**Global Atlantic BlackRock Disciplined Core Portfolio**

**Investment Objective:** The Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

**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 | 0.39% | 0.39% | 0.39% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees |  | 0.25% | 0.15% |
| Other Expenses<sup>(1)</sup> | 0.14% | 0.14% | 0.14% |
| Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses | 0.53% | 0.78% | 0.68% |

---

(1) The "Other Expenses" for 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 | $54 | $170 | $296 | $665 |
| Class II | $80 | $249 | $433 | $966 |
| Class III | $69 | $218 | $379 | $847 |

---

**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 100% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies:** Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the equity securities of domestic large capitalization companies. Additionally, the Portfolio may invest in foreign securities. Securities will be selected using a proprietary quantitative model and will consist primarily of equity securities of companies with similar capitalizations of the companies included in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index. However, the Portfolio may invest in securities outside the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index capitalization range. The model systematically tracks and ranks the characteristics of approximately 1200 stocks of primarily large capitalization issuers located in the United States, but may also include foreign issuers, and is designed to select stocks based on an analysis of a wide range of factors, such as relative value, earnings quality, market sentiment, and thematic insights. The Portfolio's sub-adviser is BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BlackRock" or the "Sub-Adviser").

The Portfolio primarily seeks to buy common stock and may also invest in preferred stock and convertible securities listed in U.S. equity markets, but may also invest in foreign securities. The Portfolio may invest in securities of foreign issuers in the form of depositary receipts or other securities that are convertible into securities of foreign issuers.

Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock and securities or other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common stock. Preferred stock is a class of stock that often pays dividends at a specified rate and has preference over common stock in dividend payments and liquidation of assets. Convertible securities typically pay current income as either interest (debt security convertibles) or dividends (preferred stock), and their value usually reflects both the stream of current income payments and the market value of the underlying common stock.

The Portfolio may use derivatives, including futures, to gain equity exposure and to manage cash flows into or out of the Portfolio effectively. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from underlying market factors or another asset, such as a security, a commodity, a currency or an index.

**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.***

***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.

***Depositary Receipts Risk:*** American Depositary Receipts are receipts typically issued by an American bank or trust company that evidence underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. The Portfolio may invest in unsponsored Depositary Receipts. Depositary Receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted, including changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies.

***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.

------

***Equity Risk:*** Common and preferred stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

***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.

***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.

***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.

***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.

***Quantitative Investing Risk:*** Investments selected using quantitative analysis or "models" may perform differently than expected as a result of the factors used in the models, the weight placed on each factor, changes from the factors' historical trends, and technical issues in the construction and implementation of the models (including, for example, data problems and/or software issues). There is no guarantee that the use of these models will result in effective investment decisions for the Portfolio.

***Settlement Risk:*** Settlement risk is the risk that a settlement in a transfer system does not take place as expected. If the Portfolio cannot settle or is delayed in settling a sale of securities, it may lose money if the value of the security then declines or, if it has contracted to sell the security to another party, the Portfolio could be liable for any losses incurred.

**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. Because all of the Portfolio's shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, returns for the Portfolio's Class II shares differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses. 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 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.
