Summary Prospectus \| May 1, 2026

This summary prospectus is designed to provide investors with key Fund information in a clear and concise format. Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's complete prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's prospectus and other information about the Fund online at www.securianfunds.com/prospectus. You can also get this information at no cost by calling (800) 643-5728 or by sending an e-mail request to policyservices@securian.com. If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the prospectus and other information will also be available from your financial intermediary. The Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information, both dated May 1, 2026, are incorporated by reference into this summary prospectus and may be obtained free of charge, at the website, phone number or e-mail address noted above.

**Investment Objective**

The Fund seeks to provide growth of capital.

**Fees and Expenses**

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. **The table does not reflect charges assessed in connection with the variable life policies or variable annuity contracts, or qualified plans, that invest in the Fund. If these charges were included, the expenses shown in the table below would be higher.**

**Shareholder Fees**

(fees paid directly from your investment)

Not Applicable<br>

**Annual Fund Operating Expenses**

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

|:---|:---|
| Management Fees  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0.67<br> %<br>|
| Distribution (12b-1) Fees  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0.25<br> %<br>|
| Other Expenses  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0.04<br> %<br>|

**Expense Example.** This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds.

The example assumes an investment of $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then a redemption of all shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that the investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The example does not reflect the other fees and expenses related to a variable life insurance policy, variable annuity contract or qualified plan that invests in the Fund. If these other fees and expenses were included, the expenses shown in the example below would be higher. Although actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| $98 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $306 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $531 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $1178 |

---

**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 25.8% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of common stocks issued by large capitalization, growth-oriented companies that Nomura Investments Fund Advisers (NIFA), the Fund's investment sub-adviser, believes have a competitively advantaged business model, thereby eluding competition, and have the ability to sustain growth over the long term beyond investors' expectations. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in large capitalization companies, which typically are companies with market capitalizations of at least $10 billion at the time of acquisition. Growth- oriented companies are those whose earnings NIFA believes are likely to grow faster than the economy. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it may invest a significant portion of its total assets in a limited number of issuers.

In selecting securities for the Fund, NIFA begins its investment process by screening large-capitalization companies based on profitability (capital returns and margins) and growth (sales and earnings), while simultaneously utilizing fundamental analysis to assess any unique business attributes that validate those financial characteristics. NIFA uses a bottom-up (researching individual issuers) strategy in selecting securities for the Fund. NIFA seeks to invest for the Fund in companies that it believes possess a structural competitive advantage or durable market leadership position. NIFA looks for companies which serve large, addressable markets with a demonstrated ability to sustain unit growth and high profitability. NIFA also seeks to invest in companies that it believes have improving growth prospects or improving levels of profitability and returns.

A competitively advantaged business model can be defined by such factors as: brand loyalty, proprietary technology, cost structure, scale, exclusive access to data, or distribution advantages. Other factors considered include strength of management; ESG characteristics; level of competitive intensity; return of capital; strong balance sheets and cash flows; the threat of substitute products; and the interaction and bargaining power between a company, its customers, suppliers, and competitors. NIFA's process for selecting stocks is based primarily on fundamental research, but does utilize quantitative analysis during the screening process.

From a quantitative standpoint, NIFA concentrates on the level of profitability, capital intensity, cash flow and capital allocation measures, as well as earnings growth rates and valuations. NIFA's fundamental research effort tries to identify those companies that it believes possess a sustainable competitive advantage, an important characteristic which typically enables a company to generate above-average levels of profitability and the ability to sustain growth over the long-term. The Fund typically holds a limited number of stocks (generally 35 to 50).

Many of the companies in which the Fund may invest have diverse operations, with products or services in foreign markets. Therefore, the Fund may have indirect exposure to various foreign markets through investments in these companies, even if the Fund is not invested directly in such markets.

In general, NIFA may sell a security when, in NIFA's opinion, a company experiences deterioration in its growth and/or profitability characteristics, or a fundamental breakdown of its sustainable competitive advantages. NIFA also may sell a security if it believes that the security no longer presents sufficient appreciation potential; this may be caused by, or be an effect of, changes in the industry or sector of the issuer, loss by the company of its competitive position, poor execution by management, the threat of technological disruption and/or poor use of resources. NIFA also may sell a security to reduce the Fund's holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities or to raise cash.

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund was concentrated in the Information Technology sector.

**Principal Risks**

An investment in the Fund may result in the loss of money, and may be subject to various risks, which may be even greater during periods of market disruption or volatility, including the following types of principal risks:

<sup>▲</sup> **Market Risk** – Markets can be volatile, and stock prices change daily, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. As a result, the Fund's holdings can decline in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments or conditions that may cause a broad market decline. Different parts of the market, including different sectors and different types of securities, can react differently to these developments. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. At times, the Fund may hold a relatively high percentage of its assets in stocks of a particular market sector, which would subject the Fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of that sector. Additionally, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, meaning that conditions in one country or region may adversely affect issuers in another country or region, which in turn may adversely affect securities held by the Fund. In addition, certain events, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, war, the imposition of tariffs, trade wars, regional or global instability and other geopolitical events, have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

**2** *Summary Information*

------

<sup>▲</sup> **Growth Stock Risk** – Prices of growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks. Growth stocks may be more volatile or not perform as well as value stocks or the stock market in general.

<sup>▲</sup> **Large Company Risk** – Large capitalization companies may go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Large capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. Although the securities of larger companies may be less volatile than those of companies with smaller market capitalizations, returns on investments in securities of large capitalization companies could trail the returns on investments in securities of smaller companies.

<sup>▲</sup> **Holdings Risk** – The Fund typically holds a limited number of stocks (generally 40 to 60) and the Fund's portfolio manager also tends to invest a significant portion of the Fund's total assets in a limited number of stocks. As a result, the appreciation or depreciation of any one security held by the Fund may have a greater impact on the Fund's net asset value (NAV) than it would if the Fund invested in a larger number of securities or if the Fund's portfolio manager invested a greater portion of the Fund's total assets in a larger number of stocks.

<sup>▲</sup> **Company Risk** – A company may be more volatile or perform worse than the overall market due to specific factors, such as adverse changes to its business or investor perceptions about the company.

<sup>▲</sup> **Non-Diversification Risk** – A Fund that is a "non-diversified" mutual fund and, as such, its investments are not required to meet certain diversification requirements under federal law. Compared with "diversified" funds, a non-diversified fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of an issuer. Thus, a non-diversified Fund may hold fewer securities than other funds. A decline in the value of those investments would cause a non-diversified fund's overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held more diversified holdings.

<sup>▲</sup> **Sector Risk** – At times, the Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting business in a broadly related group of industries within an economic sector. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. Companies in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly.

<sup>▲</sup> **Concentration Risk** – the risk that the Fund's performance may be more susceptible to a single economic, regulatory or technological occurrence than an investment portfolio that does not concentrate its investments in a single industry. The Fund is subject to concentration risk if the Fund invests more than 25% of its total assets in a particular industry.

<sup>▲</sup> **Information Technology Sector Risk** – Investment risks associated with investing in the information technology sector, in addition to other risks, include the intense competition to which information technology companies may be subject; the dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel among information technology companies; effects on profitability from being heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights and the loss or impairment of those rights; obsolescence of existing technology; general economic conditions; and government regulation.

<sup>▲</sup> **Liquidity Risk** – Liquidity generally is related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Securities that have relatively less liquidity may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wider fluctuations in market value. Such securities may be more difficult to dispose of at their recorded values and are subject to increased spreads and volatility. Also, the Fund may not be able to dispose of illiquid, or relatively less liquid, securities when that would be beneficial at a favorable time or price. Certain investments that generally were liquid when the Fund purchased them may become relatively less liquid, or even deemed illiquid, sometimes abruptly.

<sup>▲</sup> **Risk of Stock Investing** – the risk that stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the Fund invests may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a company or a particular industry.

<sup>▲</sup> **Management Risk** – the risk that the Fund's performance is primarily dependent on the investment adviser's or investment sub-adviser's skill in evaluating and managing the Fund's holdings. There can be no guarantee that its decisions will produce the desired results, and the Fund may not perform as well as other similar mutual funds.

<sup>▲</sup> **Active Management Risk** – the risk that the Fund's investment adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies

*Summary Information* **3**

------

employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.

<sup>▲</sup> **ESG Investing Risk** – The Fund's investment sub-adviser may consider ESG factors that it deems relevant or additive, along with other material factors and analysis, when selecting investments for the Fund. The Fund's ESG criteria may cause the Fund to forgo opportunities to buy certain securities, or forgo opportunities to gain exposure to certain industries, sectors, regions and countries. In addition, the Fund may be required to sell a security when it might otherwise be disadvantageous for it to do so.

**Performance**

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and how the Fund's average annual returns over time compare to the return of a broad based index. Effective May 1, 2021, the Fund changed its classification from "diversified" to "non-diversified." The returns prior to May 1, 2021 do not reflect this change and accordingly, the performance shown in the bar chart and table prior to that date may not be indicative of future returns. The chart and table do not reflect the charges and other expenses associated with the variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts, or qualified plans which invest in the Fund. If such charges and expenses were included, the returns shown below would be lower. The past performance of the Fund does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Fund shares are sold only to participating life insurance company separate accounts and qualified plans (financial intermediaries) and are not offered directly to the public.

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

When you purchase Fund shares through a life insurance company in connection with its variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies, or through another financial intermediary such as a broker-dealer that sells variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies, the Fund or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the life insurance company or broker-dealer to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's web site for more information.
