Strategy
The Portfolio invests in a variety of high-quality and, to a lesser extent, medium-quality fixed income securities, at least 80% of which will be short- and intermediate-term investment-grade securities. High quality fixed income securities are those rated the equivalent of A3 or better by Moody's Investors Services, Inc., or by another independent rating agency; medium-quality fixed income securities are those rated the equivalent of Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3 by Moody's or another independent rating agency. (Investment-grade fixed income securities are those rated the equivalent of Baa3 and above by Moody's.) The Portfolio is expected to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 1 to 4 years.

To meet the needs of many policyholders, we offer access to a suite of low-cost funds for an additional fee ranging from 0.10%-0.35% of the total amount of assets invested in the fund(s). See prospectus for further details.
