With the respect to the Class 1, Class 1A, Class 2 and Class 4 shares prospectuses only, the first paragraph under the heading Principal investment strategies in the Global Small Capitalization Fund summary portion of the prospectus is amended in its entirety to read as follows: Principal investment strategies Normally, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in growth-oriented common stocks and other equity type securities of companies with small market capitalizations, measured at the time of purchase.

As a fund that seeks to invest globally, the fund will allocate its assets among securities of companies domiciled in various countries, including the United States and countries with emerging markets (but in no fewer than three countries). Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest significantly in issuers domiciled outside the United States (i.e., at least 40% of its net assets, unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the fund s investment adviser, in which case the fund would invest at least 30% of its net assets in issuers outside the United States). 2.
