To Virtus Variable Insurance Trust Investors:
I am pleased to present this semiannual report, which reviews the performance of your Series for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The investment picture appeared to brighten during the six-month period, with inflation declining, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) pausing its interest rate increases in June, and markets recovering from the declines of 2022. Despite the failures of several banks in March of 2023, the economy appeared to be holding its own.
Domestic and international equity indexes posted positive returns for the six months ended June 30, 2023. U.S. large-capitalization stocks returned 16.89%, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, outpacing small-cap stocks, which were up 8.09%, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. Within international equities, developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), gained 11.67%, while emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), returned 4.89%.
In fixed income markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury was 3.81% on June 30, 2023, down slightly from 3.88% on December 31, 2022. The broader U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was up 2.09% for the six-month period, while non-investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, gained 5.38%.
Thank you for entrusting the Virtus Funds with your assets. Please call our customer service team at 800-367-5877 if you have questions about your account or require assistance. We appreciate your business and remain committed to your long-term financial success.
Sincerely,

VIRTUS VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST
DISCLOSURE OF SERIES EXPENSES (Unaudited)
FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD OF January 1, 2023 TO June 30, 2023
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As an investor in a Virtus Variable Insurance Trust series (each, a “Series”), you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees and other expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance policy through which you invest. Therefore, the accompanying tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if the annuity or life insurance policy costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

* | Expenses are equal to the relevant Series’ annualized expense ratio, which is net of waived fees and reimbursed expenses, if applicable, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181) expenses were accrued in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365 to reflect the one-half year period. |
For Series which may invest in other funds, the annualized expense ratios noted above do not reflect fees and expenses associated with any underlying funds. If such fees and expenses had been included, the expenses would have been higher.
You can find more information about a Series’ expenses in the Financial Statements section that follows. For additional information on operating expenses and other investor costs, refer to that Series’ prospectus.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Series and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
($ reported in thousands)
The Trust is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Series in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.
A. | Security Valuation |
| The Trustees have designated the Investment Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Series’ policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period. |
| • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities). |
• Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
• Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Investment Adviser’s Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A description of the valuation techniques applied to a Series’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Illiquid, restricted equity securities and illiquid private placements are internally fair valued by the Investment Adviser’s Valuation Committee, and are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Series calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) at the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Series fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
VIRTUS VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2023
Debt instruments, including convertible bonds, and restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, activity of the underlying equities, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt instruments that are internally fair valued by the Investment Adviser’s Valuation Committee are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Listed derivatives, such as options, that are actively traded are valued at the last posted settlement price from the exchange where they are principally traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts and equity-linked instruments, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value a Series’ net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Series. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
B. | Security Transactions and Investment Income |
| Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recognized on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Series is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each Series amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt instruments are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds. |
| Dividend income from REITs is recorded using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in distributions received from such investments based on historical information and other industry sources. The return of capital portion of the estimate is a reduction to investment income and a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed their cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts. |
C. | Income Taxes |
| Each Series is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is the intention of each Series to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its investors. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made. |
| Certain Series may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each Series will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. |
| Management of the Series has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Each Series’ U.S. federal income tax return is generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after it is filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction. |
D. | Distributions to Investors |
| Distributions are recorded by each Series on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. |
E. | Expenses |
| Expenses incurred together by a Series and other affiliated mutual funds are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each such Series, except where allocation of direct expenses to each Series and each such other fund, or an alternative allocation method, can be more appropriately used. |
| In addition to the net annual operating expenses that a Series bears directly, the contract owners, as investors in the Series, indirectly bear the Series’ pro-rata expenses of any underlying mutual funds in which the Series invests. |
F. | Foreign Currency Transactions |
| Non-U.S. investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the foreign currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period. Cost of investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at the trade date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the trade and settlement date of a portfolio transaction is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the date income is accrued and the date it is paid is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. For fixed income instruments, the Series bifurcate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency |

| transactions. For equity securities, the Series do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. |
G. | Payment-In-Kind Securities |
| Certain Series may invest in payment-in-kind securities, which are debt or preferred stock securities that require or permit payment of interest in the form of additional securities. Payment-in-kind securities allow the issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater risk than securities that pay interest currently or in cash. |
H. | When-issued Purchases and Forward Commitments (Delayed Delivery) |
| Certain Series may engage in when-issued or forward commitment transactions. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are also known as delayed delivery transactions. Delayed delivery transactions involve a commitment by a Series to purchase or sell a security at a future date (ordinarily up to 90 days later). When-issued or forward commitments enable the Series to lock in what is believed to be an attractive price or yield on a particular security for a period of time, regardless of future changes in interest rates. Each Series records when-issued and forward commitment securities on the trade date. Each Series maintains collateral for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis begin earning interest on the settlement date. |
I. | Interest-Only and Principal-Only Securities |
| Certain Series may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities represent a participation in, or are secured by, or payable from, mortgage loans on real property, and may be structured in classes with rights to receive varying proportions of principal and interest. Stripped mortgage-backed securities include interest-only securities (IOs) which receive all of the interest, and principal-only securities (POs) which receive all of the principal. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rapid (slow) rate of principal payments may have an adverse (positive) effect on yield to maturity. Payments received for IOs are included in interest income. Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity and these adjustments are also included in interest income. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. Any paydown gains or losses associated with the payments received are included in interest income. If the underlying mortgage assets are greater than anticipated payments of principal, a Series may fail to recoup some or all of its initial investment in these securities. |
J. | Leveraged Loans |
| Certain Series may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. Leveraged loans are generally non-investment grade and often involve borrowers that are highly leveraged. The Series may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Leveraged loans are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the leveraged loan. A Series’ investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When investing in loan participations, a Series has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan participation and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Series generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the leveraged loan with the borrower. As a result, a Series may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the leveraged loan. When a Series purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. |
| A Series may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Leveraged loans may involve foreign borrowers and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Direct indebtedness of emerging countries involves a risk that the government entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay the principal and interest when due. |
| The leveraged loans have floating rate loan interests which generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally LIBOR, SOFR, the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. When a leveraged loan is purchased a Series may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, a Series may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a leveraged loan. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a leveraged loan by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid. |
| A Series may invest in both secured loans and “covenant lite” loans which have few or no financial maintenance covenants that would require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics. The lack of financial maintenance covenants in covenant lite loans increases the risk that the applicable Series will experience difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of such loans, which may result in losses, especially during a downturn in the credit cycle. |
K. | Warrants |
| The Series may receive warrants. Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt instrument or preferred stock and that give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price. Warrants may be freely transferable and are often traded on major exchanges. Warrants normally have a life that is measured in years and entitle the holder to buy common stock of a company at a price that is usually higher than the market price at the time the warrant is issued. Warrants may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, warrants do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant, the warrant will expire worthless. Warrants may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from |

| the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities. Similarly, the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an equity security warrant may be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock. Warrants may relate to the purchase of equity or debt instruments. Debt obligations with warrants attached to purchase equity securities have many characteristics of convertible securities and their prices may, to some degree, reflect the performance of the underlying stock. Debt obligations also may be issued with warrants attached to purchase additional debt instruments at the same coupon rate. A decline in interest rates would permit a Series to sell such warrants at a profit. If interest rates rise, these warrants would generally expire with no value. |
L. | Securities Lending |
| The Series may loan securities to qualified brokers through a securities lending agency agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”). Under the securities lending policy, when lending securities a Series is required to maintain collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan bringing the collateral market value in line with the required percent. Due to timing of collateral adjustments, the market value of collateral held with respect to a loaned security, may be more or less than the value of the security on loan. |
| Collateral may consist of cash and securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. Cash collateral is invested in a short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the broker are recorded as income by the Series net of fees and rebates charged/paid by BNYM for its services as securities lending agent and in connection with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the declining value of the collateral. |
| Securities lending transactions are entered into by each Series under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (“MSLA”) which permits the Series, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Series to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Series. |
| At June 30, 2023, the securities loaned were subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis as follows: |
Series | | Value of Securities on Loan | | Cash Collateral Received(1) | | Net Amount(2) |

Note 7. Credit and Market Risk and Asset Concentration
In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced the intention to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. However, after subsequent announcements by the FCA, the LIBOR administrator and other regulators, certain of the most widely used LIBORs are expected to continue until June 30, 2023. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, which is regulated and authorized by FCA, and the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publishing certain LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021. On April 3, 2023, the FCA announced its decision to require LIBOR’s administrator to continue to publish the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month U.S. dollar settings under an unrepresentative synthetic methodology until September 30, 2024. On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Act (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”) was enacted into law which directs the Federal Reserve Board, as a fallback mechanism, to identify benchmark rates based on SOFR that will replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve adopted regulations implementing the LIBOR Act. The Series may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets and may present a material risk for certain market participants, including the Series. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could lead to significant short- and long-term uncertainty and market instability. The risks associated with this discontinuation and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. It remains uncertain the effects such changes will have on the Series, issuers of instruments in which the Series invest, and the financial markets generally.

It remains uncertain the effects such changes will have on the Series, issuers of instruments in which the Series invest, and the financial markets generally.
Local, regional or global events such as war or military conflict, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Series and its investments, including hampering the ability of each Series’ portfolio manager(s) to invest each Series’ assets as intended.
In countries with limited or developing markets, investments may present greater risks than in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social, or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of these investments and the income they generate, as well as a Series’ ability to repatriate such amounts.
High-yield/high-risk securities typically entail greater price volatility and/or principal and interest rate risk. There is a greater chance that an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments on time. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high-yield/high-risk securities may be complex, and as a result, it may be more difficult for the Adviser and/or subadviser to accurately predict risk.
Certain Series may invest in ETFs, which may expose the Series to the risk that the value of an ETF will be more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities the ETF is designed to track, or that the costs to the Series of owning shares of the ETF will exceed those the Series would incur by investing in such securities directly.
Certain Series may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in the pursuit of their investment objectives. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on a Series, positive or negative, than if the Series did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.
At June 30, 2023, the following Series held securities issued by various companies in specific sectors as detailed below:
| Sector | | Percentage of Total Investments |
KAR Capital Growth Series
| Information Technology | | 29% |
KAR Small-Cap Growth Series
| Financials | | 31 |
KAR Small-Cap Value Series
| Industrials | | 36 |
KAR Small-Cap Value Series
| Financials | | 25 |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2023
Note 8. Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and in separate agreements between each Trustee and the Trust, its Trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and its Series. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust and the Series enter into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s and/or the Series’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust or the Series and that have not occurred. However, neither the Trust nor the Series have had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements, and they expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 9. Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category. Each Series will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities.
At June 30, 2023, the Series did not hold any securities that were restricted.
Note 10. Redemption Facility
($ reported in thousands)
On September 18, 2017, the Series and certain other affiliated funds entered into an $150,000 unsecured line of credit (“Credit Agreement”). On June 14, 2021, the Credit Agreement was increased to $250,000. This Credit Agreement, as amended, is with a commercial bank that allows the Series to borrow cash from the bank to manage large unexpected redemptions and trade fails, up to a limit of one-third of total net assets for KAR Capital Growth Series, KAR Equity Income Series, KAR Small-Cap Growth Series, KAR Small-Cap Value Series, Newfleet Multi Sector Intermediate Bond Series, SGA International Growth Series, and Strategic Allocation Series or one-fifth of total net assets for Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Series in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This Credit Agreement had a term of 364 days and was extended to July 7, 2023. Subsequent to the reporting period, the Credit Agreement was renewed for a term of 364 days for a period up to July 6, 2024. Effective March 10, 2022, interest is charged at the higher of the SOFR or the Federal Funds rate plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed. Commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance.Total commitment fees paid for the six months ended June 30, 2023, are included in the “Interest expense and/or commitment fees” line on the Statements of Operations. The Series and other affiliated funds that are parties are individually, and not jointly, liable for their particular advances, if any, under the Credit Agreement. The lending bank has the ability to require repayment of outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement upon certain circumstances such as an event of default.
The Series had no outstanding borrowings at any time during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Note 11. Federal Income Tax Information

At June 30, 2023, the approximate aggregate cost basis and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and other financial instruments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Series | | Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |

Note 12. Regulatory Matters and Litigation
From time to time, the Trust, the Series, the Adviser and/or the subadvisers and/or their affiliates may be involved in litigation and arbitration as well as examinations and investigations by various regulatory bodies, including the SEC, involving compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client

investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting their activities. At this time, the Adviser believes that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually or in aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.
Note 13. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered reference rates as of the end of 2021. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. On December 21, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 to defer the sunset date of ASC 848 until December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Management is currently evaluating ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2020-06, but does not believe there will be a material impact.
Note 14. New Regulatory Pronouncement
In October 2022, the SEC adopted a rule and form amendments relating to tailored shareholder reports for mutual funds and ETFs; and fee information in investment company advertisements. The rule and form amendments will require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit streamlined shareholder reports that highlight key information to investors. The rule amendments will require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective in January 2023 and there is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment with a compliance date of July 2024.
Note 15. Mixed and Shared Funding
Shares of the Series are not directly offered to the public. Shares of the Series are currently offered through separate accounts to fund variable accumulation annuity contracts and variable universal life insurance policies issued by participating insurance companies. The interests of variable annuity contract owners and variable life policy owners could diverge based on differences in U.S. federal and state regulatory requirements, tax laws, investment management or other unanticipated developments. The Trust’s Trustees do not foresee any such differences or disadvantages at this time. However, the Trust’s Trustees intend to monitor for any material conflicts and will determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to such conflicts. If such a conflict should occur, one or more separate accounts may be required to withdraw its investment in the Series, or shares of another Series may be substituted.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (UNAUDITED)
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Series have adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Series’ approach to managing liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Series would not be able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Series. The Program is overseen by the Adviser as the Series’ Liquidity Risk Management Program Administrator (the “Program Administrator”), and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Series’ liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Series. Assessment and management of a Series’ liquidity risk under the Program take into consideration certain factors, such as the Series’ investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, its short- and long-term cash-flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, and its cash and cash-equivalent holdings and access to other funding sources. As required by the rule, the Program includes policies and procedures for classification of Series portfolio holdings in four liquidity categories, maintaining certain levels of highly liquid investments, and limiting holdings of illiquid investments.
At a meeting of the Board held on May 22-24, 2023, the Board received a report from the Program Administrator addressing the operation and management of the Program for calendar year 2022 (the “Review Period”). The Program Administrator’s report noted that for the Review Period, the Program Administrator believed that the Program was implemented and operated effectively in all material respects and that existing procedures, controls and safeguards were appropriately designed to enable the Program Administrator to administer the Program in compliance with Rule 22e-4. The Program Administrator’s report noted that during the Review Period, there were no events that created liquidity related concerns for the Series. The Program Administrator’s report further noted that while changes to the Program had been made during the Review Period and reported to the Board, no material changes were made to the Program as a result of the Program Administrator’s annual review.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to a Series’ prospectus for more information regarding the Series’ exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in that Series may be subject.
