**At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the "Trust") on December 8-9, 2025, the Board approved the appointment of Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. ("Loomis") as a new sub-adviser to the Fund, effective on or about February 17, 2026 ("Effective Date"). Loomis will replace two of the Fund's current sub-advisers, Franklin Advisers, Inc. ("FAV") and Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC ("Templeton"). There are no changes to the portions of the Fund's assets that are sub-advised by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC ("FMA") and Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (collectively, "Schroders" or "overlay manager").** 

#### As of the Effective Date, the Fund's Statutory Prospectus is revised as follows:
**1.** **All references to, and information regarding, FAV and Templeton are deleted in their entirety.** 

**2.** **The Fund's name is changed as noted. All references to the Fund's name are revised accordingly.**

**3.** **The information under the heading Principal Investment Strategies beginning on page 2 of the Fund's Statutory Prospectus is deleted and replaced with the following:** 

The Fund pursues its objective through investing primarily in equity securities, including common stocks and depositary receipts. Along with pursuing its investment objective, the Fund seeks to manage its overall portfolio volatility with a managed volatility strategy. This is a type of risk management sometimes referred to as an "overlay" because the risk management portion supplements the Fund's main investment portfolio.

Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation (the "Adviser") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. ("Loomis") and Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC ("FMA") serve as the Fund's sub-advisers. Each sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the portion of the Fund's assets that the Adviser allocates to such sub-adviser. The Adviser intends to allocate approximately 50% of the portion of the Fund's assets not subject to the overlay to Loomis and approximately 50% of the portion of the Fund's assets not subject to the overlay to FMA. Such allocations are subject to change at the discretion of the Adviser.

------

The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities issued by companies of any nation, including countries in emerging markets. Investments are primarily made in common stocks and may include those of companies of any size. The Fund's investments will generally be selected from among many different industries. As a general matter, the Fund will invest in a minimum of five different foreign countries.

Loomis employs a growth style of equity management, seeking to invest in companies with sustainable competitive advantages as compared to other companies, long-term structural growth drivers that may lead to above-average future cash flow growth, attractive cash flow returns on invested capital, and management teams focused on creating long-term value for shareholders. Loomis also aims to invest in companies when they trade at a significant discount to the estimate of intrinsic value (i.e., companies with share prices trading significantly below what the portfolio manager believes the share price should be). The Fund will consider selling a security when Loomis believes an unfavorable structural change occurs within a given business or the markets in which it operates, a critical underlying investment assumption is flawed, when a more attractive reward-to-risk opportunity becomes available, when the current price fully reflects intrinsic value, or for other investment reasons which Loomis deems appropriate. The Fund may also engage in foreign currency transactions (including foreign currency forwards and foreign currency futures) for hedging purposes, invest in options for hedging and investment purposes and invest in securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. Under normal market conditions, Loomis does not intend to hedge currency risk, which may cause the Fund to incur losses that would not have been incurred had the risk been hedged. Except as provided above, the Fund is not limited in the percentage of its assets that it may invest in these instruments.

FMA employs a research-driven, fundamental value strategy for the Fund. FMA invests primarily in undervalued securities (securities trading at a discount to fundamental value), including convertible securities. Investments are generally selected based on FMA's own analysis of the security's fundamental value, including an analysis of book value, cash flow potential, long-term earnings and multiples of earnings. FMA examines each investment separately and there are no set criteria as to specific value parameters, asset size, earnings or industry type.

*Managed Volatility Strategy.* Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (collectively, "Schroders" or "overlay manager") serve as sub-adviser and sub-sub-adviser to the Fund, respectively, to implement the managed volatility strategy. This managed volatility strategy consists of selling (short) positions in exchange-traded equity futures contracts to manage overall portfolio volatility and seeks to reduce the impact on the Fund's portfolio of significant market downturns during periods of high volatility. Schroders buys or sells (shorts) individual futures contracts on equity indices of domestic and foreign markets that it believes are highly correlated to the Fund's equity exposure. Schroders may also buy and sell fixed income futures and foreign currency derivatives (futures and/or forwards) as part of this strategy. Although up to 20% of the Fund's net assets may be used by Schroders to implement the managed volatility strategy, under normal market conditions, it is expected that less than 10% of the Fund's net assets will be used for this strategy. Schroders uses a proprietary volatility forecasting model to manage the assets allocated to this strategy. The managed volatility strategy is separate and distinct from any riders or features of your insurance contract.

Schroders will regularly adjust the level of exchange-traded futures contracts and/or foreign currency derivatives to seek to manage the Fund's overall net risk level, i.e., volatility. "Volatility" is a statistical measure of the dispersion of the Fund's investment returns. Schroders will seek to manage currency risk involved in foreign futures contracts by buying or selling (shorting) foreign currency derivatives (futures and/or forwards). Schroders' investment in exchange-traded futures and their resulting costs could limit the upside participation of the Fund in strong appreciating markets relative to unhedged funds. In situations of extreme market volatility, the exchange-traded futures could potentially reduce the Fund's net economic exposure to equity securities and foreign currency or increase the Fund's net economic exposure to fixed income securities to a substantial degree. The amount of exchange-traded futures may fluctuate frequently based upon market conditions.

------

Schroders may take a long position in equity index futures and/or foreign currency derivatives for the purpose of providing an equity and/or currency exposure generally comparable to the holdings of cash. This allows the Fund to be fully invested in the market by turning cash into an equity and/or currency position while still maintaining the liquidity provided by the cash.

**4.** **The information under the Principal Risks section beginning on page 3 of the Fund's Statutory Prospectus is deleted and replaced with the following:** 

All mutual funds carry risk. Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks reflect the principal risks of the Fund.

• **Market Risk**. The value of portfolio investments may decline. As a result, your investment in the Fund may decline in value and you could lose money.

• **Stock/Equity Investing Risk**. Equities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. Equity prices overall may decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices.

• **Issuer Risk**. The prices of, and the income generated by, portfolio securities may decline in response to various factors directly related to the issuers of such securities.

• **Active Management Risk**. The portfolio investments are actively-managed, rather than tracking an index or rigidly following certain rules, which may negatively affect investment performance. Consequently, there is the risk that the methods and analyses, including models, tools and data, employed in this process may be flawed or incorrect and may not produce desired results.

• **Value Stocks Risk**. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks, such as growth stocks. Value stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time, may not ever realize their potential value, and may even go down in price.

• **Growth Stocks Risk**. Growth stocks, due to their relatively high market valuations, typically have been more volatile than value stocks. Growth stocks may not pay dividends, or may pay lower dividends, than value stocks and may be more adversely affected in a down market.

• **Income Stocks Risk**. Income from stocks may be reduced by changes in the dividend policies of companies and the capital resources available for such payments at such companies. Depending upon market conditions, income producing common stock may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market sectors, thereby limiting the ability to produce current income.

• **Convertible Securities Risk**. Convertible securities share investment characteristics of both fixed income and equity securities. The value of these securities may vary more with fluctuations in the value of the underlying common stock than with fluctuations in interest rates. The value of convertible securities also may be less volatile than the underlying common stock. Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a convertible security is unable to meet its financial obligations or goes bankrupt.

• **Regional Risk**. The Fund will generally have more exposure to the specific market, currency, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other risks in the regions or countries in which it invests. As a result, the Fund could experience substantial illiquidity, volatility or reduction in the value of its investments, as compared to a more geographically-diversified fund.

------

• **Foreign Investments Risk**. Foreign investments have additional risks that are not present when investing in U.S. investments. Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. The value of foreign investments may be reduced by foreign taxes, such as foreign taxes on interest and dividends. Additionally, foreign investments include the risk of loss from foreign government or political actions including, for example, the imposition of exchange controls, the imposition of tariffs, economic and trade sanctions or embargoes, confiscations, and other government restrictions, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Investing in foreign investments may involve risks resulting from the reduced availability of public information concerning issuers. Foreign investments may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than comparable investments in U.S. issuers. In addition, certain foreign countries may be subject to terrorism, governmental collapse, regional conflicts and war, which could negatively impact investments in those countries.

• **Emerging Markets Risk**. Companies located in emerging markets tend to be less liquid, have more volatile prices, and have significant potential for loss in comparison to investments in developed markets.

• **Depositary Receipts Risk.** Depositary receipts are receipts issued by a bank or trust company and evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by foreign companies. Some foreign securities are traded in the form of American Depositary Receipts or Global Depositary Receipts. Depositary receipts are subject to the risks usually associated with foreign securities, including risks associated with investing in the particular country, including the political, regulatory, economic, social and other conditions or events occurring in the country, as well as fluctuations in its currency. In addition, depositary receipt holders may not have all the legal rights of shareholders and may experience difficulty in receiving shareholder communications.

• **Foreign Currency Risk**. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

• **Derivatives Risk**. Derivatives or other similar instruments (referred to collectively as "derivatives"), such as futures, forwards, options, swaps, structured securities and other similar instruments, are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivatives may involve costs and risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the costs and risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives prices can be volatile, may correlate imperfectly with price of the applicable underlying asset, reference rate or index and may move in unexpected ways, especially in unusual market conditions, such as markets with high volatility or large market declines. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. Other risks include liquidity risk, which refers to the potential inability to terminate or sell derivative positions and for derivatives to create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. Further, losses could result if the counterparty to a transaction does not perform as promised. Derivatives that involve a small initial investment relative to the investment risk assumed can magnify or otherwise increase investment losses. This is referred to as financial "leverage" due to the potential for greater investment loss. Derivatives are also subject to operational and legal risks.

• **Large Position Risk.** Holding relatively large positions in companies may result in holding a significant part of a company's total outstanding stock. Accordingly, sales of the stock, by the fund or others, could adversely affect the stock's price, leading to greater volatility for the investment.

• **Leverage Risk**. Investment in certain derivatives, including certain futures contracts, may have the economic effect of creating financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure, as well as the potential for greater loss. Losses on derivatives may exceed the amount invested. The use of leverage may also increase the Fund's duration and sensitivity to interest rate environments.

------

• **Small- and Medium-Cap Company Risk.** The value of securities issued by small- and medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt market movements and may involve greater risks than investments in larger companies. These less developed, lesser-known companies may experience greater risks than those normally associated with larger companies. Small- and medium-sized companies also may be subject to interest rate risk, which is generally associated with fixed income securities, because these companies often borrow money to finance their operations; therefore, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates.

• **Futures Risk**. A futures contract is considered a derivative because it derives its value from the price of the underlying security or financial index. The prices of futures contracts can be volatile, and futures contracts may be illiquid. In addition, there may be imperfect or even negative correlation between the price of the futures contracts and the price of the underlying securities. Losses on futures contracts may exceed the amount invested.

• **Managed Volatility Strategy Risk**. The success of the Fund's managed volatility strategy depends in part on Schroders' ability, as the overlay manager, to effectively and efficiently implement its risk forecasts and to manage the strategy for the Fund's benefit. The managed volatility strategy may depend upon one or more of the overlay manager's proprietary forecasting models and information and data from one or more third parties to support the proprietary forecasting models. There is no guarantee that the models or the data the models are based on will be accurate or that the Fund can achieve or maintain optimal risk targets. The Fund's performance may be negatively impacted in certain underlying markets as a result of reliance on these models. The Fund's performance also may be impacted by the Fund's use of short or long futures positions to implement the managed volatility strategy. Certain markets could negatively impact the success of the risk management strategy, such as rapidly and unpredictably changing markets, "v-shaped" markets (a sharp market sell-off followed by a strong rally retracing such sell-off), or other extreme or disrupted markets, each of which could cause the Fund to be invested in the underlying market when it declines or to be uninvested when the underlying market appreciates. Schroders seeking to manage currency risk could result in losses if currencies do not perform as expected.

• **Hedging Risk**. The success of a hedging strategy cannot be guaranteed. Effective hedging requires correctly assessing the degree of correlation between the performance of the instruments used in the hedging strategy and the performance of the investments in the portfolio being hedged, as well as continual recalculation, readjustment, and execution of hedges in an efficient and timely manner. For example, futures contract short positions may not provide an effective hedge because changes in futures contract prices may not track those of the underlying securities or indices they are intended to hedge.

• **ESG Integration Risk**. The investment process for the Fund may incorporate a wide range of considerations, which may include certain environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors. While the integration of ESG factors into the investment process has the potential to identify financial risks and contribute to long-term performance, ESG factors may not be considered for every investment decision. There is no guarantee that the integration of ESG factors will result in better performance.

• **Rule 144A Securities Risk.** Securities sold pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 are commonly known as "144A securities" and only may be resold under certain circumstances to other institutional buyers. As a result of the resale restrictions on 144A securities, there is a greater risk that they will be less liquid than SEC-registered securities.

------

• **Liquidity Risk**. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund cannot meet requests to redeem Fund-issued shares without significantly diluting the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. This may result when portfolio holdings may be difficult to value and may be difficult to sell, both at the time or price desired. Liquidity risk also may result from increased shareholder redemptions in the Fund. Actions by governments and regulators may have the effect of reducing market liquidity, market resiliency and money supply. Liquidity risk also refers to the risk that the Fund may be required to hold additional cash or sell other investments in order to obtain cash to close out derivatives or meet the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties. The Fund may have to sell a security at a disadvantageous time or price to meet such obligations. The Fund's liquidity risk management program requires that the Fund invest no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments

**7.** **The information under the heading Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies beginning on page 7 of the Fund's Statutory Prospectus is deleted and replaced with the following:** 

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide long-term capital growth, which it seeks to achieve through a flexible policy of investing primarily in stocks of companies organized in the United States or in any foreign nation. A portion of the Fund may also be invested in debt obligations of companies and governments of any nation. Any income realized will be incidental. This objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The Fund pursues its objective through a flexible policy of investing primarily in stocks of companies organized in the United States or in any foreign nation. Along with pursuing its investment objective, the Fund seeks to manage its overall portfolio volatility with a managed volatility strategy. This is a type of risk management sometimes referred to as an "overlay" because the risk management portion supplements the Fund's main investment portfolio.

Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation (the "Adviser") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. ("Loomis") and Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC ("FMA") serve as the Fund's sub-advisers. Each sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the portion of the Fund's assets that the Adviser allocates to such sub-adviser. The Adviser intends to allocate approximately 50% of the portion of the Fund's assets not subject to the overlay to Loomis and approximately 50% of the portion of the Fund's assets not subject to the overlay to FMA. Such allocations are subject to change at the discretion of the Adviser.

------

The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities issued by companies of any nation, including countries in emerging markets.

Under normal market conditions, Loomis does not intend to hedge currency risk, which may cause the Fund to incur losses that would not have been incurred had the risk been hedged. Except as provided above, the Fund is not limited in the percentage of its assets that it may invest in these instruments.

FMA employs a research-driven, fundamental value strategy for the Fund. FMA invests primarily in undervalued securities (securities trading at a discount to fundamental value), including convertible securities. Investments are generally selected based on FMA's own analysis of the security's fundamental value, including an analysis of book value, cash flow potential, long-term earnings and multiples of earnings. FMA examines each investment separately and there are no set criteria as to specific value parameters, asset size, earnings or industry type. Loomis and FMA assess the potential impacts of material environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on a company; consideration of ESG factors and risks is only one component of their assessment of eligible investments and may not be a determinative factor in their final decision on whether to invest in a security. The weight given to ESG factors may vary across types of investments, industries, regions and issuers; ESG factors and weights considered may change over time. Loomis and FMA do not assess every investment for ESG factors and, when they do, not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated.

*Managed Volatility Strategy.* Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (collectively, "Schroders" or "overlay manager") serve as sub-adviser and sub-sub-adviser to the Fund, respectively, to implement the managed volatility strategy. Schroders uses a proprietary volatility forecasting model and adjusts the assets within the portion of the Fund allocated by the Adviser to the managed volatility strategy (the "managed volatility sleeve"). This managed volatility strategy consists of selling (short) positions in exchange-traded equity futures contracts to manage overall portfolio volatility and seeks to reduce the impact on the Fund's portfolio of significant market downturns during periods of high volatility. Parameterization and implementation of the managed volatility strategy may be adjusted based upon changes in market conditions by the Adviser or overlay manager.

------

Schroders selects individual futures contracts on equity indices of domestic and foreign markets that it believes are highly positively correlated to the Fund's equity exposure. Schroders may also buy and sell fixed income futures and foreign currency derivatives (futures and/or forwards) as part of this strategy. Although up to 20% of the Fund's net assets may be allocated to the managed volatility sleeve, under normal market conditions, the Adviser generally expects to allocate less than 10% of the Fund's net assets to the managed volatility sleeve. While the Adviser maintains overall responsibility for determining the maximum amount of the Fund's assets which may be used in the managed volatility sleeve, Schroders will determine the specific amount of the Fund's assets to be used in the managed volatility sleeve on a daily basis. Schroders will be responsible for the day-to-day trading of assets within the managed volatility sleeve as well as the maintenance of the model used in managing the managed volatility strategy. The Adviser will remain responsible for the oversight of Schroders' activities, including the approval of any significant changes to the model. The managed volatility strategy is separate and distinct from any riders or features of your insurance contract.

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price on a future date. A "short position" would represent a contractual obligation to sell an equity index, fixed income instrument or foreign currency at a future date at a particular price. In contrast, a "long position" would represent a contractual obligation to buy an equity index, fixed income instrument or foreign currency at a future date at a particular price. A short position is generally used to protect against the possible decline in value of financial instruments.

Schroders will regularly adjust the level of exchange-traded futures contracts and/or foreign currency derivatives to seek to manage the overall risk level, i.e., volatility. "Volatility" is a statistical measure of the dispersion of the Fund's investment returns. Schroders will seek to manage currency risk involved in foreign futures contracts by buying or selling (shorting) foreign currency derivatives (futures and/or forwards). Schroders buys or sells (shorts) individual futures contracts on equity indices of domestic and foreign markets that it believes are highly positively correlated to the Fund's equity exposure. Schroders will sell (short) futures contracts on these indices to decrease the Fund's economic exposure to equities based upon Schroders' evaluation of market volatility. The short futures contracts are expected to increase in value as equity markets decline. Schroders may also buy and sell fixed income futures and foreign currency derivatives (futures and/or forwards) as part of this strategy. The amount of exchange-traded futures and/or foreign currency derivatives may fluctuate frequently based upon market conditions.

The Fund may be required to own cash or other liquid assets and post these assets with a broker as collateral to cover its obligation under the futures contracts. The Fund's investment in these exchange-traded futures and their resulting costs could limit the upside participation of the Fund in strong, appreciating markets relative to unhedged funds. In situations of extreme market volatility, the exchanged-traded futures could potentially reduce the Fund's economic exposure to equity securities and/or increase the Fund's economic exposure to fixed income securities to a substantial degree. Schroders may take a long position in futures for the purpose of providing an equity exposure generally comparable to the holdings of cash. This allows the Fund to be more fully invested in the equity market by turning cash into an equity position while still maintaining the liquidity provided by the cash.

The Fund's Board of Trustees may change the Fund's investment strategies or policies in the interest of shareholders without a shareholder vote, unless those strategies or policies are designated as fundamental. The Fund may change its 80% policy of investing in equity securities only upon 60 days' notice to shareholders.

**8.** **The information under the heading Principal Risks beginning on page 8 of the Fund's Statutory Prospectus is deleted and replaced with the following:** 

All mutual funds carry risk. Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks reflect the principal risks of the Fund.

------

**Market Risk**. The value of portfolio investments may decline. As a result, your investment in the Fund may decline in value and you could lose money. A decline in value could result from, among other things, a negative development of the issuer of a security, an industry, a sector of the economy, or the overall securities market. In addition, the occurrence of geopolitical conflicts, war or terrorist activities could have adverse impacts on markets in various and unpredictable ways. For instance, war, terrorism, social unrest, recessions, supply chain disruptions, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, political changes, diplomatic developments, or the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, and other similar measures, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics) and natural/environmental disasters can all negatively impact the securities markets, which could cause the Fund to lose value.

**Stock/Equity Investing Risk.** Equities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. Equity prices overall may decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. The value of stocks may decline due to general weakness or volatility in the stock markets or because of factors that affect a particular company or industry. Stock declines may result from, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic and/or social developments affecting the relevant market(s). In addition, increased inflation, tightening monetary policy or interest rate increases may negatively affect many issuers, which could have an adverse effect on stock prices.

**Issuer Risk.** The prices of, and the income generated by, portfolio securities may decline in response to various factors directly related to the issuers of such securities. These factors may include reduced demand for an issuer's goods or services, poor management performance, major litigation, investigations or other controversies related to the issuer, changes in the issuer's financial conditions or credit rating, changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or its competitive environment, and strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions or dispositions and the market response to any such initiatives.

**Active Management Risk.** The portfolio investments are actively-managed, rather than tracking an index or rigidly following certain rules, which may negatively affect investment performance. Consequently, there is the risk that the methods and analyses, including models, tools and data, employed in this process may be flawed or incorrect and may not produce desired results. This could cause the Fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.

**Value Stocks Risk.** Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks, such as growth stocks. Value stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time, may not ever realize their potential value, and may even go down in price. Value stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole or other types of stocks. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, funds that invest in value stocks may underperform other equity funds that employ different investment styles.

**Growth Stocks Risk**. Growth stocks, due to their relatively high market valuations, typically have been more volatile than value stocks. Growth stocks may not pay dividends, or may pay lower dividends, than value stocks and may be more adversely affected in a down market. The price of a growth stock may experience a larger decline on a forecast of lower earnings, a negative fundamental development, or an adverse market development. The growth style may, over time, go in and out of favor. At times when the growth investing style is out of favor, funds that invest in growth stocks may underperform other equity funds that employ different investment styles.

------

**Income Stocks Risk.** Income from stocks may be reduced by changes in the dividend policies of companies and the capital resources available for such payments at such companies. Income-producing value stocks of companies that have had a record of paying dividends could reduce or eliminate their dividend payments for many reasons, including poor business prospects or a downward turn in the economy in general. Depending upon market conditions, income producing common stock may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market sectors, thereby limiting the ability to produce current income.

**Convertible Securities Risk**. Convertible securities share investment characteristics of both fixed income and equity securities. The value of these securities may vary more with fluctuations in the value of the underlying common stock than with fluctuations in interest rates. The value of convertible securities also may be less volatile than the underlying common stock. Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a convertible security is unable to meet its financial obligations or goes bankrupt.

**Regional Risk.** The Fund will generally have more exposure to the specific market, currency, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other risks in the regions or countries, in which it invests. As a result, the Fund could experience substantial illiquidity, volatility or reduction in the value of its investments, as compared to a more geographically-diversified fund.

**Foreign Investments Risk.** Foreign investments have additional risks that are not present when investing in U.S. investments. Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. The value of foreign investments may be reduced by foreign taxes, such as foreign taxes on interest and dividends. Additionally, foreign investments include the risk of loss from foreign government or political actions including, for example, the imposition of exchange controls, the imposition of tariffs, economic and trade sanctions or embargoes, confiscations, and other government restrictions, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. Foreign governments may also impose a heavy tax on a company, withhold a company's payment of interest or dividends, seize assets of a company, take over a company, limit currency convertibility, or repatriation, or bar withdrawal of assets from the country. Investing in foreign investments may involve risks resulting from the reduced availability of public information concerning issuers. Foreign issuers generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards or to other regulatory practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. The volume of transactions in certain foreign markets remains considerably below that of the U.S. markets. Accordingly, foreign investments may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than comparable investments in U.S. issuers. Investing in local markets may require special procedures or local governmental approvals or other actions, any of which may involve additional costs. These factors also may affect the liquidity of a foreign investment. Foreign brokerage commissions and custodian fees also are generally higher than in the U.S. In addition, certain foreign countries may be subject to terrorism, governmental collapse, regional conflicts and war, which could negatively impact investments in those countries. Recent examples include conflict, loss of life and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and Hamas and Israel in the Middle East. The extent, duration and impact of these conflicts, related sanctions and retaliatory actions are difficult to ascertain, but could be significant and have severe adverse effects on the region, including significant adverse effects on the regional or global economies and the markets for certain securities and commodities. These impacts could negatively affect a Fund's investments in securities and instruments that are economically tied to the applicable region, and include (but are not limited to) declines in value and reductions in liquidity.

------

**Emerging Markets Risk.** Companies located in emerging markets tend to be less liquid, have more volatile prices, and have significant potential for loss in comparison to investments in developed markets. Emerging market countries may have especially unstable governments, economies based on only a few industries and securities markets that trade a small number of securities. Additional risks of emerging market investments may include: greater social, diplomatic, economic, and political instability; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of issuers; companies that are newly organized and small; less developed auditing and financial reporting standards, which may result in unavailability of material information about issuers; and less developed legal systems. The impact of infectious diseases in emerging market countries may be greater due to less-established health care systems. Emerging markets also may have different clearance and settlement procedures, which may make it difficult to engage in securities transactions. Settlement problems may result in missed investment opportunities, holding a portion of assets in cash, or delays in disposing of investments. Investments in emerging market countries may be affected by national policies that restrict foreign investment in certain issuers or industries. Sanctions, export and import controls and other intergovernmental actions may be undertaken against an emerging market country, which may result in the devaluation of the country's currency, a downgrade in the country's credit rating, and a decline in the value and liquidity of the country's securities. Sanctions could result in the immediate freeze of securities issued by an emerging market company or government, impairing the ability of the Fund to buy, sell, receive or deliver these securities.

**Depositary Receipts Risk.** Depositary receipts are receipts issued by a bank or trust company and evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by foreign companies. Some foreign securities are traded in the form of American Depositary Receipts or Global Depositary Receipts. Depositary receipts are subject to the risks usually associated with foreign securities, including risks associated with investing in the particular country, including the political, regulatory, economic, social and other conditions or events occurring in the country, as well as fluctuations in its currency. In addition, depositary receipt holders may not have all the legal rights of shareholders and may experience difficulty in receiving shareholder communications.

**Foreign Currency Risk**. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including rates of inflation, balance of payments and governmental surpluses or deficits, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.

**Derivatives Risk.** Derivatives or other similar instruments (referred to collectively as "derivatives"), such as futures, forwards, options, swaps, structured securities and other instruments, are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivatives may involve costs and risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the costs and risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives prices can be volatile, may correlate imperfectly with price of the applicable underlying asset, reference rate or index and may move in unexpected ways, especially in unusual market conditions, such as markets with high volatility or large market declines. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. Further, losses could result if the counterparty to a transaction does not perform as promised. Derivatives that involve a small initial investment relative to the investment risk can magnify or otherwise increase investment losses. This is referred to as financial "leverage" due to the potential for greater investment loss. Derivatives are also subject to operational and legal risks.

------

The performance of a derivative generally largely depends on the performance of its underlying asset, reference rate or index. If using derivative instruments is unsuccessful, performance may be worse than if no derivatives were used. When used for hedging purposes, there is a risk, especially under extreme market conditions, that a derivative may provide no such hedging benefit. Additionally, there is no guarantee that a liquid market will exist for a derivative position or that a derivative position will be able to be terminated, particularly with respect to "over-the-counter" instruments (investments not traded on an exchange). If the Fund is unable to close out a position on an options or futures contract, for example, the Fund would remain subject to the risk of adverse price movements until the Fund is able to close out the position. Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar instrument may also create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. Furthermore, counterparties to over-the-counter derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities, including bankruptcy or insolvency. Options and futures contracts are also subject to the creditworthiness of clearing organizations and exchanges. Futures and security options also are subject to the credit risk of futures commission merchants and broker-dealers, respectively. Derivatives can also be difficult to value, especially in declining markets.

Swap agreements may include equity, interest rate, index, total return, commodity, currency and credit default swaps. Swap agreements typically are contracts with a swap dealer, bank, or other institutional entity in which the parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on a particular set dollar or currency value of predetermined investments or instruments. Currently, some, but not all, swap transactions are subject to central clearing. Non-cleared swap agreements, including credit default swaps, involve greater risks than cleared swaps, including illiquidity risk and counterparty risk. Certain non-cleared swaps are subject to margin requirements that mandate the posting and collection of minimum margin amounts, which is intended to reduce some of the risks associated with these instruments. Eventually many swaps may be centrally cleared and exchange-traded. Although central clearing is expected to decrease counterparty risk because it interposes the central clearinghouse as the counterparty in bilaterally negotiated contracts, central clearing will not make swap transactions risk-free.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and the various exchanges have established limits referred to as "speculative position limits" on the maximum net long or net short positions that any person may hold or control in a particular futures contract, option on futures contract, and in some cases, over-the-counter transaction that is economically equivalent to certain futures or options contracts on physical commodities. Trading limits are imposed on the number of contracts that any person may trade on a particular trading day. An exchange or the CFTC may order the liquidation of positions found to be in violation of these limits and may impose sanctions or restrictions.

Changes in regulation relating to the Fund's use of derivatives and related instruments could potentially limit or impact the Fund's ability to invest in derivatives, limit the Fund's ability to employ certain strategies that use derivatives, and adversely affect the value or performance or derivatives and the Fund.

**Large Position Risk.** Holding relatively large positions in companies may result in holding a significant part of a company's total outstanding stock. Accordingly, sales of the stock, by the fund or others, could adversely affect the stock's price, leading to greater volatility for the investment.

**Leverage Risk**. Investments in certain derivatives, including certain futures contracts, may have the economic effect of creating financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure, as well as the potential for greater loss. Losses on derivatives may exceed the amount invested.

------

**Small- and Medium-Cap Company Risk.** The value of securities issued by small- and medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt market movements and may involve greater risks than investments in larger companies. These less developed, lesser-known companies may experience greater risks than those normally associated with larger companies. This is due to the greater business risks of smaller size and limited product lines, markets, distribution channels, and financial and managerial resources. Historically, the price of small and medium capitalization companies has fluctuated more than the larger capitalization stocks included in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index. The securities of companies with small and medium stock market capitalizations may trade less frequently and in limited volume. Small- and medium-sized companies also may have less certain prospects for growth and greater sensitivity to changing economic conditions. Small- and medium-sized companies also may be subject to interest rate risk, which is generally associated with fixed income securities, because these companies often borrow money to finance their operations; therefore, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates.

Prices of small- and medium-sized company stocks may fluctuate independently of larger company stock prices. Small- and medium-sized company stocks may decline in price as large company stock prices rise, or rise in price as large company stock prices decline. Many factors may lead to this result, such as current and anticipated global economic conditions or changes in interest rates.

**Futures Risk.** A futures contract is considered a derivative because it derives its value from the price of the underlying security or financial index. Futures contracts may have the economic effect of creating financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure, as well as the potential for greater loss. Losses on futures may exceed the amount invested. There also may be imperfect or negative correlation between the price of the futures contracts and the price of the underlying securities. In addition, there are significant differences between the securities and futures markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between the markets, causing a given hedge not to achieve its objectives. The degree of imperfect correlation depends on several factors such as variations in speculative market demand for futures and differences between the financial instruments being hedged and the instruments underlying the standard contracts available for trading. A decision as to whether, when and how to hedge involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived hedge may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected interest rate trends.

Futures exchanges may limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in certain futures contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached, no more trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movements but does not limit potential losses because the limit may work to prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions.

There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at a time when a fund seeks to close out a futures position, and the Fund would remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. In addition, there can be no assurance that an active secondary market will continue to exist.

------

**Managed Volatility Strategy Risk.** The success of the Fund's managed volatility strategy depends in part on Schroders' ability, as the overlay manager, to effectively and efficiently implement its risk forecasts and to manage the strategy for the Fund's benefit. The managed volatility strategy may depend upon one or more of the overlay manager's proprietary forecasting models and information and data from one or more third parties to support the proprietary forecasting models. There is no guarantee that the models or the data the models are based on will be accurate or that the Fund can achieve or maintain optimal risk targets. The Fund's performance may be negatively impacted in certain underlying markets as a result of reliance on these models. In low volatility markets the managed volatility strategy may not mitigate losses. In addition, the overlay manager may not be able to effectively implement the managed volatility strategy (through the purchases of exchange-traded ![LOGO](g30321dsp14.jpg) futures) during times of rapidly and unpredictably changing markets, market disruptions, or extreme market events. Any errors in the data or inefficiency in implementation of the models could cause the Fund to underperform or lose more money than investing without the managed volatility strategy or to not realize potential gains. Even effective implementation of the models may result in underperformance by the Fund in certain markets such as a strong increasing market or a "v-shaped" market. A "v-shaped" market is characterized by a sharp market sell-off followed by a strong market rally that retracts such sell-off, which could cause the Fund to be invested in the underlying market when it declines or to be uninvested when the underlying market appreciates. The constraints of the managed volatility model may result in underperformance, may limit the Fund's ability to participate in rising markets and may increase transaction costs. The Fund's performance may be lower than similar funds that do not use a managed volatility strategy. Any one of these factors could impact the success of the managed volatility strategy, and the Fund may not perform as expected. Schroders seeking to manage currency risk could result in losses if currencies do not perform as expected.

The Fund will use short or long futures on indexes to manage the Fund's volatility. The Fund's losses on such short futures positions could theoretically be unlimited as there is no limit as to how much the relevant index can appreciate in value.

**Hedging Risk.** The success of a hedging strategy cannot be guaranteed. Effective hedging requires correctly assessing the degree of correlation between the performance of the instruments used in the hedging strategy and the performance of the investments in the portfolio being hedged, as well as continual recalculation, readjustment, and execution of hedges in an efficient and timely manner. For example, futures contract short positions may not provide an effective hedge because changes in futures contract prices may not track those of the underlying securities or indices they are intended to hedge. Imperfect correlation may prevent the portfolio from achieving the intended hedge or expose the Fund to risk of loss. In addition, it is not possible to hedge fully or perfectly against any risk, and hedging entails its own costs.

**ESG Integration Risk.** The investment process for the Fund may incorporate a wide range of considerations, which may include certain environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors. The relevance and weightings of specific ESG factors can vary across individual portfolio holdings, asset classes, sectors and strategies. No one factor or consideration is determinative. While the integration of ESG factors into the investment process has the potential to identify financial risks and contribute to long-term performance, ESG factors may not be considered for every investment decision. There is no guarantee that the integration of ESG factors will result in better performance. Moreover, ESG information is in many instances qualitative and therefore subjective. There are significant differences in interpretations of what it means for a company to have positive or negative ESG characteristics. An assessment of ESG factors for the Fund may differ from the views of other investors and advisers. The approach to ESG integration may evolve and develop over time, both due to a refinement of investment decision-making processes to address ESG factors and risks, and because of legal and regulatory changes.

------

**Rule 144A Securities Risk.** Securities sold pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 are commonly known as "144A securities" and only may be resold under certain circumstances to other institutional buyers. 144A securities frequently trade in an active secondary market and generally are treated as "liquid." However, as a result of the resale restrictions on 144A securities, there is a greater risk that they will be less liquid than SEC-registered securities.

**Liquidity Risk**. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund cannot meet requests to redeem Fund-issued shares without significantly diluting the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. This may result when portfolio holdings may be difficult to value and may be difficult to sell, both at the time or price desired. Liquidity risk may result from increased shareholder redemptions in the Fund. An increase in shareholder redemptions could require the Fund to sell securities at reduced prices, which would in turn reduce the value of the Fund. In addition, the market for a particular holding may become illiquid due to adverse market or economic conditions, completely apart from any specific conditions in the market for a particular security. Actions by governments and regulators may have the effect of reducing market liquidity, market resiliency and money supply, such as through higher interest rates, tighter financial regulations and proposals related to open-end fund liquidity that may prevent the Fund from participating in certain markets. Liquidity risk also refers to the risk that the Fund may be required to hold additional cash or sell other investments in order to obtain cash to close out derivatives or meet the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties. The Fund may have to sell a security at a disadvantageous time or price to meet such obligations. The Fund's liquidity risk management program requires that the Fund invest no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
