**Global Atlantic Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Portfolio**

**Investment Objective:** The Portfolio seeks to provide total return consisting of capital appreciation and income.

**Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio:** This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Portfolio. The table and the example do not include any fees or sales charges imposed by your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract. If they were included, your costs would be higher. Please refer to your variable contract prospectus for information on the separate account fees and expenses associated with your contract.

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Shareholder Fees**<br> *(fees paid directly from your investment)* | Class I<br>Shares | Class II<br>Shares | Class III<br>Shares |
| Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases *(as a percentage<br> of offering price)* |  |  |  |
| Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) *(as a percentage of redemption<br> proceeds)* |  |  |  |
| Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Reinvested Dividends and<br>Other Distributions |  |  |  |
| Redemption Fee *(as a percentage of amount redeemed)* |  |  |  |
| **Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses**<br> *(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)* |  |  |  |
| Management Fees | 0.34% | 0.34% | 0.34% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees |  | 0.25% | 0.15% |
| Other Expenses<sup>(1)</sup> | 0.18% | 0.18% | 0.18% |
| Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses | 0.52% | 0.77% | 0.67% |

---

(1) The "Other Expenses" for Class II and Class III shares are based on estimated amounts.

**Example:** This 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. You would pay the same expenses if you did not redeem your shares. However, each variable contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not included in the Example. If these fees and expenses were included in the Example, your overall expenses would be higher. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same (except that the Example reflects any applicable contractual fee waivers/expense reimbursement arrangements for only the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| Class I | $53 | $167 | $291 | $653 |
| Class II | $79 | $246 | $428 | $954 |
| Class III | $68 | $214 | $373 | $835 |

**Portfolio Turnover:** The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities or instruments (or "turns over" its portfolio). These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. During the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 60% of the average value of its portfolio (130% including dollar roll transactions).

**Principal Investment Strategies:** In seeking to achieve the Portfolio's investment objective, the Portfolio's sub-adviser, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. ("GSAM" or the "Sub-Adviser"), invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes in fixed-income securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises ("U.S. Government Securities"), corporate debt securities, collateralized loan obligations (limited to no more than 15% of the Portfolio's net assets), privately issued adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage loans or other mortgage-related securities ("Mortgage-Backed Securities") and asset-backed securities. The Portfolio may also invest in custodial receipts, fixed-income securities issued by or on behalf of states, territories, and possessions of the United States (including the District of Columbia) ("Municipal Securities") and convertible securities.

The Portfolio may also engage in forward foreign currency transactions for both hedging and non-hedging purposes. The Portfolio also intends to invest in derivatives, including (but not limited to) interest rate futures, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps, which are used primarily to hedge the Portfolio's portfolio risks, manage the Portfolio's duration and/or gain exposure to certain fixed-income securities or indices. The Portfolio may purchase or sell Mortgage-Backed Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or sponsored enterprises ("Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities") on a delayed delivery or forward commitment basis through the to-be-announced ("TBA") market. With TBA transactions, the particular securities to be delivered must meet specified terms and standards.

The value of the Portfolio's investments in non-U.S. dollar denominated obligations (hedged or unhedged against currency risk) will not exceed 25% of its total assets measured at the time of purchase ("Total Assets") and 10% of the Portfolio's Total Assets may be invested in sovereign and corporate debt securities and other instruments of issuers in emerging market countries ("emerging countries debt"). Additionally, exposure to non-U.S. currencies (unhedged against currency risk) will not exceed 25% of the Portfolio's Total Assets. In pursuing its investment objective, the Portfolio uses the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") as its performance benchmark, but the Portfolio will not attempt to replicate the Index. The Portfolio may, therefore, invest in securities that are not included in the Index.

The Portfolio may invest in fixed-income securities rated at least BBB– or Baa3 at the time of purchase. Securities will either be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") or, if unrated, determined by GSAM to be of comparable credit quality. After its purchase, a portfolio security may be assigned a lower rating or cease to be rated, which may affect the market value and liquidity of the security. If this occurs, the Portfolio may continue to hold the security if GSAM believes it is in the best interest of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

The Portfolio's target duration range under normal interest rate conditions is expected to approximate that of the Index, plus or minus 1.5 years, and since the Portfolio's inception on November 1, 2017 through December 31, 2025, the duration of the Index has ranged between 5.75 and 6.53 years. "Duration" is a measure of a debt security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration of the Portfolio (or an individual debt security), the more sensitive its market price to changes in interest rates. For example, if market interest rates increase by 1%, the market price of a debt security with a positive duration of 3 years will generally decrease by approximately 3%. Conversely, a 1% decline in market interest rates will generally result in an increase of approximately 3% of that security's market price.

The Sub-Adviser employs a fundamental investment process that may integrate traditional fundamental factors alongside environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors. No one factor or consideration is determinative in the fundamental investment process.

**Principal Investment Risks: *As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Portfolio. Many factors affect the Portfolio's net asset value and performance. The following is a summary description of principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.***

***Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk:*** A collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. CLOs may charge management and other administrative fees.

------

***Convertible Securities Risk:*** The market value of a convertible security is usually inversely related to the market interest rate. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. A convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock into which it may be converted.

***Credit Default Swaps Risk:*** Credit default swaps may have as reference obligations one or more securities that are not currently held by the Portfolio. The protection "buyer" may be obligated to pay the protection "seller" an up-front payment or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract, provided generally that no credit event on a reference obligation has occurred. Credit default swaps involve special risks in addition to those mentioned above because they are difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial difficulty).

***Derivatives Risk:*** The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce the Portfolio's returns and/or increase volatility. The use of derivatives may also result in leverage, which can magnify the effects of changes in the value of investments, make such investments more volatile and expose the Portfolio to losses that exceed the initial amount invested. Many types of derivatives are also subject to the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Derivatives are subject to risks arising from margin requirements. In addition, the fluctuations in the values of derivatives may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the overall securities markets. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability to sell or otherwise close-out a derivatives position at an advantageous time or price could expose the Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult to value accurately. Derivative investments are further subject to regulatory risks, from both U.S. and foreign regulators that may impact the availability, liquidity and costs associated with such investments and potentially limit the ability of mutual funds to invest in derivatives.

***Emerging Markets Risk:*** Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging securities markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.

***Fixed Income Risk:*** The value of bonds and other fixed-income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in periods of volatility and rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed-income markets, making it more difficult to sell fixed-income holdings. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligations early, reducing the amount of interest payments), extension risk (repayments may occur more slowly if interest rates rise) and income risk (distributions to shareholders may decline where interest rates fall or defaults occur). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Portfolio's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

***Foreign Currency Risk:*** Exposure to foreign securities denominated in non-US dollar currencies will subject the Portfolio to currency trading risks that include market risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

***Foreign Investment Risk:*** Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, restrictions on capital movements, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, sanctions, and differing auditing and legal standards.

***Forward Currency Contracts Risk:*** Use of forward currency contracts can have the effect of reducing returns, limiting opportunities for gain and creating losses. Forward currency contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the value of foreign securities but allow the Portfolio to establish a fixed rate of exchange for a future point in time.

***Issuer Risk:*** The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance or the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer.

------

***Liquidity Risk:*** Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Portfolio will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors' interests, which may force the Portfolio to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. Large redemptions by shareholders may have a negative impact on the Portfolio's liquidity.

***Management Risk:*** The Portfolio's strategies may not produce the desired results, and may result in losses to the Portfolio.

***Market Risk:*** Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual securities. The market prices of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, increased government spending, social or political unrest or other events, or the threat or potential threat of one or more such events and developments, could also have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.

***Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk:*** Mortgage- and asset-backed securities differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back periodically over the life of the security rather than at maturity. An investor may receive unscheduled payments of principal due to voluntary prepayments, refinancings or foreclosures on the underlying loans. To the investor this means a loss of anticipated interest, and a portion of its principal investment represented by any premium the investor may have paid. Mortgage prepayments generally increase when interest rates fall. Mortgage-backed securities also are subject to extension risk. Rising interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and extend their life. This could cause the price of the mortgage-backed securities and the Portfolio's share price to fall and would make the mortgage-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. Issuers of asset-backed securities may have limited ability to enforce the security interest in the underlying assets, and credit enhancements provided to support the securities, if any, may be inadequate to protect investors in the event of default. Like mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

***Municipal Securities Risk:*** Municipal Securities are subject to credit/default risk, interest rate risk and certain additional risks. The Portfolio may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in the bonds of similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial development bonds, or in particular types of municipal securities (such as general obligation bonds, private activity bonds and moral obligation bonds). Generally, municipalities continue to experience difficulties in the current economic and political environment.

***Over-the-Counter Transactions Risk:*** The Portfolio engages in over-the-counter ("OTC") transactions, some of which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than transactions entered into on organized exchanges, with OTC transactions subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations.

***Portfolio Turnover Rate Risk:*** A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) involves correspondingly greater expenses, including higher transaction costs, which must be borne by the Portfolio and its shareholders.

***Sovereign Debt Risk:*** Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt.

***To Be Announced ("TBA") Securities Risk:*** TBA securities are standardized contracts for future delivery of fixed-rate mortgage pass-through securities in which the exact mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until shortly before settlement. TBA securities include when-issued and delayed delivery securities and forward commitments. TBA securities involve the risk that the security the Portfolio buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation.

***Underlying Money Market Fund Risk:*** Underlying money market funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an underlying money market fund and may be higher than other mutual

------

funds that invest directly in money market instruments and other investments. Because the Portfolio's investments include shares of the underlying money market funds, the Portfolio's risks include the risks of each underlying money market fund.

***U.S. Government Securities Risk:*** The U.S. government may not provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. It is possible that issuers of U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

**Performance:** The bar chart and performance table below show the variability of the Portfolio's returns, which is some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio. The bar chart shows performance of the Portfolio's Class I shares for each full calendar year since the Portfolio's inception and the table shows how the average annual total returns of the Portfolio's Class I shares compared with the returns of an index that measures broad market performance. The performance in the bar chart and the table does not include the effect of variable contract charges. If variable contract charges had been included, performance would have been lower. You should be aware that the Portfolio's past performance may not be an indication of how the Portfolio will perform in the future.

**Purchase and Sale of Portfolio Shares:** Shares of the Portfolio are intended to be sold to certain separate accounts of insurance companies. You and other purchasers of variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts will not own shares of the Portfolio directly. Rather, all shares will be held by a separate account for your benefit and the benefit of other purchasers. You may purchase and redeem shares of the Portfolio on any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open, or as permitted under your variable contract. Class II and Class III Shares are not currently offered.

**Tax Information:** It is the Portfolio's intention to distribute income and gains to the separate accounts. Generally, owners of variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts are not taxed currently on income or gains realized by the separate accounts with respect to such contracts. However, some distributions from such contracts may be taxable at ordinary income tax rates. In addition, distributions made to a contract owner who is younger than 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Investors should ask their own tax advisors for more information on their own tax situation, including possible state or local taxes. Please refer to your variable contract prospectus for additional information on taxes.

**Payments to Other Financial Intermediaries:** The Portfolio or the Adviser may pay insurance companies for the sale of Portfolio shares and/or other services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing insurance companies and your salesperson to recommend a variable contract and the Portfolio over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
