**The section of the Prospectus entitled "Management of the Trust — The Sub-Advisers — Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC" is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following information:** 

**Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC** ("Horizon"), 470 Park Avenue South, New York, New York 10016, serves as Sub-Adviser to the Active Allocated Portion of the 1290 VT Small Cap Value Portfolio. Horizon is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation. As of December 31, 2025, Horizon had approximately $9.6 billion in assets under management.

**Peter Doyle** is a Co-Portfolio Manager for the Active Allocated Portion of the 1290 VT Small Cap Value Portfolio. Mr. Doyle currently serves as the Co-Chief Executive Officer of Horizon. As a co-founder of Horizon, he has over forty years of investing experience and is the co-portfolio manager for several mutual funds, ETFs, private funds and separately managed accounts managed by Horizon. Mr. Doyle is a member of the firm's Investment Committee, which is responsible for general oversight of all portfolio management decisions across the firm. In addition to other outside business activities, Mr. Doyle is a Vice President of FRMO Corp., an affiliate of Horizon.

**James Davolos** is a Co-Portfolio Manager for the Active Allocated Portion of the 1290 VT Small Cap Value Portfolio. Mr. Davolos joined Horizon in 2005 and currently serves as the co-portfolio manager for an ETF and several mutual funds, private funds and separately managed accounts managed by Horizon. He began his investment career as a member of the trading desk and joined the investment team in December 2006. Mr. Davolos began his tenure on the investment team as a generalist analyst covering investment and research opportunities for various strategies managed by the firm.

------

**Matthew Houk'**s primary responsibility is to assist Messrs. Doyle and Davolos in communicating Horizon's investment strategy and research to clients. Mr. Houk joined the firm in 2008 and has responsibilities in both research and portfolio management. He is involved in the identification, analysis and monitoring of certain investment opportunities for the firm.

Horizon seeks to address potential conflicts of interest through the adoption of various policies and procedures, which include both electronic and physical safeguards. All personal and proprietary trading is also subject to Horizon's Code of Ethics and is monitored by Horizon's Legal and Compliance Department.

**\*\*\*** 

**The section of the SAI entitled "Appendix B — Portfolio Manager Information — Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC — Description of any Material Conflicts" is amended by deleting the sixth paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following information:** 

Furthermore, the Firm and its management persons have relationships or arrangements that may be material to the Firm's advisory business or to investors in the products and accounts managed by the Firm and that present potential or actual conflicts of interest. Texas Pacific Land Corporation ("TPL") and Miami International Holdings Inc. ("MIAX"), both of which are public companies whose shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange, are significant portfolio holdings in many of the advisory accounts managed by the Firm, including the allocated portion of the 1290 VT Small Cap Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio") that is sub-advised by the Firm. To the extent the Firm's policies and procedures prohibit a client account (e.g., the Portfolio) from trading in certain securities (e.g., TPL or MIAX stock or the stock of a company that has a material business relationship with TPL or MIAX) during certain periods of time, the account could be negatively impacted and the account's performance may not be what it would have been if the account was permitted to engage in such transactions. Furthermore, Firm personnel, including personnel who are or may be involved in the management of the Portfolio and other advisory accounts managed by the Firm, have personal investments in TPL and/or MIAX stock or the stock of a company that has a material business relationship with TPL and/or MIAX, and these personal investments present potential or actual conflicts of interest. As discussed above, the Firm's Code governs the manner in which employees may engage in personal securities transactions.

**The section of the SAI entitled "Appendix B — Portfolio Manager Information — Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC — Other Accounts Managed" is amended to include the following information:**
