **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.** If variable contract expenses were included, the expenses shown would be higher.

**Annual Fund Operating Expenses**

**(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)**

|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Standard**<br> **Class**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Service**<br> **Class**<br>|
| Management Fee | 0.31% | 0.31% |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees |  | 0.25% |
| Other Expenses | 0.06% | 0.06% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.37% | 0.62% |

**Example**

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example illustrates the hypothetical expenses that you would incur over the time periods indicated if you invest $10,000 in the Fund's shares. The example also assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same. This example reflects the net operating expenses with fee waiver for the one-year contractual period and the total operating expenses without fee waiver for the remaining time periods shown below. Your actual costs may be higher or lower than this example. This example does not reflect any variable contract expenses. If variable contract expenses were included, the expenses shown would be higher. The results apply whether or not you redeem your investment at the end of the given period.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund 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 fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 52% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

Franklin Advisers, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser") serves as the Fund's sub-adviser. The Sub-Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's assets.

------

The Fund seeks to achieve a higher risk-adjusted performance than the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index") over the long term through a portfolio optimization process employed by the Fund's Sub-Adviser. The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. small and mid-capitalization companies. The Fund may also have investments in large capitalization companies. The Fund primarily invests in a universe of the 2000 largest stocks of the Russell 2500 Index. As of March 31, 2026, the market capitalization of small and mid-capitalization companies in the Russell 2500 Index ranges from $85 million to $120 billion.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund holds 200 to 1000 of the common stocks in the Index. The Sub-Adviser selects such stocks on a monthly basis; however, it may change the position size of a stock, determine to buy a new stock or sell an existing one between its selection if the stock scores change materially or if there are adverse developments concerning a particular stock, an industry, the economy or the stock market generally. The Sub-Adviser may invest in both growth and value stocks.

The Sub-Adviser's selection process is designed to select stocks for the Fund that have favorable exposure to certain factors, including but not limited to – quality, value, sentiment, and alternative factors. Factors are common characteristics that relate to a group of issuers or securities that are important in explaining the returns and risks of those issuers' securities. The "quality" factor incorporates measurements related to profitability, leverage, management, signaling, and innovation metrics. The "value" factor incorporates measurements such as free cash flow and multiple-based valuation measures. The "sentiment" factor incorporates measurements such as analyst revisions and price momentum metrics. The "alternative" factor incorporates measurements related to positioning, such as short interest.

The Sub-Adviser uses a proprietary model to assign a quantitative factor score for each issuer in the Fund's investible universe based on that issuer's factor exposures. Each stock is then further analyzed based on the assigned factor scores, but taking into account certain sector weight limits and security weight limit constraints determined by, among others, the portfolio management team. The portfolio is rebalanced on a quarterly basis, but may be rebalanced on a monthly basis during periods of high volatility.

The Fund may invest in stock index futures and total return swaps to gain exposure to issuers or to equitize cash so that the Fund may remain invested in the equity market while facilitating shareholder redemptions.

**Principal Risks**

All mutual funds carry risk. Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks reflect the principal risks of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Market Risk.** The value of portfolio investments may decline. As a result, your investment in the Fund may decline in value and you could lose money.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Stock/Equity Investing Risk.** Stocks and other equities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. Equity prices overall may decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Active Management Risk.** The portfolio investments are actively-managed, rather than tracking an index or rigidly following certain rules, which may negatively affect investment performance. Consequently, there is the risk that the methods and analyses, including models, tools and data, employed in this process may be flawed or incorrect and may not produce desired results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Investment Style Factors Risk.** There can be no assurance that the multi-factor stock selection process of the Fund will enhance performance. Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Value Stocks Risk.** Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks, such as growth stocks. Value stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time, may not ever realize their potential value, and may even go down in price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Growth Stocks Risk.** Growth stocks, due to their relatively high market valuations, typically have been more volatile than value stocks. Growth stocks may not pay dividends, or may pay lower dividends, than value stocks and may be more adversely affected in a down market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Small- and Medium-Cap Company Risk.** The value of securities issued by small- and medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt market movements and may involve greater risks than investments in larger companies. These less developed, lesser-known companies may experience greater risks than those normally associated with larger companies. Small- and medium-sized companies also may be subject to interest rate risk, which is generally associated with fixed income securities, because these companies often borrow money to finance their operations; therefore, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Large-Cap Company Risk.** The Fund may invest a relatively large percentage of its assets in the securities of large capitalization companies. While securities in this capitalization range may represent a significant percentage of a market, the Fund's performance may be adversely affected if securities of large capitalization companies underperform that sector or the market as a whole.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Concentration Risk.** Investments that are concentrated in particular industries, sectors or types of investments may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than investments that are spread among a wider variety of industries, sectors or investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Regional Risk.** The Fund will generally have more exposure to the specific market, currency, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other risks in the regions or countries in which it invests. As a result, the Fund could experience substantial illiquidity, volatility or reduction in the value of its investments, as compared to a more geographically-diversified fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Derivatives Risk.** Derivatives or other similar instruments (referred to collectively as "derivatives"), such as futures, forwards, options, swaps, structured securities and other similar instruments, are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivatives may involve costs and risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the costs and risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives prices can be volatile, may correlate imperfectly with price of the applicable underlying asset, reference rate or index and may move in unexpected ways, especially in unusual market conditions, such as markets with high volatility or large market declines. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. Other risks include liquidity risk, which refers to the potential inability to terminate or sell derivative positions and for derivatives to create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. Further, losses could result if the counterparty to a transaction does not perform as promised. Derivatives that involve a small initial investment relative to the investment risk assumed can magnify or otherwise increase investment losses. This is referred to as financial "leverage" due to the potential for greater investment loss. Derivatives are also subject to operational and legal risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Liquidity Risk.** Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund cannot meet requests to redeem Fund-issued shares without significantly diluting the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. This may result when portfolio holdings may be difficult to value and may be difficult to sell, both at the time or price desired. Liquidity risk also may result from increased shareholder redemptions in the Fund. Actions by governments and regulators may have the effect of reducing market liquidity, market resiliency and money supply. Liquidity risk also refers to the risk that the Fund may be required to hold additional cash or sell other investments in order to obtain cash to close out derivatives or meet the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties. The Fund may have to sell a security at a disadvantageous time or price to meet such obligations. The Fund's liquidity risk management program requires that the Fund invest no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.

**Fund Performance**

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of choosing to invest in the Fund. The information shows: (a) how the Fund's Standard Class investment results have varied from year to year; and (b) how the average annual total returns of the Fund's Standard and Service Classes compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Standard Class shares, but does not reflect the impact of variable contract expenses. If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the average annual returns table does not reflect the impact of variable contract expenses. The Fund's past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Fund shares are available as underlying investment options for variable life insurance and variable annuity products issued by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ("Lincoln Life"), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York ("LNY"), and unaffiliated insurance companies. These insurance companies are the record owners of the separate accounts holding the Fund's shares. You do not buy, sell or exchange Fund shares directly – you choose investment options through your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. The insurance companies then cause the separate accounts to purchase and redeem Fund shares according to the investment options you choose. Fund shares also may be available for investment by certain funds of the Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust.

**Tax Information**

In general, contract owners are taxed only on Fund amounts they withdraw from their variable accounts. Contract owners should consult their contract Prospectus for more information on the federal income tax consequences to them regarding their indirect investment in the Fund. Contract owners also may wish to consult with their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of investments in variable contracts and the Fund, including application of state and local taxes.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and other Financial Intermediaries**

Shares of the Fund are available only through the purchase of variable contracts issued by certain life insurance companies. Parties related to the Fund (such as the Fund's principal underwriter or investment adviser) may pay such insurance companies (or their related companies) for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest and may influence the insurance company to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contracts. Such insurance companies (or their related companies) may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks) for the sale and retention of variable contracts that offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries to recommend variable contracts that offer Fund shares. The prospectus or other disclosure documents for the variable contracts may contain additional information about these payments, if any. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
