A Message from the President
of FDP Series, Inc. Funds
November 13, 2015
Dear Shareholder:
I am writing to ask for your vote, as a record date shareholder of one or more of the FDP Series Inc. (the “Corporation”) Funds (the “Funds”), at the November 25, 2015 joint special meeting of Fund shareholders (“Meeting”). The purpose of the Meeting is to approve one or two proposals, applicable to your specific Fund(s).
Voting is quick and easy. By voting your shares promptly, you will help reduce the Funds proxy costs and will eliminate your receipt of additional follow-up phone calls and additional mailings urging you to cast your vote.
As you may recall from previous mailings, the Funds’ Board of Directors unanimously recommendsAPPROVAL of the applicable proposal(s) to your Fund(s). The Funds’ Board continues to believe that the proposal(s) for each Fund will offer a number of benefits to the Fund and ultimately to you, the shareholders of the Fund.
Among other things, the two proposals are intended to:
| • | Allow the Board to act more quickly and with less expenses to the Fund in appointing/replacing a new subadvisor or materially amending a subadvisory agreement, when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to do so. |
| • | Allow BlackRock (as soon as practicable after shareholder approval) to replace Marsico Capital Management LLC, the current subadvisor to the Marsico Growth FDP Fund and enter into a new subadvisory agreement with Janus Capital Management LLC with respect to the Marsico Growth FDP Fund. |
Please take a minute to cast your vote. The Funds’ Board of Directors unanimously recommends you vote “FOR” each proposal.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting in person, your vote is needed. The Funds cannot make the recommended changes unless we have sufficient participation from shareholders, such as yourself in the voting process.

Once you have decided how you will vote, please promptly complete, sign, date and return the enclosed voter instruction form(s) or vote by telephone or Internet following the directions thereon.
If you have any questions about the proposals or the voting instructions, please call Broadridge Financial Solutions, toll free at 1-855-928-4489.
Sincerely,
John M. Perlowski
President of the Corporation
