The Series primarily invests in common stocks of large-size companies. The Series may also invest in mid- and small-size companies.</div><div>The Series seeks to generate income by investing primarily in dividend paying companies. The Series may also own convertible securities. Convertible securities are usually preferred stocks or corporate bonds that can be exchanged for a set number of shares of common stock at a predetermined price. These securities offer higher appreciation potential than nonconvertible bonds and greater income potential than nonconvertible preferred stocks. The Series may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and income-generating equity securities. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real estate-related loans or interests.</div><div>Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL) serves as the Series’ sub-advisor and manages the Series’ assets.</div><div>Using a systematic bottom-up approach, the Series seeks to select securities that have above-average yields coupled with a demonstrated business quality, as seen through superior profitability, balance sheet strength, earnings stability and corporate sustainability. Stocks also need to have reasonable company valuations relative to their current growth prospects, and their peer group. All of these factors give insight into the outlook for a company, and identify companies poised for sustainable growth. Sustainable growth, if it occurs, may result in price appreciation for the company’s stock.</div> Nomura VIP Growth and Income Series primarily invests in common stocks that offer the potential for capital growth, current income or both. The Series primarily invests in common stocks of large-size companies. The Series may also invest in mid- and small-size companies. 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. <div>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.</div> <div>Company size risk — The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.</div> <div>Real estate industry risk — This risk includes, among others: possible declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes, and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the cleanup of, and liability to third parties resulting from, environmental problems; casualty for condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>Industry and sector risk — The risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.</div> <div>Redemption risk — If investors redeem more shares of a series than are purchased for an extended period of time, a series may be required to sell securities without regard to the investment merits of such actions. This could decrease a series’ asset base, potentially resulting in a higher expense ratio.</div> <div>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.

Under normal circumstances, the Series invests at least 80% of its net assets in large-capitalization companies, which typically are companies with market capitalizations of at least $10 billion at the time of acquisition. Growth-oriented companies are those whose earnings the Manager believes are likely to grow faster than the economy. The Series’ portfolio of assets is diversified.</div><div>In selecting securities for the Series, the Manager begins its investment process by screening large-capitalization companies based on profitability (capital returns and margins) and growth (sales and earnings), while simultaneously utilizing fundamental analysis to assess any unique business attributes that validate those financial characteristics. The Manager uses a bottom-up (researching individual issuers) strategy in selecting securities </div><div>for the Series. The Manager seeks to invest for the Series in companies that it believes possess a structural competitive advantage or durable market leadership position. The Manager looks for companies which serve large addressable markets with a demonstrated ability to sustain unit growth and high profitability. The Manager also seeks to invest in companies that it believes have improving growth prospects or improving levels of profitability and returns.</div><div>A competitively advantaged business model can be defined by such factors as: brand loyalty, proprietary technology, cost structure, scale, exclusive access to data, or distribution advantages. Other factors considered include strength of management; environmental. social and governance (ESG) characteristics; level of competitive intensity; return of capital; strong balance sheets and cash flows; the threat of substitute products; and the interaction and bargaining power between a company, its customers, suppliers, and competitors. The Manager’s process for selecting stocks is based primarily on fundamental research, but does utilize quantitative analysis during the screening process.</div><div>From a quantitative standpoint, the Manager concentrates on the level of profitability, capital intensity, cash flow and capital allocation measures, as well as earnings growth rates and valuations. The Manager’s fundamental research effort tries to identify those companies that it believes possess a sustainable competitive advantage, an important characteristic which typically enables a company to generate above-average levels of profitability and the ability to sustain growth over the long term. The Series typically holds a limited number of stocks (generally 35 to 50).</div><div>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, even if the Series is not invested directly in such markets.</div><div>In general, the Manager may sell a security when, in the Manager’s opinion, a company experiences deterioration in its growth and/or profitability characteristics, or a fundamental breakdown of its sustainable competitive advantages. The Manager also may sell a security if it believes that the security no longer presents sufficient appreciation potential; this may be caused by, or be an effect of, changes in the industry or sector of the issuer, loss by the company of its competitive position, poor execution by management, the threat of technological disruption and/or poor use of resources. The Manager also may sell a security to reduce the Series’ holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities or to raise cash.</div> Nomura VIP Growth Equity Series seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of common stocks issued by large-capitalization, growth-oriented companies that the Manager believes have a competitively advantaged business model, thereby eluding competition, and have the ability to sustain growth over the long term beyond investors’ expectations. 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. <div>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.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>Large-capitalization company risk — Large-capitalization companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. This potentially lower risk means that the Series’ share price may not rise as much as the share prices of funds that focus on smaller-capitalization companies.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>Information technology sector risk — The risk that investment risks associated with investing in the information technology sector, in addition to other risks, include the intense competition to which information technology companies may be subject; the dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel among information technology companies; effects on profitability from being heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights and the loss or impairment of those rights; obsolescence of existing technology; general economic conditions; and government regulation.</div> <div>Industry and sector risk — The risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector (such as information technology) will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.</div> <div>Government and regulatory risk — The risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect series performance.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>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.</div> How has Nomura VIP Growth Equity Series performed? <div>The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Series.

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 24% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.24 What are the Series’ principal investment strategies? <div>Nomura VIP Small Cap Value Series invests primarily in investments of small companies whose stock prices, in the portfolio managers’ opinion, appear low relative to their underlying value or future potential. Among other factors, the Manager considers the financial strength of a company, its management, the prospects for its industry, and any anticipated changes within the company that might suggest a more favorable outlook going forward. The Manager focuses on free cash flow in its individual stock selection, seeking companies that the Manager believes have a sustainable ability to buy back shares, lower debt, and/or increase or initiate dividends. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Series’ net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, will be in investments of small-capitalization companies (80% policy). The Series considers small-capitalization companies to be companies with a market capitalization generally less than 3.5 times the dollar-weighted, median market capitalization of the Russell 2000® Index at the time of purchase. The Series may invest up to 15% of its net assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs).</div><div>The Series’ 80% policy is nonfundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Series shareholders would be given at least 60 days’ notice prior to any such change.</div> Nomura VIP Small Cap Value Series invests primarily in investments of small companies whose stock prices, in the portfolio managers’ opinion, appear low relative to their underlying value or future potential. 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. <div>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.</div> <div>Industry and sector risk — The risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector (such as financial services) will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.</div> <div>Company size risk — The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.</div> <div>Interest rate risk — The risk that securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise. The risk is generally associated with bonds; however, because small- and medium-sized companies and companies in the real estate sector often borrow money to finance their operations, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates. A series may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.</div> <div>Real estate industry risk — This risk includes, among others: possible declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes, and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the cleanup of, and liability to third parties resulting from, environmental problems; casualty for condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>Government and regulatory risk — The risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect series performance.</div> <div>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.</div> How has Nomura VIP Small Cap Value Series performed? <div>The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Series.

Companies with quality characteristics will make shareholder friendly use of its cash flow, which would include, but is not limited to: dividend payments or increases, share repurchases, and repayment of debt. The Series may also invest up to 15% of its net assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Series may continue to hold stocks of mid-size companies that grow into larger companies and may also invest opportunistically in stocks of larger companies.</div><div>The Series uses a “bottom-up” approach to selecting investments. The Series uses fundamental research to search for companies that the Manager believes have one or more of the following: a strong balance sheet; experienced management; and stocks that are attractively priced. The Series attempts to stay broadly diversified, but it may emphasize certain industry sectors based upon economic and market conditions.</div><div>The Series may sell a stock if it becomes fully valued, its fundamentals have deteriorated or alternative investments become more attractive. The Series may also sell a stock if it grows into a large, well-established company, although it may also continue to hold such a stock irrespective of its size.</div> Nomura VIP Opportunity Series invests primarily in mid- and small-size companies that the Series’ Manager believes offer attractive valuation and quality characteristics. 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. <div>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.</div> <div>Company size risk — The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.</div> <div>Industry and sector risk — The risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector (such as industrials) will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.</div> <div>Industrials sector risk — The risk that the value of a series’ shares will be affected by factors particular to the industrials and related sectors (such as government regulation) and may fluctuate more widely than that of a series that invests in a broad range of sectors.</div> <div>Interest rate risk — The risk that securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise. The risk is generally associated with bonds; however, because small- and medium-sized companies and companies in the real estate sector often borrow money to finance their operations, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates. A series may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>Government and regulatory risk — The risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect series performance.</div> <div>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.</div> How has Nomura VIP Opportunity Series performed? <div>The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Series.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:</div> <div> <table cellspacing="0" style="width:100%;cellspacing:0;margin-left:0;border-bottom:1pt

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.

(Moody’s), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, determined by the Manager and Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor,” and together with the Manager, the “Management Team”) to be of comparable quality. These are commonly known as high yield bonds or “junk bonds” and involve greater risks than investment grade bonds. The Series may also invest in unrated bonds that the Management </div><div>Team judges to be of comparable quality. Unrated bonds may be more speculative in nature than rated bonds. The Series may also invest in US and foreign government securities and corporate bonds of foreign issuers. The Series may invest in bonds of any maturity or duration. The Series may invest up to 40% of its net assets in foreign securities; however, the Series’ total non-US-dollar currency exposure will be limited, in the aggregate, to no more than 25% of the Series’ net assets, and investments in emerging market securities will be limited to 20% of the Series’ net assets. Emerging market countries include those currently considered to be developing or emerging countries by the World Bank, the United Nations, the countries’ governments, or in the judgment of the Management Team. In selecting bonds for the portfolio, the Management Team evaluates the income provided by the bond and the bond’s appreciation potential as well as the issuer’s ability to make income and principal payments.</div> Nomura VIP Fund for Income Series primarily invests in corporate bonds rated at the time of purchase lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) or lower than Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, determined by the Manager and Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor,” and together with the Manager, the “Management Team”) to be of comparable quality. 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. <div>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.</div> <div>Interest rate risk — The risk that the prices of bonds and other fixed income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. Bonds and other fixed income securities with longer maturities or duration generally are more sensitive to interest rate changes. A series may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.</div> <div>Credit risk — The risk that an issuer of a debt security, including a governmental issuer or an entity that insures a bond, may be unable to make interest payments and/or repay principal in a timely manner.</div> <div>High yield (junk) bond risk — The risk that high yield securities, commonly known as “junk bonds,” are subject to reduced creditworthiness of issuers, increased risk of default, and a more limited and less liquid secondary market. High yield securities may also be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss of income and principal than are higher-rated securities.</div> <div>Foreign and emerging markets 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. Securities of issuers in emerging markets may be subject to greater risks than securities of issuers in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets may have less stable political and economic environments. In addition, there often is substantially less publicly available information about issuers and such information tends to be of a lesser quality. Economic markets and structures tend to be less mature and diverse and the securities markets may also be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility.</div> <div>Loans and other direct indebtedness risk — The risk that a series will not receive payment of principal, interest, and other amounts due in connection with these investments and will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower and the lending institution. A series’ ability to sell its loans or to realize their full value upon sale may also be impaired due to the lack of an active trading market, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, contractual restrictions, and extended trade settlement periods. In addition, certain loans in which a series invests may not be considered securities. A series therefore may not be able to rely upon the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws with respect to these investments.</div> <div>Valuation risk — The risk that a less liquid secondary market may make it more difficult for a series to obtain precise valuations of certain securities in its portfolio.</div> <div>Redemption risk — If investors redeem more shares of a series than are purchased for an extended period of time, a series may be required to sell securities without regard to the investment merits of such actions. This could decrease a series’ asset base, potentially resulting in a higher expense ratio.</div> <div>Government and regulatory risk — The risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect series performance.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>Restricted securities risk — The risk that restricted securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and there can be no assurance of a ready market for resale. These securities include private placements or other unregistered securities, such as “Rule 144A Securities”, which are securities that may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (1933 Act). Privately placed securities, Rule 144A securities and other restricted securities may have the effect of increasing the level of series illiquidity to the extent a series finds it difficult to sell these securities when the Manager believes it is desirable to do so, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer, and the prices realized could be less than those originally paid, or less than the fair market value. At times, the illiquidity of the market, as well as the lack of publicly available information regarding these securities also may make it difficult to determine the fair market value of such securities for purposes of computing the NAV of a series.</div> <div>New issue risk — New issues may have limited markets, making valuation and selling difficult. The market value of newly issued securities may fluctuate considerably.</div> <div>Distressed securities risk — The market for distressed securities and instruments is generally thinner and less active than other markets, which can adversely affect the prices at which distressed securities can be sold.</div> <div>Deferred payment securities risk — These securities may be subject to greater price fluctuations when interest rates change than securities that currently pay interest. During the time that interest payments are not being made on these securities, holders are deemed to receive income annually, even though cash is not received.</div> <div>Payment-in-kind securities risk — Payment-in-kind securities defer cash interest payments by treating them as additional principal. This results in higher total debt and the potential for increased default risk of the issuer.</div> <div>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.</div> How has Nomura VIP Fund for Income Series performed? <div>The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Series.

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 189% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 1.89 What are the Series’ principal investment strategies? <div>Under normal circumstances, Nomura VIP Investment Grade Series invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investment grade debt securities. Investment grade debt securities include those that are rated within the four highest ratings categories by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) or that are unrated but determined by the Manager to be of equivalent quality.</div><div>The Series primarily invests in investment grade US corporate bonds. The Series may also invest in other investment grade securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the US Government or US Government-sponsored enterprises (some of which are not backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government) and investment grade mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. In making investment decisions, the Manager considers the outlook for interest rates, economic forecasts and market conditions, credit ratings, and its own analysis of an issuer’s </div><div>financial condition. The Manager attempts to stay broadly diversified, but may emphasize certain industries based on its outlook. The Manager usually will sell a security when it shows deteriorating fundamentals, it falls short of the portfolio manager’s expectations, or a more attractive investment is available. The Manager will not necessarily sell an investment if its rating is reduced.</div><div>To a lesser extent, the Series also invests in high yield, below investment grade corporate bonds (commonly known as “high yield” or “junk bonds”). High yield bonds include bonds that are rated below Baa3 by Moody’s or below BBB- by S&P as well as unrated bonds that are determined by the Manager to be of equivalent quality. The Manager will consider ratings assigned by ratings agencies in selecting high yield bonds, but relies principally on its own research and investment analysis. In managing its portion of the Series, the Manager focuses on investments it believes can generate attractive and consistent income. The Manager may sell a bond when it shows deteriorating fundamentals or it falls short of the Manager’s expectations. In addition, the Manager may also invest in active or passive exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that could expose the Series to high yield securities.</div><div>The Series may invest in securities of any maturity or duration, but may adjust its average portfolio weighted duration or maturity in anticipation of interest rate changes. For example, if the Series expects interest rates to rise, it may seek to reduce its average portfolio weighted duration and maturity. The Series may also invest in US Treasury futures and options on US Treasury futures to hedge against changes in interest rates.</div><div>Additionally, from time to time, in pursuing its investment strategies, the Series may hold significant investments (25% or more of its assets) in a specific market sector, including the financials sector.</div> Under normal circumstances, Nomura VIP Investment Grade Series invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investment grade debt securities. 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. <div>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.</div> <div>Interest rate risk — The risk that the prices of bonds and other fixed income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. Bonds and other fixed income securities with longer maturities or duration generally are more sensitive to interest rate changes. A series may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.</div> <div>Prepayment risk — The risk that the principal on a bond that is held by a series will be prepaid prior to maturity at a time when interest rates are lower than what that bond was paying. A series may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.</div> <div>Credit risk — The risk that an issuer of a debt security, including a governmental issuer or an entity that insures a bond, may be unable to make interest payments and/or repay principal in a timely manner.</div> <div>Industry and sector risk — The risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector (such as financials) will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.</div> <div>Derivatives risk — Derivatives contracts, such as futures, forward foreign currency contracts, options, and swaps, may involve additional expenses (such as the payment of premiums) and are subject to significant loss if a security, index, reference rate, or other asset or market factor to which a derivatives contract is associated, moves in an unanticipated direction. When used for hedging, the change in value of the derivatives instrument may also not correlate specifically with the currency, rate, or other risk being hedged, in which case a series may not realize the intended benefits. Derivatives contracts are also subject to the risk that the counterparty may fail to perform its obligations under the contract due to, among other reasons, financial difficulties (such as a bankruptcy or reorganization).</div> <div>Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities risk — Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, like other fixed income securities, are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and may also be subject to prepayment risk and extension risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that the principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities may be prepaid at any time, which will reduce the yield and market value of the securities and may cause the series to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Extension risk is the risk that principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities will be repaid more slowly than expected, which may reduce the proceeds available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities. In addition, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may decline in value, become more volatile, face difficulties in valuation, or experience reduced liquidity due to changes in interest rates or general economic conditions. Certain mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, real estate mortgage investment conduits, and stripped mortgage-backed securities, may be more susceptible to these risks than other mortgage-backed, asset-backed, or fixed-income securities.</div> <div>High yield (junk) bond risk — The risk that high yield securities, commonly known as “junk bonds,” are subject to reduced creditworthiness of issuers, increased risk of default, and a more limited and less liquid secondary market. High yield securities may also be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss of income and principal than are higher-rated securities.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>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.</div> How has Nomura VIP Investment Grade Series performed? <div>The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Series.

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 247% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 2.47 What are the Series’ principal investment strategies? <div>Under normal circumstances, Nomura VIP Limited Duration Bond Series will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investment grade bonds (80% policy). For purposes of this 80% policy, investment grade bonds also include other investment grade fixed-income securities.</div><div>Investment grade debt securities include those that are rated within the four highest ratings categories by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) or that are unrated but determined by the Manager to be of equivalent quality. The Series will maintain an average effective duration from one to three years. The Manager will determine how much of the Series’ assets to allocate among the different types of fixed income securities in which the Series may invest based on the Manager’s evaluation of economic and market conditions and its assessment of the returns and potential for appreciation that can be achieved from various sectors of the fixed income market.</div><div>The corporate debt obligations in which the Series may invest include bonds, notes, debentures, and commercial paper of US companies and, subject to the limitations described below, non-US companies. The Series may also invest in a variety of securities that are issued or guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the US government, and by various agencies or instrumentalities, which have been established or are sponsored by the US government, and, subject to the limitations described below, securities issued by foreign governments.</div><div>Additionally, the Series may invest in mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the US government, its agencies or instrumentalities, government-sponsored corporations, and mortgage-backed securities issued by certain private, nongovernment entities. The Series may also invest in securities that are backed by assets such as receivables on home equity and credit card loans, automobile, mobile home, recreational vehicle and other loans, wholesale dealer floor plans, and leases.</div><div>The Series may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below-investment-grade securities (also known as high yield or “junk” bonds).</div><div>The Series may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign securities, including up to 10% of its net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets. The Series’ total non-US dollar currency will be limited, in the aggregate, to no more than 10% of its net assets.</div><div>The Series may use a wide range of derivatives instruments, typically including options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward foreign currency contracts, and swaps. The Series will use derivatives for both hedging and nonhedging purposes. For example, the Series may invest in: futures and options to manage duration and for defensive purposes, such as to protect gains or hedge against potential losses in the portfolio without actually selling a security, or to stay fully invested; forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure; interest rate swaps to neutralize the impact of interest rate changes; credit default swaps to hedge against a credit event, to manage credit exposure, or to enhance total return; and index swaps to enhance return or to effect diversification. The Series will not use derivatives for reasons inconsistent with its investment objective and will limit its investments in derivatives instruments to 20% of its net assets.</div> Under normal circumstances, Nomura VIP Limited Duration Bond Series will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investment grade bonds (80% policy). 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. <div>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.</div> <div>Interest rate risk — The risk that the prices of bonds and other fixed income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. Bonds and other fixed income securities with longer maturities or duration generally are more sensitive to interest rate changes. A series may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.</div> <div>Credit risk — The risk that an issuer of a debt security, including a governmental issuer or an entity that insures a bond, may be unable to make interest payments and/or repay principal in a timely manner.</div> <div>High yield (junk) bond risk — The risk that high yield securities, commonly known as “junk bonds,” are subject to reduced creditworthiness of issuers, increased risk of default, and a more limited and less liquid secondary market. High yield securities may also be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss of income and principal than are higher-rated securities.</div> <div>Prepayment risk — The risk that the principal on a bond that is held by a series will be prepaid prior to maturity at a time when interest rates are lower than what that bond was paying. A series may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.</div> <div>Derivatives risk — Derivatives contracts, such as futures, forward foreign currency contracts, options, and swaps, may involve additional expenses (such as the payment of premiums) and are subject to significant loss if a security, index, reference rate, or other asset or market factor to which a derivatives contract is associated, moves in an unanticipated direction. When used for hedging, the change in value of the derivatives instrument may also not correlate specifically with the currency, rate, or other risk being hedged, in which case a series may not realize the intended benefits. Derivatives contracts are also subject to the risk that the counterparty may fail to perform its obligations under the contract due to, among other reasons, financial difficulties (such as a bankruptcy or reorganization).</div> <div>Leveraging risk — The risk that certain portfolio transactions, such as reverse repurchase agreements, short sales, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivatives instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing a series to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged, which may result in increased losses to the series.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>Loans and other direct indebtedness risk — The risk that a series will not receive payment of principal, interest, and other amounts due in connection with these investments and will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower and the lending institution. A series’ ability to sell its loans or to realize their full value upon sale may also be impaired due to the lack of an active trading market, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, contractual restrictions, and extended trade settlement periods. In addition, certain loans in which a series invests may not be considered securities. A series therefore may not be able to rely upon the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws with respect to these investments.</div> <div>Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities risk — Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, like other fixed income securities, are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and may also be subject to prepayment risk and extension risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that the principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities may be prepaid at any time, which will reduce the yield and market value of the securities and may cause the series to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Extension risk is the risk that principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities will be repaid more slowly than expected, which may reduce the proceeds available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities. In addition, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may decline in value, become more volatile, face difficulties in valuation, or experience reduced liquidity due to changes in interest rates or general economic conditions. Certain mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, real estate mortgage investment conduits, and stripped mortgage-backed securities, may be more susceptible to these risks than other mortgage-backed, asset-backed, or fixed-income securities.</div> <div>Valuation risk — The risk that a less liquid secondary market may make it more difficult for a series to obtain precise valuations of certain securities in its portfolio.</div> <div>Government and regulatory risk — The risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect series performance.</div> <div>Portfolio turnover risk — High portfolio turnover rates may increase a series’ transaction costs and lower returns.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>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.</div> How has Nomura VIP Limited Duration Bond Series performed? <div>The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Series.

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 3% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.03 What are the Series’ principal investment strategies? <div>Nomura VIP Emerging Markets Series invests primarily in a broad range of equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries include those currently considered to be developing by the World Bank, the United Nations, or the countries’ governments. These countries typically are located in the Asia-Pacific region, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central America, South America, and Africa. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Series’ net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in emerging market issuers (80% policy). The Series may invest in companies of any size and may invest more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of issuers located in the same country. The Series will primarily invest in countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Benchmark weightings may result in the Series investing over 25% in any one country. The Series may invest significantly in the Asia-Pacific region, which consists of Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China, Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and India, among other countries. As a result, the Series’ investments in the region may be particularly susceptible to risks in that region.</div><div>Although the Series invests primarily in companies from countries considered to be emerging, the Series will also invest in companies that are not in emerging countries: (1) if the Manager believes that the performance of a company or its industry will be influenced by opportunities in the emerging markets; (2) to maintain exposure to industry segments where the Manager believes there are not satisfactory investment opportunities in emerging countries; and (3) if the Manager believes there is the potential for significant benefit to the Series.</div><div>The Manager believes that although market price and intrinsic business value are positively correlated in the long run, short-term divergences can emerge. The Series seeks to take advantage of these divergences through a fundamental, bottom-up approach. The Series invests in securities of companies that the Manager believes have durable franchises when they are trading at a discount to the Manager’s intrinsic value estimate for that security.</div><div>The Manager defines durable franchises as those companies with potential to earn excess returns above their cost of capital over the long run. Durability analysis involves identification of a company’s source of competitive advantage and the ability of its management to maximize its return potential. The Manager prefers companies with large market opportunities in which to deploy capital, providing opportunities to grow faster than the overall economy.</div><div>Intrinsic value assessment is quantitatively determined through a variety of valuation methods including discounted cash flow, replacement cost, private market transaction, and multiples analysis.</div><div>The Series’ 80% policy is nonfundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Series shareholders would be given at least 60 days’ notice prior to any such change.</div> Nomura VIP Emerging Markets Series invests primarily in a broad range of equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries. 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. <div>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.</div> <div>Foreign and emerging markets 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. Securities of issuers in emerging markets may be subject to greater risks than securities of issuers in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets may have less stable political and economic environments. In addition, there often is substantially less publicly available information about issuers and such information tends to be of a lesser quality. Economic markets and structures tend to be less mature and diverse and the securities markets may also be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility.</div> <div>Geographic focus risk — The risk that local political and economic conditions could adversely affect the performance of a series investing a substantial amount of assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse events in any one country within the Asia-Pacific region may impact the other countries in the region or Asia as a whole. As a result, adverse events in the region will generally have a greater effect on the Series than if the Series were more geographically diversified, which could result in greater volatility in the Series’ net asset value and losses. Markets in the greater China region can experience significant volatility due to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties.</div> <div>Industry and sector risk — The risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector (such as information technology) will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.</div> <div>Company size risk — The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.</div> <div>Focused portfolio risk — Increases in the value of certain investments made by the Series may result in the Series holding a substantial percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, as is the case as of the date of this prospectus. As a result, the Series may be exposed to greater risk and volatility than funds with a more diversified portfolio. A decline in the value of any significant holding could have a material adverse effect on the Series’ net asset value and performance. This risk is further magnified if two or more of the Series’ large holdings are closely correlated, as is the case as of the date of this prospectus. In such cases, a single negative event or market development could cause simultaneous declines in multiple holdings, leading to greater losses for the Series and its shareholders.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>Government and regulatory risk — The risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect series performance.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>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.</div> How has Nomura VIP Emerging Markets Series performed? <div>The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Series.

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 77% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.77 What are the Series’ principal investment strategies? <div>Nomura VIP Total Return Series allocates its assets among stocks (US and foreign companies), bonds and money market instruments. The Series does not use a fixed formula for allocating investments between stocks and bonds. While the percentage of assets allocated to each asset class is flexible rather than fixed, the Series normally invests at least 50% of its net assets in stocks, stock equivalents, and convertible securities with the remainder in bonds, cash and money market instruments.</div><div>The percentage allocations within the above ranges may change due to, among other things, market fluctuations or reallocation decisions by the Manager. The Manager uses a dynamic asset-allocation framework to determine the proportion of the Series’ assets that will be allocated to the various asset classes, based on the market assessment and portfolio risk contribution for such asset classes. Reallocations outside of the above ranges are expected to occur infrequently.</div><div>The Series may also invest in high yield, below investment grade corporate bonds (commonly known as high yield or “junk bonds”). High yield bonds include bonds that are rated below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) as well as unrated bonds that are determined by the Manager to be of equivalent quality. The Manager will consider ratings assigned by ratings agencies in selecting high yield bonds but relies principally on its own research and investment analysis. In managing its portion of the Series, the Manager primarily focuses on investments it believes can generate attractive and consistent income. The Manager may sell a bond when it shows deteriorating fundamentals or it falls short of the Manager’s expectations. The Series may invest in credit-linked securities, provided that no more than 10% of the Series’ net assets are invested in credit-linked securities.</div><div>The Series may also invest in real estate related companies and real estate investment trusts (REITs).</div><div>In connection with its dynamic asset-allocation framework, the Manager will also manage a tactical/completion sleeve and such sleeve will typically vary from 0% to 20% of the Series’ total assets and primarily hold derivatives and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).</div><div>The Series may use a wide range of derivatives instruments, typically including forward foreign currency contracts, options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and credit default swaps. The Series will use derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging purposes; as a substitute for purchasing or selling securities; and to manage the Series’ portfolio characteristics. For example, the Series may invest in: futures and options to manage duration and for defensive purposes, such as to protect gains or hedge against potential losses in the portfolio without actually selling a security, or to stay fully invested; forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure; and credit default swaps to hedge against a credit event, to gain exposure to certain securities or markets, or to enhance total return.</div><div>The Series’ 80% policy is nonfundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Series shareholders would be given at least 60 days’ notice prior to any such change.</div> Nomura VIP Total Return Series allocates its assets among stocks (US and foreign companies), bonds and money market instruments. 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. <div>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.</div> <div>Credit risk — The risk that an issuer of a debt security, including a governmental issuer or an entity that insures a bond, may be unable to make interest payments and/or repay principal in a timely manner.</div> <div>Interest rate risk — The risk that the prices of bonds and other fixed income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. Bonds and other fixed income securities with longer maturities or duration generally are more sensitive to interest rate changes. A series may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.</div> <div>High yield (junk) bond risk — The risk that high yield securities, commonly known as “junk bonds,” are subject to reduced creditworthiness of issuers, increased risk of default, and a more limited and less liquid secondary market. High yield securities may also be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss of income and principal than are higher-rated securities.</div> <div>Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities risk — Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, like other fixed income securities, are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and may also be subject to prepayment risk and extension risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that the principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities may be prepaid at any time, which will reduce the yield and market value of the securities and may cause the series to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Extension risk is the risk that principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities will be repaid more slowly than expected, which may reduce the proceeds available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities. In addition, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may decline in value, become more volatile, face difficulties in valuation, or experience reduced liquidity due to changes in interest rates or general economic conditions. Certain mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, real estate mortgage investment conduits, and stripped mortgage-backed securities, may be more susceptible to these risks than other mortgage-backed, asset-backed, or fixed-income securities.</div> <div>Company size risk — The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.</div> <div>Derivatives risk — Derivatives contracts, such as futures, forward foreign currency contracts, options, and swaps, may involve additional expenses (such as the payment of premiums) and are subject to significant loss if a security, index, reference rate, or other asset or market factor to which a derivatives contract is associated, moves in an unanticipated direction. When used for hedging, the change in value of the derivatives instrument may also not correlate specifically with the currency, rate, or other risk being hedged, in which case a series may not realize the intended benefits. Derivatives contracts are also subject to the risk that the counterparty may fail to perform its obligations under the contract due to, among other reasons, financial difficulties (such as a bankruptcy or reorganization).</div> <div>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.</div> <div>Real estate industry risk — This risk includes, among others: possible declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes, and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the cleanup of, and liability to third parties resulting from, environmental problems; casualty for condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates.</div> <div>Exchange-traded fund risk — The risks of investing in an ETF typically reflect the risks of the instruments in which the ETF invests. Because ETFs are investment companies, a series will bear its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of an investment in an ETF. As a result, a series’ expenses may be higher and performance may be lower.</div> <div>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.</div> <div>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.</div> How has Nomura VIP Total Return Series performed? <div>The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Series.
