Nomura VIP Energy Series — Standard Class and Service Class

(formerly, Macquarie VIP Energy Series)

April 30, 2026

Before you invest, you may want to review the Series' statutory prospectus (and any supplements thereto), which contains more information about the Series and its risks. You can find the Series' statutory prospectus and other information about the Series, including its statement of additional information and most recent reports to shareholders, online at nomuraassetmanagement.com/vip-literature. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 800 523-1918. The Series' statutory prospectus and statement of additional information, both dated April 30, 2026 (and any supplements thereto), are incorporated by reference into this summary prospectus.

**What is the** **Series' investment objective?**

Nomura VIP Energy Series seeks to provide capital growth and appreciation.

**What are the** **Series' fees and expenses?**

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Series. The fee table and example do not reflect any fees or sales charges imposed by variable insurance contracts. If they did, the expenses would be higher.

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

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Class | Standard | Service |
| Management fees................................................................... | 0.85% | 0.85% |
| Distribution and service (12b-1) fees..................................................... |  | 0.25% |
| Other expenses .................................................................... | 0.20% | 0.20% |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 1 | Acquired fund fees and expenses sets forth the Series' pro rata portion of the cumulative expenses charged by the registered investment companies in which the Series invested during the last fiscal year. The actual acquired fund fees and expenses will vary with changes in the allocations of the Series' assets. These expenses are not direct costs paid by Series shareholders, and are not used to calculate the Series' NAV. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 2 | The total annual series operating expenses ratio shown above does not correlate to the expense ratio shown in the Financial Highlights table because that ratio does not include the acquired fund fees and expenses. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 3 | The Series' investment manager, Delaware Management Company (Manager), has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fees and/or pay/reimburse expenses (excluding any 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, short sale dividend and interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and nonroutine expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations) in order to prevent total annual series operating expenses from exceeding 0.84% of the Series' average daily net assets from April 30, 2026 through April 29, 2027. These waivers and reimbursements may only be terminated by agreement of the Manager and the Series. |

**Example**

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Series with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Series 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 reflects the Manager's expense waivers and reimbursements for the 1-year contractual period and the total operating expenses without waivers for years 2 through 10. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

**Portfolio turnover**

The Series 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 and may result in higher taxes when Series shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual series operating expenses or in the example, affect the Series' performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Series' portfolio turnover rate was 59% of the average value of its portfolio.

**What are the** **Series' principal investment strategies?**

Nomura VIP Energy Series seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in securities of companies within the energy sector, which includes all aspects of the energy industry, such as exploration, discovery, production, distribution or infrastructure of energy and/or alternative energy sources.

These companies may include, but are not limited to, oil companies; oil and gas drilling, equipment, and services companies; oil and gas exploration and production companies; oil and gas storage and transportation companies; natural gas pipeline companies; refinery companies; energy conservation companies; coal companies; transporters; utilities; alternative energy companies; and innovative energy technology companies. The Series also may invest in companies that are not within the energy sector but that are engaged in the development of products and services to enhance energy efficiency in the manufacturing, development, and/or providing of products and services.

The Series is nondiversified, meaning that it may invest a significant portion of its total assets in a limited number of issuers.

After conducting a top-down (assessing the market environment) market analysis of the energy industry and geopolitical issues and then identifying trends and sectors, the Van Eck Associates Corporation (the "Sub-advisor") uses a research-oriented, bottom-up (researching individual issuers) investment approach when selecting securities for the Series, focusing on company fundamentals and growth prospects. The Series invests in a blend of value and growth companies across the capitalization spectrum, which may include companies that are offered in initial public offerings (IPOs), and emphasizes companies that the Sub-advisor believes are strongly managed and can generate above average capital growth and appreciation. While the Sub-advisor typically seeks to invest a majority of the Series' assets in U.S. securities, the Series may invest up to 100% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Series typically holds a limited number of stocks (generally 35 to 50).

Many of the companies in which the Series may invest have diverse operations, with products or services in foreign markets. Therefore, the Series may have indirect exposure to various foreign markets through investments in these companies, potentially including companies domiciled or traded or doing business in emerging markets, even if the Series is not invested directly in such markets.

Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Sub-advisor uses the same type of analysis that it uses in buying securities to determine whether the security has ceased to offer significant growth potential, has sufficiently exceeded its target price, has become overvalued and/or whether the prospects of the issuer have deteriorated. The Sub-advisor also will consider the effect of commodity price trends on certain holdings, poor capital management or whether a company has experienced a change or deterioration in its fundamentals, its valuation or its competitive advantage. The Sub-advisor also may sell a security to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities, to reduce the Series' holding in that security or to raise cash.

**What are the principal risks of investing in the** **Series?**

Investing in any mutual fund involves the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest. Over time, the value of your investment in the Series will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the securities in the Series' portfolio. An investment in the Series may not be appropriate for all investors. The Series' principal risks include:

**Energy sector risk** — The risk that investment risks associated with investing in energy securities, in addition to other risks, include price fluctuation caused by real and perceived inflationary trends and political developments, the cost assumed in complying with environmental safety regulations, demand of energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other governmental regulations.

**Market risk** — The risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market — such as the stock or bond market — will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling.

**Value stock risk** — The risk that the value of a security believed by the Manager to be undervalued may never reach what is believed to be its full value; such security's value may decrease or such security may be appropriately priced. Value stocks are stocks of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor and, in the opinion of the Manager, undervalued.

2<br>

------

**Growth stock risk** — Growth stocks reflect projections of future earnings and revenue. These prices may rise or fall dramatically depending on whether those projections are met. These companies' stock prices may be more volatile, particularly over the short term.

**Nondiversification risk** — A nondiversified series has the flexibility to invest as much as 50% of its assets in as few as two issuers with no single issuer accounting for more than 25% of the series. The remaining 50% of its assets must be diversified so that no more than 5% of its assets are invested in the securities of a single issuer. Because a nondiversified series may invest its assets in fewer issuers, the value of its shares may increase or decrease more rapidly than if it were fully diversified.

**Limited number of securities risk** — The possibility that a single security's increase or decrease in value may have a greater impact on a series' value and total return because the series may hold larger positions in fewer securities than other series. In addition, a series that holds a limited number of securities may be more volatile than those series that hold a greater number of securities.

**Concentration risk** — The risk that a concentration in a particular industry will cause a series to be more exposed to developments affecting that single industry or industry group than a more broadly diversified series would be. A series could experience greater volatility or may perform poorly during a downturn in the industry or industry group because it is more susceptible to the economic, regulatory, political, legal and other risks associated with those industries than a series that invests more broadly.

**Liquidity risk** — The possibility that investments cannot be readily sold within seven calendar days at approximately the price at which a series has valued them.

**Initial public offering (IPO) risk** — The risk that any positive effect of investments in IPOs may not be sustainable because of a number of factors. Namely, a series may not be able to buy shares in some IPOs, or may be able to buy only a small number of shares. Also, the performance of IPOs generally is volatile, and is dependent on market psychology and economic conditions. To the extent that IPOs have a significant positive impact on a series' performance, this may not be able to be replicated in the future. The relative performance impact of IPOs also is likely to decline as a series grows.

**Foreign risk** — The risk that investments in foreign securities (particularly those of issuers in emerging markets) may be adversely affected by political instability, changes in currency exchange rates, inefficient markets and higher transaction costs, foreign economic conditions, the imposition of economic or trade sanctions, or inadequate or different regulatory and accounting standards.

**MLP risk** — The risk related to the Series' investment in MLPs. Energy infrastructure MLPs are subject to a variety of industry specific risk factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including those due to commodity production, volumes, commodity prices, weather conditions, terrorist attacks, etc. They are also subject to significant federal, state and local government regulation. Investment in MLPs may also have tax consequences for shareholders. If the Series retains its investment until its basis is reduced to zero, subsequent distributions will be taxable at ordinary income rates and shareholders may receive corrected 1099s.

**Foreign currency exchange transactions and forward foreign currency contracts risk** — The risk that a series' use of foreign currency exchange transactions and forward foreign currency contracts to hedge certain market risks (such as interest rates, currency exchange rates and broad or specific market movement) may increase the possibility of default by the counterparty to the transaction and, to the extent the Manager's judgment as to certain market movements is incorrect, the risk of losses that are greater than if the investment technique had not been used.

**Currency risk** — The risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies and between various foreign currencies may cause the value of an investment to decline.

**US government securities risk** — The risk that certain US government securities, such as securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Bank system (FHLB), are not backed by the "faith and credit" of the US government and, instead, may be supported only by the credit of the issuer or by the right of the issuer to borrow from the US Treasury.

**Active management and selection risk** — The risk that the securities selected by a series' management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices, or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. The securities and sectors selected may vary from the securities and sectors included in the relevant index.

**How has** **Nomura VIP Energy Series performed?**

The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Series. The bar chart shows changes in the Series' performance from year to year and the table shows how the Series' average annual total returns for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year or lifetime periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Series. The Series' past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Series will perform in the future. The returns reflect any expense caps in effect during these periods. The returns would be lower without the expense caps.

On April 30, 2021, Delaware Management Company became the Series' investment manager. The returns shown from before April 30, 2021 are from the Series' prior investment manager.

**Purchase and redemption of** **Series shares**

Shares are sold, directly or indirectly, to separate accounts of life insurance companies at net asset value (NAV). Please refer to the variable annuity or variable life insurance product contract prospectus for more information about the purchase and redemption of shares.

4<br>

------

**Tax information**

The dividends and distributions paid from the Series to the insurance company separate accounts will consist of ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both. Because shares of the Series must be purchased through separate accounts used to fund variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance contracts (variable contracts), such dividends and distributions will be exempt from current taxation by contract holders if left to accumulate within a separate account. You should refer to your variable contract prospectus for more information on these tax consequences.

**Payments to broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries**

If you purchase shares of the Series through a broker/dealer or other financial intermediary (such as an insurance company), the Series and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Series shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker/dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Series over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
