Index s 2017 Annual Report Commentary (unaudited) Advised by: Lincoln Investments Advisors Corporation The Conservative Index returned 10.72% (Standard Class shares with distributions reinvested) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, while its benchmark, the Conservative Index Allocation Composite 1 returned 11.22% and its broad-based benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 2, returned 3.54%. The Moderate Index returned 14.55% (Standard Class shares with distributions reinvested) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, while its benchmark, the Moderate Index Allocation Composite 3 returned 15.06% and its broad-based benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index 4, returned 21.83%. The Aggressive Index returned 16.97% (Standard Class shares with distributions reinvested) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, while its benchmark, the Aggressive Index Allocation Composite 5 returned 17.47% and its broad-based benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 21.83%. Because of expectations related to the pro-growth agenda espoused by newly-elected President Trump and U.S. Republicans, which included tax reform and less regulation, the US equity markets began 2017 positively as a continuation of the momentum experienced after Trump s election in November 2016. Furthermore, economies outside of the U.S. largely continued accommodative monetary policies and, in many cases, expansionary fiscal policies, that were also supportive to non-u.s. equity markets from the outset of the year. As the year progressed, the International Monetary Fund (the IMF ) upwardly revised economic growth estimates for many non-u.s. economies, including the European Union, Japan and many emerging market countries, with U.S economic growth being revised upward to a lesser extent. This synchronized global economic growth was the foundation for equity markets generating strong positive returns in 2017, along with non-u.s. equity markets outperforming U.S. equity markets for the first time since 2012 because many of those economies are in the early stages of an earnings recovery cycle. It is also notable that these returns were generated while encountering historically low volatility throughout the year. As we expected, the Federal Reserve continued its path toward normalization of interest rates, with three 25-basis point interest rate increases during 2017 that brought the target Fed Funds rate to 1.25% - 1.50%. Despite these increases to short-term interest rates and a forecast of continued increases in 2018 and beyond, longer term interest rates stayed stubbornly low as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield ended 2017 seven basis points lower than the end of 2016, and actually spent most of the year even lower. This dynamic, combined with credit spreads steadily tightening throughout 2017, allowed the major fixed income indexes to register positive returns. For the full year, there was wide dispersion across investment style and size. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks across most asset classes. Additionally, largecapstocksoutperformedsmallcapstocks, withemerging market equities being the notable exception where small cap stocks outperformed large cap stocks. The Information Technology sector was the leading performer, by a wide margin, in the U.S equity markets, with Energy and Telecom being the notable laggards. An interesting dynamic that manifested itself seemed to be that one or two industries seemed to dominate positive returns within each sector. For example, refining led the energy sector by a wide margin, homebuilders and casinos led the consumer sector, etc. The performance of the Index s for 2017 was mainly driven by the Funds asset allocation and the underlying index funds. The Funds solely utilize passive investment options within the Funds asset allocation. The performance results were in line with their respective benchmarks for U.S. equity, non-u.s. equity and fixed income asset classes. From an absolute return standpoint, the non-u.s. equity allocations posted the largest returns, outperforming U.S. equity markets and fixed income.

Conversely, allocations that favored growth or core generally contributed to the Funds relative performance. The fixed income allocations within the s delivered positive returns in 2017.

s Disclosure OF FUND EXPENSES (unaudited) For the Period July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 Each Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ( Lincoln Life ) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York ( LNY ). Lincoln Life and LNY hold each Fund s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Insurance company separate account beneficial owners incur ongoing costs such as the separate account s cost of owning shares of a Fund. The ongoing Fund costs incurred by beneficial owners are included in the Expense Analysis tables. The Expense Analysis tables do not include other costs incurred by beneficial owners, such as insurance company separate account fees and variable annuity or variable life contract charges. As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service( 12b-1 ) fees; and other Fund expenses. Shareholders of other funds may also incur transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees. These Expense Analyses are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Expense Analyses are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. Actual Expenses The first section of the tables, Actual, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the tables, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period. Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The second section of the tables, Hypothetical, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return. Thehypotheticalaccountvaluesandexpensescannotbeusedtoestimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Funds actual expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers and reimbursements in effect.
