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

**Investment Objective**

Maximum long-term capital growth.

**Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio**

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Portfolio. The table and the Example below do not reflect the fees, expenses or withdrawal charges imposed by your variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract (the "Contract"). If Contract expenses were reflected, the fees and expenses in the table and Example would be higher. See the Contract prospectus for a description of those fees, expenses and charges.

**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 and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. 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; $82 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $255 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $444 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $990 |
| Class B | &nbsp;&nbsp; $107 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $334 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $579 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $1283 |

---

**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 112% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

Artisan Partners Limited Partnership ("Artisan Partners" or "Subadviser"), subadviser to the Portfolio, invests, under normal market conditions, substantially all of the Portfolio's assets in common stocks and similar securities, and invests at least 65% of the Portfolio's net assets in securities of non-U.S. companies located in a minimum of four different countries. The Portfolio invests primarily in developed markets but also may invest up to 35% of its net assets in emerging and less developed markets. The Portfolio typically holds securities representing at least 15 countries. The maximum investment in any single country is 30% of the Portfolio's net assets. The percentage limits above are measured using the market value of the Portfolio's assets at the time of purchase.

*Stock Selection*

Artisan Partners employs a fundamental stock selection process focused on identifying long-term growth opportunities to build a portfolio of non-U.S. growth companies of all market capitalizations. Artisan Partners seeks to invest in companies within its preferred themes with sustainable growth characteristics at attractive valuations that do not fully reflect their long-term potential.

------

■

**Themes.** Artisan Partners identifies long-term secular growth trends with the objective of investing in companies that have meaningful exposure to these trends. Artisan Partners' fundamental analysis focuses on those industry leaders with attractive growth and valuation characteristics that will be long-term beneficiaries of any structural change and/or trend.

■

**Sustainable Growth.** Artisan Partners applies a fundamental approach to identifying the long-term, sustainable growth characteristics of potential investments. Artisan Partners seeks high-quality companies that typically have a sustainable competitive advantage, a superior business model, and a high-quality management team.

■

**Valuation.** Artisan Partners uses multiple valuation metrics to establish a target price range. Artisan Partners assesses the relationship between its estimate of a company's sustainable growth prospects and its current valuation.

Artisan Partners constructs the portfolio without regard to index weightings. There are no restrictions on the size of the companies in which the Portfolio may invest. Artisan Partners may sell a security when Artisan Partners thinks the security is approaching full valuation, changing circumstances affect the original reasons for the security's purchase, the company exhibits deteriorating fundamentals, or more attractive opportunities are identified by Artisan Partners.

The Portfolio buys and sells non-U.S. currencies to facilitate transactions in portfolio securities because many of the Portfolio's investments typically are traded in currencies other than U.S. dollars. The Portfolio is also directly or indirectly exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates when it holds certain U.S. dollar-denominated securities, such as depositary receipts and participation certificates.

The Portfolio tries to maintain a cash position of no more than 5% of its net assets, although cash flows, including from contract owners' purchases and sales of Portfolio shares and the Portfolio's purchases and sales of portfolio securities, may cause the Portfolio's cash position to be larger or smaller. As a result, the Portfolio may at times hold more than 5% of its net assets in cash.

**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, the price of the Portfolio's shares or 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.

**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.

**Emerging Markets Risk.** In addition to all of the risks of investing in foreign developed markets, emerging market securities involve risks attendant to less mature and stable governments and economies, lower trading volume, trading suspension, security price volatility, proceeds repatriation restrictions, withholding and other taxes, some of which may be confiscatory, inflation, deflation, currency devaluation and adverse government regulations of industries or markets. As a result of these risks, the prices of emerging market securities tend to be more volatile than the securities of issuers located in developed markets.

**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.

**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.

**Portfolio Turnover Risk.** The investment techniques and strategies utilized by the Portfolio might result in a high degree of portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover rates will increase the Portfolio's transaction costs, which can adversely affect the Portfolio's performance.

**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 a broad-based securities market index. 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.

**Management**

**Adviser.** Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC ("BIA"), is the Portfolio's investment adviser.

**Subadviser.** Artisan Partners Limited Partnership is the subadviser to the Portfolio.

**Portfolio Managers. Mark L. Yockey**, CFA, a Managing Director of Artisan Partners, has managed the Portfolio since its inception in 2014. **Charles-Henri Hamker**, a Managing Director of Artisan Partners, has served as Associate Portfolio Manager of the Portfolio since its inception in 2014.

**Purchase and Sale of Portfolio Shares**

Shares of the Portfolio are only sold to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with BIA, to fund Contracts. For information regarding the purchase and sale of the Portfolio's shares, please see the prospectus for the relevant Contract.

**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. The Portfolio and its related companies, including BIA, may make 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.
