<sup>1</sup>

Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fee related to the Subadviser's waiving of its subadvisory fee on funds in which the Portfolio invests where the Subadviser or any of its affiliates serves as investment adviser. This arrangement may be modified or discontinued only with the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio.

**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, that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same, and that all fee waivers for the Portfolio will expire after one year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

| Class B | &nbsp;&nbsp; $99 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $311 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $541 | &nbsp;&nbsp; $1200 |

**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 8% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio's subadviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. ("Invesco" or "Subadviser"), will allocate across three asset classes, equities, fixed income and commodities. The Portfolio's exposure to these three asset classes will be achieved primarily through investments in derivative instruments, including but not limited to futures and swap agreements. The Portfolio may invest in derivatives and other investments that create economic leverage, and may also invest in U.S. and foreign government debt securities and other securities such as exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and commodity-linked notes. The Portfolio's equity investments will primarily be through derivative investments that offer exposure to developed countries, but may also offer exposure to emerging market

------

countries. The Portfolio's fixed income investments will primarily be through derivative investments that offer exposure to issuers in developed countries that are rated investment grade or unrated but deemed to be investment grade quality by Invesco, while the Portfolio's commodity markets exposure will primarily be to the precious metals, agriculture, energy and industrial metals sectors.

The Portfolio is managed using two different processes. One is strategic asset allocation, which reflects the portfolio managers' long-term views of the market. The portfolio managers apply their strategic process to, on average, approximately 80% of the Portfolio's portfolio risk, as determined by the portfolio managers' proprietary risk analysis. The other process is tactical asset allocation, which reflects the portfolio managers' shorter-term views of the market. The strategic and tactical asset allocation processes are intended to adjust the portfolio risk in a variety of market conditions.

The Portfolio will implement the portfolio managers' investment decisions through the use of derivatives and other investments that create economic leverage. The portfolio managers use derivatives and other leveraged instruments to create and adjust the Portfolio's exposure to the asset classes. The portfolio managers make these adjustments to balance risk exposure when they believe it will benefit the Portfolio. Using derivatives allows the portfolio managers to implement their views more efficiently and to gain more exposure to the asset classes than investing in more traditional assets, such as stocks and bonds, would allow. The Portfolio may hold long and short positions in derivatives but seeks to maintain a net long position. The Portfolio may use quantitative models as part of the investment selection process.

The Portfolio may allocate up to 25% 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. The Subsidiary is advised by Invesco and has the same investment objective as the Portfolio. The Subsidiary may invest in futures, exchange-traded notes ("ETNs"), swap agreements, commodity-linked notes and ETFs. Unlike the Portfolio, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivatives and other investments that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodities. The Subsidiary can also hold cash and cash equivalent instruments, including money market funds affiliated with Invesco, some or all of which may serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary's derivative positions. 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.

The Portfolio will normally maintain no less than 50% of its total assets (including assets held by the Subsidiary) in money market funds affiliated with Invesco, cash, and cash equivalent

instruments. Some of the cash holdings will serve as margin or collateral for the Portfolio's obligations under derivative transactions and also earn income for the Portfolio. The greater the Portfolio's positions in derivatives, as opposed to positions held in non-derivative instruments, the more the Portfolio will be required to maintain in cash and cash equivalents as margin or collateral for such derivatives. A significant portion of the cash and cash equivalent assets of the Portfolio may be invested directly or indirectly in money market instruments, which may include, but are not limited to, U.S. Government securities, U.S. Government agency securities, Eurodollar obligations, bankers' acceptances, short-term fixed income securities, overnight and/or fixed term repurchase agreements, money market fund shares, and cash and cash equivalents with one year or less term to maturity. The Portfolio may invest in securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

The derivatives in which the Portfolio may invest include but are not limited to futures contracts, swap agreements and commodity-linked notes. Futures contracts are standardized agreements between two parties to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument or commodity at a specific price at a specific future time. A swap contract is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, commodities, currencies or other instruments. Commodity-linked notes are notes issued by a bank or other sponsor that pay a return linked to the performance of a commodities index or basket of futures contracts with respect to all of the commodities in an index. In some cases, the return will be based on a multiple of the performance of the index and this embedded leverage will magnify the positive return and losses the Portfolio earns from these notes as compared to the index.

The Portfolio and the Subsidiary employ a risk management strategy to help minimize loss of capital and reduce excessive volatility. Relative to traditional balanced portfolios, the Portfolio will seek to provide greater capital loss protection during down markets. The Portfolio's portfolio managers will seek to accomplish this through a three-step investment process involving (1) asset selection within the three asset classes, (2) portfolio construction and (3) active portfolio positioning.

The first step of the investment process involves asset selection within the three asset classes (equities, fixed income and commodities). The portfolio managers select investments to represent each of the three asset classes from a universe of over fifty investments. The selection process (1) evaluates a particular investment's theoretical case for long-term excess returns relative to cash; (2) screens the identified investments against minimum liquidity criteria; and (3) reviews the expected correlation among the investments (meaning the likelihood that the value of the investments will move in the same direction at the same time), and the expected risk of each investment to determine whether the selected investments are likely to improve the expected risk adjusted return of the Portfolio.

**Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Portfolio**

------

The second step of the investment process involves portfolio construction. Proprietary estimates for risk and correlation seek to weight each asset class so that each contributes an equal amount to overall portfolio risk. The portfolio managers re-estimate the risk contributed by each investment and rebalance the portfolio on a month-to-month basis or when new investments are introduced to the Portfolio.

In the third step of the investment process, the portfolio managers actively adjust portfolio positions to reflect the near-term market environment, while remaining consistent with the balanced-risk long-term portfolio structure described in step two above. The portfolio managers use a systematic approach to evaluate the attractiveness of the investments in the portfolio relative to the expected returns of Treasury bills. The approach focuses on three concepts: valuation, the economic environment, and historic price movements. When the balance of these concepts is positive, the portfolio managers will increase exposure to an investment by purchasing more relative to the strategic allocation. In a like manner, the portfolio managers will reduce exposure to an investment relative to the strategic allocation when the balance of these concepts is negative.

The Portfolio's equity exposure normally will be achieved through investments in derivatives that track equity indices from developed and/or emerging market countries. The Portfolio's fixed income exposure normally will be achieved through derivative investments that offer exposure to issuers in developed markets that are rated investment grade or unrated but deemed to be investment grade quality by Invesco, including U.S. and foreign government debt securities having intermediate (5 – 10 years) and long (10 plus years) term maturities. The Portfolio's commodity exposure will be achieved through investments in commodity futures and swaps, commodity related ETFs, ETNs and commodity-linked notes, some or all of which will be owned by the Subsidiary.

ETNs are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities issued by a bank or other sponsor, the returns of which are linked to the performance of a particular market, benchmark or strategy.

Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down fluctuations in the value of a financial instrument or index over time. Higher volatility generally indicates higher risk and is often reflected by frequent and sometimes significant movements up and down in value. Invesco strategically targets a long-term, annualized volatility of 8%, but can adjust short-term targets between 6% and 10% through the tactical allocation process. While Invesco attempts to manage the Portfolio's volatility exposure to stabilize performance, there can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve the targeted volatility or remain within its target volatility range. The actual or realized volatility level for longer or shorter periods may be materially higher or lower than the annualized target level depending on market conditions, and therefore the Portfolio's risk exposure may be materially higher or lower than the level targeted by the portfolio managers. The

Portfolio's investment strategy seeks to provide total return with low to moderate correlation to traditional market indices, notwithstanding the expected short and intermediate term volatility in the net asset value of the Portfolio.

The Portfolio will have the potential for greater gains, as well as the potential for greater losses, than if the Portfolio did not use derivatives or other instruments that have an economic leveraging effect. Economic leveraging tends to magnify, sometimes significantly depending on the amount of leverage used, the effect of any increase or decrease in the Portfolio's exposure to an asset class and may cause the Portfolio's net asset value to be more volatile than a fund that does not use leverage. For example, if Invesco gains exposure to a specific asset class through an instrument that provides leveraged exposure to the class, and that leveraged instrument increases in value, the gain to the Portfolio will be magnified; however, if the leveraged instrument decreases in value, the loss to the Portfolio will be magnified.

**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. In addition, there can be no assurance that employing a "risk balanced" approach will achieve any particular level or return or will, in fact, reduce volatility or potential loss.

**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

**Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Portfolio**

**3**

------

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 will primarily invest in derivatives, such as futures contracts and swaps, to seek exposure to certain asset classes and enhance returns. To a lesser extent, the Portfolio may also invest in derivatives to "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, as well as increase transaction costs. 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. A risk of the Portfolio's use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets. 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.

**Leveraging Risk.** Derivatives and other transactions that give rise to leverage may cause the Portfolio's performance to be more volatile than if the Portfolio had not been leveraged. Leveraging

also may require that the Portfolio liquidate portfolio securities when it is not advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations. Leveraging may expose the Portfolio to losses in excess of the amounts invested or borrowed. Leverage can create an interest expense that would lower the Portfolio's overall returns. There can be no guarantee that a leveraging strategy will be successful.

**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.

**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 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.

**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.

**Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Portfolio**

------

**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.

**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 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.

**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.

**Short Sale and Short Position Risk.** The Portfolio will incur a loss from a short sale or short position if the value of the security sold short or the reference instrument, in the case of a short position, increases after the time the Portfolio entered into the short sale or short position. In addition, when the Portfolio engages in short sales, a lender may request, or market conditions may dictate, that securities sold short be returned to the lender on short notice, and the Portfolio may have to buy the securities sold short at an unfavorable price. Engaging in a short sale or short position may cause the Portfolio to lose more money than the actual cost of the short sale or short position and the Portfolio's potential losses may be unlimited if the Portfolio does not own the security sold short or the reference instrument and it is unable to close out of the short sale or short position. Any gain from a short sale or short position will be offset in whole or in part by the transaction costs associated with the short sale or short position. Short sales and short positions generally involve a form of leverage, which can exaggerate a Portfolio's losses.

**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.

**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

**Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Portfolio**

**5**

------

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.

**Rule 144A and Other Exempted Securities Risk.** In the U.S. market, private placements may typically be sold only to qualified institutional buyers, or qualified purchasers, as applicable. If an insufficient number of eligible buyers is interested in purchasing privately placed and other securities or instruments exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission registration (collectively "private placements") at a particular time, this could adversely affect the marketability of such investments and the Portfolio might be unable to dispose of them promptly or at reasonable prices, subjecting the Portfolio to liquidity risk. Even the Portfolio's holdings of liquid private placements may increase the level of Portfolio illiquidity if eligible buyers are unable or unwilling to purchase them at a particular time. The information that issuers of Rule 144A eligible securities are required to disclose to potential investors is much less extensive than that required of public companies and is not publicly available, and issuers of Rule 144A eligible securities can require recipients of the offering information (such as the Portfolio) to agree contractually to keep the information confidential, which could also adversely affect the Portfolio's ability to dispose of the security.

**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 indexes 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, performance would have been lower. As with all mutual funds, past returns are not a prediction of future returns.

**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.
