| No investment strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. The Portfolio may gain exposure to foreign investments by investing in one or more of the Series Fund’s foreign portfolios. Each of those underlying portfolios has its own investment risks, including that it will not perform as expected. In addition, the Portfolio will bear a pro rata share of the underlying portfolios’ expenses. | |
