Prior to March 6, 2017, Brighthouse Funds Trust I was known as Met Investors Series Trust and Brighthouse Funds Trust II was known as Metropolitan Series Fund. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. This is past performance and is no guarantee of future results. A MetLife investment option may have a name and/or investment objective similar to that of another mutual fund with the same manager. Despite any similarity, the MetLife option is separate and distinct and will not have the same performance. Different performance will result from different investment policies, cash flows, fees, expenses and fund asset sizes. The performance shown may reflect, for some periods described, the management of previous investment managers. Please see the prospectus for more information. Waiver and/or reimbursement of investment management fees and certain fund expenses may have taken place for each of these portfolios in the past. Such waivers and/or reimbursements have the effect of increasing performance results. Certain investment options may have adopted, with respect to certain classes, a distribution plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. MetLife is paid the 12b- 1 fee under the plan. Please see the prospectus for more information. Asset allocation portfolios are "fund of funds" portfolios. Because of this two-tier structure, each asset allocation portfolio bears its own investment management fee and expenses as well as its pro rata share of the management fee and expenses of the underlying portfolios. The Contract Owner may be able to realize lower aggregate expenses by investing directly in the underlying portfolios instead of investing in an asset allocation portfolio. In that case, you would not receive the asset allocation services provided by an investment adviser. The performance shown for the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture s Class B shares for the period before February 12, 2002 is based on the performance of the s predecessor fund (Bond Debenture, a series of Cova Trust Series), as restated to reflect Class B s.25% 12b-1 fee.
