BRIGHTHOUSE FUNDS TRUST I SUMMARY PROSPECTUS April 27, 2026

AB Global Dynamic Allocation Portfolio

**Class B Shares**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Before you invest, you may want to review the Portfolio's Prospectus, which contains more information about the Portfolio and its <br> risks. You can find the Portfolio's Prospectus, reports to shareholders, and other information about the Portfolio (including the <br> documents listed below) online at https://dfinview.com/BHFT. You can also get this information at no cost by calling <br> 1-800-882-1292 or by sending an e-mail request to RCG@brighthousefinancial.com. The Portfolio's Prospectus and Statement of <br> Additional Information, both dated April 27, 2026, as supplemented from time to time, and the Portfolio's consolidated financial <br> statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, including the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated <br> financial highlights and the report of the Portfolio's independent registered public accounting firm, all of which are included in <br> Form N-CSR of the Portfolio, dated December 31, 2025, are all incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus. This <br> Summary Prospectus is intended for individuals who have purchased Contracts (as defined below) from insurance companies, <br> including insurance companies affiliated with Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC, and is not intended for use by other investors.<br>

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

**Investment Objectives**

Seeks capital appreciation and current income.

**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:

| Class B | &nbsp;&nbsp; $94 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $293 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $509 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $1131 |

---

**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 17% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio's subadviser, AllianceBernstein L.P. ("AllianceBernstein" or "Subadviser"), will allocate substantially all of the Portfolio's assets among individual securities, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and derivatives, such as forwards, futures, options and swaps, to achieve targeted exposure on a passive basis (based on relevant indices) to: global stocks, which include domestic equities and international equities; and global bonds, which include domestic government bonds and developed international government bonds. The Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in any combination of the following asset classes: emerging market equities and bonds, high yield debt, commodities, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS"), and real estate securities. The Portfolio is expected to have a normal strategic allocation of 55% in global equities, 40% in global bonds and 5% in real estate securities, which is subject to dynamic adjustments.

The Portfolio uses a Dynamic Asset Allocation Strategy, which makes adjustments to the Portfolio's long-term strategic asset allocation by systematically utilizing AllianceBernstein's proprietary asset allocation models to measure expected risks and returns, in an effort to respond to short-term market changes. By adjusting investment exposure among the various asset classes in the Portfolio, AllianceBernstein will attempt to reduce overall portfolio volatility and mitigate the effects of extreme market

------

environments, while continuing to seek capital appreciation. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down fluctuations in the value of a financial instrument or index over time. High volatility may result from rapid and dramatic price swings. Furthermore, AllianceBernstein believes that a greater focus on short-term dynamics can improve the distribution of returns through a reduction or mitigation of both extreme losses and outsized gains. The Portfolio's asset allocation exposures may be implemented and adjusted through transactions in individual securities, ETFs, or derivatives.

In implementing the Dynamic Asset Allocation Strategy, AllianceBernstein may make substantial and extensive use of derivatives. It is anticipated that the Portfolio's use of derivatives will be consistent with its overall investment strategy of obtaining and managing exposure to various asset classes. The Portfolio may use index futures, for example, to gain broad exposure to a particular segment of the market, while buying representative securities to achieve exposure to another. AllianceBernstein will choose in each case based on considerations of cost, liquidity and transaction speed. For more information about the derivative instruments in which the Portfolio may invest, please see "Investment Strategies and Risks" in the Statement of Additional Information. AllianceBernstein expects to maintain sufficient cash to serve as collateral for the derivative investments the Portfolio holds. The Portfolio's holdings may be frequently adjusted to reflect AllianceBernstein's assessment of changing risks, which could result in high portfolio turnover.

As noted, the Portfolio also will invest in globally diverse equity and fixed income securities. The Portfolio may invest in any type of equity or fixed income security, including common and preferred stocks, warrants and convertible securities, government and corporate bonds, real estate-related securities and inflation-protected securities. The Portfolio may invest in U.S., non-U.S. and emerging market issuers. The Portfolio may invest in securities of companies across the capitalization spectrum, including smaller capitalization companies. The Portfolio expects its investment in fixed-income securities to have a broad range of maturities and quality levels. The Portfolio is expected to be highly diversified across industries, sectors and countries, and will choose its positions from several market indices worldwide in a manner that is intended to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of those indices.

The Portfolio also may invest in commodities, currencies, and real estate-related securities. The Portfolio's commodities exposure may be implemented through investments in commodities or investments intended to provide exposure to one or more commodities, either by investing directly in such instruments, or indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary as discussed below.

To the extent that the Portfolio invests in non-U.S. Dollar denominated investments, AllianceBernstein will integrate the risks of foreign currency into its investment and asset allocation

decision making. AllianceBernstein may seek to hedge the currency exposure resulting from the Portfolio's investments through currency-related derivatives or decide not to hedge this exposure.

AllianceBernstein will seek to limit the total expected volatility contribution of the equity-sensitive exposure of the Portfolio, which includes exposure to emerging market debt and high yield debt (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"), to 10%. While AllianceBernstein attempts to manage the Portfolio's volatility exposure to stabilize performance, there can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve the targeted volatility.

The Portfolio will also make use of an interest rate overlay that: (1) will use a combination of interest rate swaps, interest rate futures and total return swaps ("Interest Rate Derivatives") and (2) will have a notional value (meaning the fixed face value, rather than the market value, of these instruments) equal to approximately 25% of the Portfolio's net assets under normal market conditions. The percentage of the Portfolio's net assets represented by Interest Rate Derivatives may change in different market environments, but is normally expected to stay within a range of 20% to 30% of net assets. AllianceBernstein expects these instruments to provide additional diversification and balance the sources of risk in the Portfolio. Under certain market conditions, however, the investment performance of the Portfolio may be less favorable than it would be if the Portfolio did not use Interest Rate Derivatives. AllianceBernstein anticipates that under normal market conditions the Portfolio's Interest Rate Derivatives will have a maturity of approximately 10 years.

Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will adhere to the following guidelines:

■

Combined investments in global equity securities, real assets (including commodities, TIPS and real estate securities) and equity-sensitive securities (including emerging market debt and equities and high yield debt, which are deemed by AllianceBernstein to be more sensitive than developed market investment grade bonds to factors that affect the value of equity securities) are limited to 80% of the Portfolio's assets at market value at the time of investment.

■

Investments in foreign equity securities are limited to 60% of the Portfolio's assets at market value at the time of investment.

■

Investments in foreign fixed-income securities are limited to 40% of the Portfolio's fixed income allocation at market value at the time of investment.

The Portfolio may allocate up to 10% of its total assets to its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary, organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company (the "Subsidiary") in order to gain exposure to the commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax laws, rules and regulations that apply to regulated investment companies. AllianceBernstein also manages the assets of the Subsidiary.

**AB Global Dynamic Allocation Portfolio**

**2**

------

Generally, the Subsidiary will invest primarily in commodity-linked derivatives, including exchange-traded notes and total return swaps. Unlike the Portfolio, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivatives. The Portfolio and the Subsidiary will be subject to the Portfolio's fundamental investment restrictions and compliance policies and procedures on a consolidated basis. The Portfolio is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary and does not expect shares of the Subsidiary to be offered or sold to other investors.

**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.

**Volatility Management Risk.** Although the Subadviser attempts to adjust the Portfolio's overall exposure to volatility, there can be no guarantee that the Subadviser will be successful in managing the Portfolio's overall level of volatility. The Portfolio may not realize the anticipated benefits from its volatility management strategies or it may realize losses because of the investment techniques employed by the Subadviser to manage volatility, the implementation of those strategies by the Subadviser or the limitations of those strategies in times of extremely low volatility or extremely high volatility. Under certain market conditions, the use of volatility management strategies by the Subadviser may also result in less favorable performance than if such strategies had not been used. For example, if the Portfolio has reduced its overall exposure to equities to avoid losses in certain market environments, the Portfolio may forego some of the returns that can be associated with periods of rising equity values.

**Model and Data Risk.** When the quantitative models ("Models") and information and data ("Data") used in managing the Portfolio contain an error, are input or designed incorrectly, or prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any investment decisions made in reliance on the Models and Data may not produce the desired results and the Portfolio may realize losses. Models may cause the Portfolio to underperform other investment strategies and may not perform as intended in volatile markets. In addition, any hedging based on faulty Models and Data may

prove to be unsuccessful. Furthermore, the success of Models that are predictive in nature is dependent largely on the accuracy and reliability of the supplied historical data. All Models are susceptible to input errors which may cause the resulting information to be incorrect.

**Asset Allocation Risk.** The Portfolio's ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Subadviser's analysis of various factors and the mix of asset classes that results from such analysis, which may prove incorrect. The particular asset allocation selected for the Portfolio may not perform as well as other asset allocations that could have been selected for the Portfolio. The Portfolio may experience losses or poor relative performance if the Subadviser allocates a significant portion of the Portfolio's assets to an asset class that does not perform as the Subadviser anticipated, including relative to other asset classes or other subsets of asset classes. The Portfolio may underperform funds that allocate their assets differently than 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 and Futures Contract Risk.** The successful use of forward and futures contracts will depend upon the Subadviser's skill and experience with respect to such instruments and are subject to special risk considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of forward and futures contracts include (i) the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by the Portfolio and the price of the forward or futures contract; (ii) possible lack of a liquid market for a forward or futures contract and the resulting inability to close a forward or futures contract when desired; (iii) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (iv) the Subadviser's inability to predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors; (v) the possibility that the counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; (vi) if the Portfolio has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities to meet daily variation margin requirements, and

**AB Global Dynamic Allocation Portfolio**

**3**

------

the Portfolio may have to sell securities at a time when it is disadvantageous to do so; (vii) the possibility that the Portfolio may be delayed or prevented from recovering margin or other amounts deposited with a futures commission merchant or clearinghouse; (viii) the possibility that position or trading limits will preclude the Subadviser from taking positions in certain futures contracts on behalf of the Portfolio; and (ix) the risks typically associated with foreign investments to the extent the Portfolio invests in derivatives traded on markets outside the United States.

**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. 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.

**High Yield Debt Security Risk.** High yield debt securities, or "junk" bonds, may be more susceptible to market risk and credit and counterparty risk than investment grade debt securities because issuers of high yield debt securities are less secure financially and their securities are more sensitive to downturns in the economy. In addition, the secondary market for high yield debt securities may not be as liquid as that for higher rated debt securities. High-yield debt securities range from those for which the prospect for repayment of principal and interest is predominantly speculative to those which are currently in default on principal or interest payments or whose issuers are in bankruptcy.

**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 Portfolio's fixed-income portion will normally have a greater maturity or duration than will its benchmark. 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.

**Interest Rate Swap Risk.** The risk of interest rate swaps includes changes in market conditions that may affect the value of the contract or the cash flows, and the possible inability or unwillingness of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the agreement. Certain interest rate swap arrangements also involve the risk that they do not fully offset adverse changes in interest rates. Interest rate swaps may be illiquid and may be difficult to trade or value, especially in the event of market disruptions. Under certain market conditions, the use of interest rate swaps may result in less favorable performance than if such swap arrangements had not been used.

**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.

**Investment Company and Exchange-Traded Fund Risk.** An investment in an investment company or ETF involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying securities. An investment company or ETF may not achieve its investment objective or execute its investment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect the Portfolio's performance. The Portfolio must pay its pro rata portion of an investment company's or ETF's fees and expenses. Shares of a closed-end investment company or ETF may trade at a premium or discount to the net asset value of its portfolio securities.

**AB Global Dynamic Allocation 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 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.

**Short Position Risk.** The Portfolio will incur a loss from a short position if the value of the reference instrument increases after the time the Portfolio entered into the short position. Engaging in a short position may cause the Portfolio to lose more money than the actual cost of the short position and the Portfolio's potential losses may be unlimited if the Portfolio does not own the reference instrument and it is unable to close out of the short position. Any gain from a short position will be offset in whole or in part by the transaction costs associated with the short position. Short positions generally involve a form of leverage, which can exaggerate the Portfolio's losses.

**Commodities Risk.** Exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Portfolio to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. The Portfolio's ability to invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments may be limited by the Portfolio's intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, and could adversely affect the Portfolio's ability to so qualify.

**Subsidiary Risk.** By investing in the Subsidiary, the Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the commodities risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments in commodity-related instruments. There can be no assurance that the Subsidiary's investments will contribute to the Portfolio's returns. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Portfolio and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and could adversely affect the Portfolio, such as by reducing the Portfolio's investment returns. The Portfolio's ability to invest in the Subsidiary will potentially be limited by the Portfolio's intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, and might adversely affect the Portfolio's ability to so qualify.

**Real Estate Investment Risk.** Investments in real estate investment trusts and other real estate related securities may be adversely impacted by the performance of the real estate market generally or that of a particular sub-sector or geographic region.

**TIPS and Inflation-Linked Bonds Risk.** The value of inflation-protected securities generally fluctuates in response to changes in real interest rates, which are in turn tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if inflation were to rise at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates would decline, leading to an increase in the value of inflation-protected securities. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increased at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates would rise, leading to a decrease in the value of inflation-protected securities. When real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, inflation-indexed bonds, including TIPS, may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations. The inflation-protected securities markets are generally much smaller and less liquid than the markets for nominal bonds from the same issuers and as such can suffer losses during times of economic stress or illiquidity.

**Tax Risk.** In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded to a regulated investment company ("RIC") and its shareholders under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Portfolio must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from "qualifying income," meet certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet annual distribution requirements. The Portfolio's pursuit of its investment strategies will potentially be limited by the Portfolio's intention to qualify for such treatment and could adversely affect the Portfolio's ability to so qualify. The Portfolio can make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is unclear. If, in any year, the Portfolio were to fail to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded to a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were not to cure such failure within the required timeframe, the Portfolio would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Portfolio's net assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Portfolio could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for more information.

**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 broad-based securities market indices 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,
