Dear Shareholders/Contract Owners: |
|
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. The resulting concerns over global growth, as well as some weakness in U.S. manufacturing, housing, and consumer spending data, caused U.S. bond yields to drop significantly lower, with the U.S. 10-year treasury finishing the first half of the year at 2.00%, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018, a decline of 124 basis points. Equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
After raising interest rates three times in 2017 and four times in 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has yet to raise rates in 2019. While the Fed indicated in December 2018 that it might raise rates on two occasions in 2019, it has since changed its position and is now unlikely, in our view, to raise rates for the remainder of this year. Domestic investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bbg Barclays US Agg Bond Index, were up 6.11% in the first half of 2019 (as compared to up 0.01% in 2018), while the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index rose 10.16% during the period (as compared to down -2.26% in 2018).
U.S. equity indices fared better than international markets generally, led by the S&P 500 up 18.54% (as compared to down -4.38% in 2018), followed by the S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 up 17.97% and 16.98%, respectively (as compared to down -11.08% and -11.01%, respectively in 2018). Internationally, the MSCI EAFE and the MSCI Emerging Markets were up 14.03% and 10.58%, respectively (as compared to down -13.79% and -14.57%, respectively in 2018).
Commodities, as measured by the S&P GSCI Index, were up 13.34% in the first six months of 2019 (as compared to down -13.82% in 2018), led by a rise of 22.84% in oil (as compared to down -14.57% in 2018) and an increase of 9.86% in gold (as compared to down -1.94% in 2018). The U.S. dollar was down marginally (-0.04%) during the period (as compared to an increase of 4.40% in 2018).
For asset allocation funds, periods of significant fluctuations in volatility and returns meant that asset allocation decisions, and the timing of those decisions, were important drivers of performance during the period.

Global Atlantic American Funds® Managed Risk Portfolio |
Portfolio Review (Unaudited) |
June 30, 2019 |
The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.
The capital appreciation and income component is sub-advised by Wilshire Associates Incorporated (“Wilshire”), while the managed risk component is sub-advised by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio underperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 9.70% compared to a benchmark return of 9.93%, a difference of -23 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
The Portfolio was overweight equities versus fixed income during the first six months of 2019, which contributed to performance. Within equities, the Portfolio was relatively underweight international equities versus the benchmark, which benefited results as international and emerging markets equities underperformed domestic equities. Domestic growth equities outpaced other asset classes due to falling interest rates, increased likelihood of a rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and investor optimism regarding a potential U.S. –China trade resolution.
Manager selection detracted an estimated -0.83% from performance during the first six months of 2019. The largest detractor to manager selection was American Funds Insurance Series® Blue Chip Income & Growth Fund, which cost the Portfolio -0.97%, while American Funds Insurance Series® Global Growth & Income Fund was the strongest contributor of alpha contributing an estimated 0.32% to overall performance. The Portfolio was underweight duration during a portion of the first half of 2019, which weighed on results as U.S. interest rates fell sharply, leading to outperformance by longer duration fixed income instruments.
With respect to the managed risk component, the rapid recovery in the equity markets in January, shortly following the rapid selloff in December 2018, resulted in the Portfolio being underweight equity during these periods. As a result, while the managed risk component was a meaningful contributor to performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, it was a meaningful detractor to performance in January 2019.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
At period end, the Portfolio was overweight emerging market equities as Wilshire believes that emerging market equities remain modestly cheap relative to developed market equities and both the improved sentiment and fundamentally cheap currencies provide a potential tailwind for emerging markets equity returns. With respect to fixed income, increased exposure to both credit risk and foreign bonds has moved the Portfolio back towards a neutral stance in these areas. Wilshire believes that the greater likelihood of a rate cut by the Fed has increased investor optimism that GDP growth will continue and lower rates will support risk assets.

The capital appreciation and income component is sub-advised by BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), while the managed risk component is sub-advised by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio outperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Conservative Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 9.24% compared to a benchmark return of 8.96%, a difference of 28 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
The Portfolio remained overweight to equities relative to fixed income throughout the period which contributed positively to performance. Entering the year, BFM saw growth moderating, but little near-term risk of a U.S. recession. With corporate earnings growth slowing yet solid, equity valuations back in line with post-crisis averages, and few signs of overheating in the U.S. economy, the Portfolio remained positioned to take advantage of late-cycle equity gains.
Within equities, the Portfolio maintained an overweight to the U.S. relative to international markets, which also proved beneficial to performance. Europe posed a concern entering the year as political risks (i.e. Brexit, Italian deficits), along with anemic growth and dependency on trade, led BFM to underweight risk assets in non-U.S. developed markets over this period. With respect to emerging markets (EM), BFM was cautiously positive entering the year as valuations cheapened and country-specific risks began to subside. Midway through the first 6 months of 2019, a portion of the EM exposure was reallocated to fixed income as BFM believed the risk/reward tradeoff became less compelling, which contributed to performance as EM underperformed bonds over this timeframe.
Within fixed income, the Portfolio maintained an overweight to credit relative to treasuries, which had a positive impact on performance. While the year began with signs that credit was in the latter part of the cycle, fundamentals continue to look solid, with ample interest coverage. The Portfolio maintained a relatively higher quality stance in credit, reflecting what BFM viewed as limited upside and asymmetric downside as the economy enters into a late cycle phase. This defensive posture within credit assets somewhat detracted from performance as high yield outperformed investment grade over this period.
BFM’s view entering 2019 was that rising rates had made shorter-term U.S. bonds an attractive source of income, with short-term Treasuries offering almost as much yield as the 10-year Treasury at the beginning of the year. BFM also saw longer-term debt as a portfolio buffer against any late-cycle growth and a potential source of capital gains should the yield curve invert. Accordingly, the Portfolio’s duration positioning was overweight to the short and long ends and underweight the intermediate part of the curve. This positioning somewhat detracted from performance as intermediate rates outperformed.
With respect to the managed risk component, the rapid recovery in the equity markets in January, shortly following the rapid selloff in December 2018, resulted in the Portfolio being underweight equity during these periods. As a result, while the managed risk component was a meaningful contributor to performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, it was a meaningful detractor to performance in January 2019.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
At period end, the Portfolio remained slightly overweight equities versus fixed income. BFM has a somewhat more pessimistic growth outlook as trade and geopolitical frictions principally drive the global economy and markets, and accordingly is taking a modestly more defensive investing stance. But a significant shift by central banks toward monetary easing is expected to cushion the slowdown. BFM believes that this policy pivot should extend the long expansion, and has already triggered easier financial conditions.
Within equities, the Portfolio was overweight to U.S. as well as EM, and underweight to non-U.S. developed markets. BFM remains positive on U.S. equities against a backdrop of reasonable valuations. With rising macro uncertainty arguing for a conservative approach, BFM believes that U.S. equities appear more attractive due to the issuers’ relatively better growth prospects, free cash flow and solid balance sheets compared to other developed markets. Valuations are richer than other major markets but, in BFM’s view, still appear reasonable, with the price-to-cash flow yield of the S&P 500 roughly in line with its average since 1990. Within the U.S., BFM believes that equities with lower volatility and higher momentum appear attractive, having historically performed well in periods of decelerating economic growth such as the current economic regime. Similarly, BFM believes that momentum signals also argue for the Portfolio’s slight tilt toward EM equities, despite BFM’s belief that markets are pricing in too much Chinese stimulus. In BFM’s view there do appear to be selected EM opportunities in Latin American markets such as Brazil.
Within fixed income, the Portfolio was underweight Treasuries and overweight US credit at period end. BFM believes that credit market valuations appear reasonable, with yields having fallen to the bottom of recent ranges, driven by the decline in government bond yields and tightening yield spreads. Yet spreads still leave some cushion against the risk of rising rates. Muted issuance is also a positive. With the current upswing stretching out further, default risks connected to a downturn are also further away.
While BFM sees government bonds as key stabilizers against a backdrop of rising macro uncertainty, duration positioning is now neutral in the Portfolio as market expectations of U.S. policy easing appear to have gone too far. BFM believes that the United States Federal Reserve is likely to cut rates as insurance against escalating trade conflicts, but fail to deliver on the four quarter-point rate cuts through 2020 that markets are currently pricing in. As a result, BFM believes that investors today do not appear to be sufficiently compensated for duration risk in U.S. Treasuries.

The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.
The capital appreciation and income component is sub-advised by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), while the managed risk component is sub-advised by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”). Prior to May 1, 2019, the capital appreciation and income component was managed by the Global Atlantic Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio underperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 8.96% compared to a benchmark return of 9.93%, a difference of -97 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
From January 1, 2019 to April 30, 2019, the capital appreciation and income component consisted of investment in the Blackrock Global Allocation V.I. Fund, which outperformed the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index during the period. From May 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, the capital appreciation and income component was sub-advised by BIM and consisted of several BlackRock iShares ETFs and the BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund. The Portfolio performed in-line with the S&P Target Risk®Moderate Index benchmark during this period. The following commentary refers to the period during which BIM was sub-advisor.
Within equities, the Portfolio was positioned in favor of defensive industries over cyclical ones across most global sectors. Over the period, stock selection within U.S. and Canadian equities positively contributed. This was partially offset by stock selection in the U.K. and Japan, which weighed on portfolio returns. A broad underweight to fixed income detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. Within fixed income, security selection in investment grade credit as well as an underweight to mortgage back securities contributed to performance.
With respect to the managed risk component, the rapid recovery in the equity markets in January, shortly following the rapid selloff in December 2018, resulted in the Portfolio being underweight equity during these periods. As a result, while the managed risk component was a meaningful contributor to performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, it was a meaningful detractor to performance in January 2019.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
At period end, the Portfolio was modestly overweight equities and underweight fixed income. Within equities, the Portfolio was overweight emerging markets, notably in Asia, and underweight the U.S. and Europe. Among non-U.S. markets, the Portfolio has a meaningful regional preference for Asian stocks. Despite near-term risks associated with uncertainty of U.S./Chinese trade negotiations, BIM believes that Asian stocks, notably within emerging markets, remain attractive given generally improved earnings trajectories, more supportive central bank polices, and attractive valuations. Within Europe, BIM is increasingly constructive on valuations and the potential for additional monetary stimulus, despite slow economic growth.
From a sector perspective, the Portfolio was overweight communication services, real estate, and utilities, and underweight financials and healthcare. The Portfolio favors defensive industries, such as U.S. cable companies and energy infrastructure firms, as they tend to be more stable and can add resilience in periods of higher volatility. In addition, BIM is constructive on certain U.S. technology companies given their secular growth characteristics and ability to generate consistent earnings, and is de-emphasizing some cyclical industries, such as banks and materials.
Within fixed income, the Portfolio had a neutral position to U.S. Treasuries. As the pace of global growth has slowed, BIM believes duration continues to serve as an effective partial hedge against episodic equity market volatility. The majority of the Portfolio’s duration continues to be sourced from the U.S. through U.S. Treasuries. The Portfolio was overweight investment grade credit, as BIM believes that high quality U.S. corporate bonds have the potential to enhance the risk- adjusted returns. In addition, the Portfolio had modest exposure to high yield credit. The Portfolio was underweight mortgage backed-securities due the general narrowness of spreads relative to U.S. Treasuries, coupled with the possibility of rising pre- payments risk as interest rates fall.

Global Atlantic Franklin Dividend and Income Managed Risk Portfolio Portfolio Review (Unaudited) |
June 30, 2019 |
The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.
The capital appreciation and income component is managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin Advisers”), while the managed risk component is sub-advised by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio outperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 13.44% compared to a benchmark return of 9.93% a difference of 351 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark unless otherwise noted.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
Franklin Advisers employs a bottom-up stock selection process for the equity sleeve of the Portfolio’s capital appreciation and income component, whereby the portfolio managers invest in securities without regard to benchmark comparisons. As a result, the Portfolio frequently contains sector and security allocations that may be significantly different from those of its reference benchmark. With respect to the equity sleeve’s performance versus the S&P 500 Index, the equity sleeve of the Portfolio’s capital appreciation and income component outperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (net of fees), posting a return of 20.30% compared to an S&P 500 Index return of 18.54%, a difference of 176 basis points.
Relative to the Portfolio’s benchmark, an overweight to, and stock selection in, the industrials sector aided Portfolio performance, as did stock selection in the healthcare and information technology sectors.
Roper Technologies (“Roper”) (4.33%), a diversified industrial company, enjoyed solid stock price performance during the period. The company continued to post strong revenue and earnings growth, as well as robust cash flow generation. Roper expects to continue achieving strong operating results in 2019, with moderate organic revenue growth and continued strong profitability. The company has increased its dividend for 26 consecutive years.
Industrial gases company Air Products and Chemicals (2.48%) supported relative returns following a solid quarterly earnings report and upbeat guidance. The Portfolio Management (PM) Team believes the overall fundamentals for the industrial gases industry look robust. The industry has consolidated, competitive pressures remain stable, pricing power has improved and project backlogs look to be increasing. Moreover, the PM Team believes Air Products has a significant long-term opportunity in gasification projects. The company has increased its dividend for 36 consecutive years.
Stryker Corporation (“Stryker”) (2.80%), a developer of surgical and medical products, was a contributor. The company’s growth trajectory looked robust to us based on a steady cadence of new product launches, international expansion and ongoing growth from MAKO, Stryker’s robotic-arm assisted technology. The company has increased its dividend for 26 consecutive years.
The PM Team’s stock selection in the consumer discretionary, energy, and consumer staples sectors detracted from the Portfolio’s relative performance.
Shares of Albemarle (1.94%), a specialty chemicals producer, declined despite ongoing strong fundamental performance. Investor concerns about the possibility of lithium oversupply and pricing implications continued to weigh on the industry despite the company’s outlook for balanced supply and demand. The PM Team believes that Albemarle’s long-term contracts and low-cost position could provide insulation from spot price fluctuations. The company has increased its dividend for 25 consecutive years.
Oil and gas producer Occidental Petroleum (0.85%) announced a $38 billion acquisition of oil and gas exploration and production firm Anadarko Petroleum (0.00%). The PM Team believes that the deal could give Occidental Petroleum a greater presence in the U.S. shale producing Permian Basin and allow it to cut costs, but investor concerns about the financing needed to complete the deal weighed on Occidental’s share price. The company has increased its dividend for 16 consecutive years.
Shares of Medtronic (2.03%), a developer of medical products, was a relative detractor during the period, despite reporting strong financial results in recent quarters. The PM Team believes that Medtronic is positioned well going forward, based on good organic growth prospects driven by a strong pipeline, as well as improving margins and cash flow generation. The company has increased its dividend for 41 years.
During the first six months of 2019, the fixed income sleeve of the Portfolio’s capital appreciation and income component outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (net of fees), posting a return of 7.46% compared to a Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index return of 6.11%, a difference of 135 basis points. In terms of drivers of return, sector allocation contributed to outperformance on a duration-adjusted basis, driven primarily by the Portfolio’s exposure to the credit sectors, including high-yield bonds, bank loans and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Allocation to sovereign emerging-market bonds also enhanced relative results. Foreign currency exposure also contributed, as gains primarily in the Mexican peso and Indonesian rupiah were partially offset by losses in the Swedish krona and the Canadian dollar. In contrast, security selection was slightly negative for returns, particularly within the fixed-rate agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sector. Relative to the benchmark, the Portfolio’s underweight duration positioning was the primary detractor from returns, although this effect was partially offset by the positive performance of non-U.S. yield curve exposures.
With respect to the managed risk component, the rapid recovery in the equity markets in January, shortly following the rapid selloff in December 2018, resulted in the Portfolio being underweight equity during these periods. As a result, while the managed risk component was a meaningful contributor to performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, it was a meaningful detractor to performance in January 2019.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
At period-end, the Portfolio’s largest sector concentration was industrials, followed by healthcare and information technology. The Portfolio initiated positions in Pfizer (0.42%) and Norfolk Southern (0.38%) and added to several existing positions, including The Boeing Company (2.26%) and the aforementioned Roper Technologies. Conversely, the PM Team exited positions in Roche Holding, Versum Materials, and Yum! Brands, while reducing holdings in Dover (1.13%), Abbott Laboratories (1.03%), and Chubb (0.34%).
The Portfolio remained underweight fixed income relative to the benchmark. At period-end, the Portfolio remained overweight in the corporate credit sectors, particularly CLOs, bank loans and high yield bonds. The PM Team believes that fundamentals in the corporate credit market remain strong. With the rally in risk assets year-to-date, credit spreads are close to their tightest levels over the past year. As part of risk reduction, the PM Team reduced its exposure to investment-grade corporate credit, ending the period underweight to the sector relative to the benchmark. Within the securitized sectors, the Portfolio remained overweight the residential mortgage-backed securities sector (RMBS) based on strong U.S. housing fundamentals and remained underweight commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and MBS sectors. Over the period, the Portfolio Management Team added to its Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and municipal bond exposure and remained overweight to both sectors. In addition, as part of risk reduction, the PM Team increased its exposure to U.S. Treasuries, but remained significantly underweight relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
In U.S. dollar duration, the Portfolio was short versus the benchmark. The PM Team retained a curve flattener, with its short concentrated in the two-to-five-year part of the yield curve (i.e. short sell the 2-5 year U.S. Treasury bonds, buy long the 30- year U.S. Treasury bond). In non-USD duration, the Portfolio remained slightly long Australian dollar and Canadian dollar duration, while initiating a slightly long duration in Uruguayan peso. In terms of currency exposure, on the long side the Portfolio’s largest currency position remained the Norwegian krone, with other long positions in the Indian rupee, Mexican peso, Dominican Republican peso, Columbian peso, South African rand, Uruguayan peso and Turkish lira. In addition, the Portfolio remained short the Australian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Canadian dollar as well as the Sweden krona, South Korean won and the euro.

Global Atlantic Goldman Sachs Dynamic Trends Allocation Portfolio Portfolio Review (Unaudited) |
June 30, 2019 |
The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.
The Portfolio is sub-advised by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio outperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Conservative Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 9.30% compared to a benchmark return of 8.96%, a difference of 34 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
Using a momentum-based methodology to dynamically allocate across global asset classes, the Portfolio seeks to manage risk and enhance long-term returns in changing market environments. Momentum investing seeks exposure to asset classes that have exhibited positive trends in price performance over selected time periods. The Portfolio’s trend-based strategy contributed to performance, particularly an overweight equity position during a period when they outperformed U.S. Treasuries. Within equities, the largest contributors were the Portfolio’s allocations to U.S. large-cap equities, followed by European equities, UK equities, U.S. mid-cap equities, Japanese equities and U.S. small-cap equities. Allocations to U.S. Treasuries also contributed to absolute returns. The Portfolio’s de-risking strategy – where a portion of individual equity sleeves are de-risked to cash during periods of heightened volatility in those markets – detracted from returns.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
At period end, the Portfolio had approximately 40% of its assets in equities globally. Regionally, 25.6% of its assets were invested in U.S. large-cap equities, given broadly strong momentum. Within international equities, the Portfolio held a 10.6% allocation to European and a 3.8% allocation to UK equities, given moderate equity market momentum within those markets. The Portfolio currently does not have an allocation to Japanese, U.S. mid-cap or U.S. small-cap equities given GSAM’s belief of poor trends.
At period end, the Portfolio held 60% in U.S. Treasuries, its maximum strategic allocation. This allocation is driven by relatively stronger trends in fixed income relative to equities.
In general, the Portfolio seeks to maintain between 40% - 60% of its assets in developed equity investments and 40%-60% of its assets in U.S. fixed income investments. The Portfolio may make allocations at the higher-end of asset allocation ranges to those asset classes with strong momentum, and at the lower-end to those asset classes with weak momentum.

The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.
The capital appreciation and income component is sub-advised by BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), while the managed risk component is sub-advised by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio underperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Growth Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 10.22% compared to a benchmark return of 11.91%, a difference of -169 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
The Portfolio remained overweight to equities relative to fixed income throughout the period which contributed positively to performance. Entering the year, BFM saw growth moderating, but little near-term risk of a U.S. recession. With corporate earnings growth slowing yet solid, equity valuations back in line with post-crisis averages, and few signs of overheating in the U.S. economy, the Portfolio remained positioned to take advantage of late-cycle equity gains.
Within equities, the Portfolio maintained an overweight to the U.S. relative to international markets, which also proved beneficial to performance. Europe posed a concern entering the year as political risks (i.e. Brexit, Italian deficits), along with anemic growth and dependency on trade, led BFM to underweight risk assets in non-U.S. developed markets over this period. With respect to emerging markets (EM), BFM was cautiously positive entering the year as valuations cheapened and country-specific risks began to subside. Midway through the first 6 months of 2019, a portion of the EM exposure was reallocated to fixed income as BFM believed the risk/reward tradeoff became less compelling, which contributed to performance as EM underperformed bonds over this timeframe.
Within fixed income, the Portfolio maintained an overweight to credit relative to treasuries, which had a positive impact on performance. While the year began with signs that credit was in the latter part of the cycle, fundamentals continue to look solid, with ample interest coverage. The Portfolio maintained a relatively higher quality stance in credit, reflecting what BFM viewed as limited upside and asymmetric downside as the economy enters into a late cycle phase. This defensive posture within credit assets somewhat detracted from performance as high yield outperformed investment grade over this period.
BFM’s view entering 2019 was that rising rates had made shorter-term U.S. bonds an attractive source of income, with short-term Treasuries offering almost as much yield as the 10-year Treasury at the beginning of the year. BFM also saw longer-term debt as a portfolio buffer against any late-cycle growth and a potential source of capital gains should the yield curve invert. Accordingly, the Portfolio’s duration positioning was overweight to the short and long ends and underweight the intermediate part of the curve. This positioning somewhat detracted from performance as intermediate rates outperformed.
With respect to the managed risk component, the rapid recovery in the equity markets in January, shortly following the rapid selloff in December 2018, resulted in the Portfolio being underweight equity during these periods. As a result, while the managed risk component was a meaningful contributor to performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, it was a meaningful detractor to performance in January 2019.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
At period end, the Portfolio remained slightly overweight equities versus fixed income. BFM has a somewhat more pessimistic growth outlook as trade and geopolitical frictions principally drive the global economy and markets, and accordingly is taking a modestly more defensive investing stance. But a significant shift by central banks toward monetary easing is expected to cushion the slowdown. BFM believes that this policy pivot should extend the long expansion, and has already triggered easier financial conditions.
Within equities, the Portfolio was overweight to U.S. as well as EM, and underweight to non-U.S. developed markets. BFM remains positive on U.S. equities against a backdrop of reasonable valuations. With rising macro uncertainty arguing for a conservative approach, BFM believes that U.S. equities appear more attractive due to the issuers’ relatively better growth prospects, free cash flow and solid balance sheets compared to other developed markets. Valuations are richer than other major markets but, in BFM’s view, still appear reasonable, with the price-to-cash flow yield of the S&P 500 roughly in line with its average since 1990. Within the U.S., BFM believes that equities with lower volatility and higher momentum appear attractive, having historically performed well in periods of decelerating economic growth such as the current economic regime. Similarly, BFM believes that momentum signals also argue for the Portfolio’s slight tilt toward EM equities, despite BFM’s belief that markets are pricing in too much Chinese stimulus. In BFM’s view there do appear to be selected EM opportunities in Latin American markets such as Brazil.
Within fixed income, the Portfolio was underweight Treasuries and overweight US credit at period end. BFM believes that credit market valuations appear reasonable, with yields having fallen to the bottom of recent ranges, driven by the decline in government bond yields and tightening yield spreads. Yet spreads still leave some cushion against the risk of rising rates. Muted issuance is also a positive. With the current upswing stretching out further, default risks connected to a downturn are also further away.
While BFM sees government bonds as key stabilizers against a backdrop of rising macro uncertainty, duration positioning is now neutral in the Portfolio as market expectations of U.S. policy easing appear to have gone too far. BFM believes that the United States Federal Reserve is likely to cut rates as insurance against escalating trade conflicts, but fail to deliver on the four quarter-point rate cuts through 2020 that markets are currently pricing in. As a result, BFM believes that investors today do not appear to be sufficiently compensated for duration risk in U.S. Treasuries.

The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.
The capital appreciation and income component is sub-advised by BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), while the managed risk component is sub-advised by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio was in-line with its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 9.91% compared to a benchmark return of 9.93%, a difference of -2 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
The Portfolio remained overweight to equities relative to fixed income throughout the period which contributed positively to performance. Entering the year, BFM saw growth moderating, but little near-term risk of a U.S. recession. With corporate earnings growth slowing yet solid, equity valuations back in line with post-crisis averages, and few signs of overheating in the U.S. economy, the Portfolio remained positioned to take advantage of late-cycle equity gains.
Within equities, the Portfolio maintained an overweight to the U.S. relative to international markets, which also proved beneficial to performance. Europe posed a concern entering the year as political risks (i.e. Brexit, Italian deficits), along with anemic growth and dependency on trade, led BFM to underweight risk assets in non-U.S. developed markets over this period. With respect to emerging markets (EM), BFM was cautiously positive entering the year as valuations cheapened and country-specific risks began to subside. Midway through the first 6 months of 2019, a portion of the EM exposure was reallocated to fixed income as BFM believed the risk/reward tradeoff became less compelling, which contributed to performance as EM underperformed bonds over this timeframe.
Within fixed income, the Portfolio maintained an overweight to credit relative to treasuries, which had a positive impact on performance. While the year began with signs that credit was in the latter part of the cycle, fundamentals continue to look solid, with ample interest coverage. The Portfolio maintained a relatively higher quality stance in credit, reflecting what BFM viewed as limited upside and asymmetric downside as the economy enters into a late cycle phase. This defensive posture within credit assets somewhat detracted from performance as high yield outperformed investment grade over this period.
BFM’s view entering 2019 was that rising rates had made shorter-term U.S. bonds an attractive source of income, with short-term Treasuries offering almost as much yield as the 10-year Treasury at the beginning of the year. BFM also saw longer-term debt as a portfolio buffer against any late-cycle growth and a potential source of capital gains should the yield curve invert. Accordingly, the Portfolio’s duration positioning was overweight to the short and long ends and underweight the intermediate part of the curve. This positioning somewhat detracted from performance as intermediate rates outperformed.
With respect to the managed risk component, the rapid recovery in the equity markets in January, shortly following the rapid selloff in December 2018, resulted in the Portfolio being underweight equity during these periods. As a result, while the managed risk component was a meaningful contributor to performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, it was a meaningful detractor to performance in January 2019.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
At period end, the Portfolio remained slightly overweight equities versus fixed income. BFM has a somewhat more pessimistic growth outlook as trade and geopolitical frictions principally drive the global economy and markets, and accordingly is taking a modestly more defensive investing stance. But a significant shift by central banks toward monetary easing is expected to cushion the slowdown. BFM believes that this policy pivot should extend the long expansion, and has already triggered easier financial conditions.
Within equities, the Portfolio was overweight to U.S. as well as EM, and underweight to non-U.S. developed markets. BFM remains positive on U.S. equities against a backdrop of reasonable valuations. With rising macro uncertainty arguing for a conservative approach, BFM believes that U.S. equities appear more attractive due to the issuers’ relatively better growth prospects, free cash flow and solid balance sheets compared to other developed markets. Valuations are richer than other major markets but in BFM’s view, still appear reasonable, with the price-to-cash flow yield of the S&P 500 roughly in line with its average since 1990. Within the U.S., BFM believes that equities with lower volatility and higher momentum appear attractive, having historically performed well in periods of decelerating economic growth such as the current economic regime. Similarly, BFM believes that momentum signals also argue for the Portfolio’s slight tilt toward EM equities, despite BFM’s belief that markets are pricing in too much Chinese stimulus. In BFM’s view there do appear to be selected EM opportunities in Latin American markets such as Brazil.
Within fixed income, the Portfolio was underweight Treasuries and overweight US credit at period end. BFM believes that credit market valuations appear reasonable, with yields having fallen to the bottom of recent ranges, driven by the decline in government bond yields and tightening yield spreads. Yet spreads still leave some cushion against the risk of rising rates. Muted issuance is also a positive. With the current upswing stretching out further, default risks connected to a downturn are also further away.
While BFM sees government bonds as key stabilizers against a backdrop of rising macro uncertainty, duration positioning is now neutral in the Portfolio as market expectations of U.S. policy easing appear to have gone too far. BFM believes that the United States Federal Reserve is likely to cut rates as insurance against escalating trade conflicts, but fail to deliver on the four quarter-point rate cuts through 2020 that markets are currently pricing in. As a result, BFM believes that investors today do not appear to be sufficiently compensated for duration risk in U.S. Treasuries.

Portfolio Review (Unaudited) |
June 30, 2019 |
The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.
The Portfolio is sub-advised by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio outperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 11.60% compared to a benchmark return of 9.93%, a difference of 167 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark unless otherwise noted.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
Over the period, amid the market rally, the Portfolio adjusted its equity exposure higher and ultimately spent a large portion of the period near its maximum exposure, a position that contributed to performance. An allocation to non-U.S. developed market equities was additive as these equities rallied alongside the broader market, while void exposure to emerging market equities detracted.
The Portfolio’s fixed income allocations contributed to absolute performance; however, an underweight to duration overall, sourced primarily from tactical short exposure to duration in the UK and Japan, detracted from performance as rates in these countries rallied across the yield curve.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
At period end, the Portfolio maintained close to maximum equity exposure as market volatility remained low amid the market rally. Within equities, the Portfolio was overweight U.S. large cap, equal weight international developed, and underweight emerging markets. Within fixed income, the Portfolio remained underweight duration overall with a preference for U.S. duration against rate exposure in other developed regions. PIMCO believes that the intermediate portion of the yield curve continues to offer attractive characteristics while longer-term rates may rise as term premiums return. PIMCO finds attractive opportunities in specific credits that benefit from U.S. growth and a resurgent housing sector.

Portfolio Review (Unaudited) |
June 30, 2019 |
The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.
The capital appreciation and income component is sub-advised by Wilshire Associates Incorporated (“Wilshire”), while the managed risk component is sub-advised by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio outperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 12.07% compared to a benchmark return of 9.93%, a difference of 214 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
The Portfolio was overweight equities versus fixed income during the first six months of 2019, which contributed to performance. Within equities, the Portfolio was relatively underweight international equities versus the benchmark, which benefited results as international and emerging markets equities underperformed domestic equities. Domestic growth equities outpaced other asset classes due to falling interest rates, increased likelihood of a rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and investor optimism regarding a potential U.S. – China trade resolution. The Portfolio was underweight duration during a portion of the first half of 2019, which weighed on results as U.S. interest rates fell sharply, leading to outperformance by longer duration fixed income instruments. Manager selection contributed to performance during the first six months of 2019, adding an estimated 1.29% to performance during the period. The MFS® VIT Growth Fund was the strongest contributor of alpha, adding 0.57% of relative performance on a stand-alone return of 25.80%.
With respect to the managed risk component, the rapid recovery in the equity markets in January, shortly following the rapid selloff in December 2018, resulted in the Portfolio being underweight equity during these periods. As a result, while the managed risk component was a meaningful contributor to performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, it was a meaningful detractor to performance in January 2019.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
At period end, the Portfolio remained underweight developed international equities as Wilshire believes that economic indicators continue to favor the U.S. Furthermore, Wilshire believes that while Europe is more politically and economically stable today than in recent years, the new U.S. tax plan and the potential for increased geopolitical risks associated with the use of tariffs and rising protectionism could have a disproportionately negative impact on foreign equity markets. The Portfolio is overweight emerging market equities as Wilshire believes that they remain modestly cheap relative to developed market equities and both the improved sentiment and fundamentally cheap currencies provide a potential tailwind for emerging markets equity returns. Domestically, the Portfolio is overweight small cap equities as valuations coupled with less sensitivity to global trade conflicts have made small cap equities relatively more attractive. From a style perspective within U.S. equities, the Portfolio is positioned in favor of value equities as Wilshire believes recent tax reform could be favorable for value equities and that growth stock valuations imply a high level of excess optimism.
With respect to fixed income, increased exposure to both interest rate and credit risk has moved the Portfolio back towards a neutral stance in these areas. Wilshire believes that the greater likelihood of a rate cut by the Fed cut has increased investor optimism that GDP growth will continue and lower rates will support risk assets.

Portfolio Review (Unaudited) |
June 30, 2019 |
The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.
The capital appreciation and income component is sub-advised by Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”) while the managed risk component is sub-advised by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”).
How did the Portfolio perform during the period?
During the first six months of 2019, the Portfolio outperformed its reference benchmark, the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index. The Portfolio posted a return of 12.12% compared to a benchmark return of 9.93%, a difference of 219 basis points. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to this benchmark unless otherwise noted.
What factors and allocation decisions influenced the Portfolio’s performance?
While many global equity markets finished 2018 in correction territory (a decline of greater than 20%), most markets erased those losses during the first six months of 2019 with the S&P 500 posting its strongest first half return (up 18.54%) since 1997. The S&P MidCap 400 and the Russell 2000 indices were both up 17-18% during the period, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also posted strong returns, up 11-14%. The fixed income market also rallied, highlighted by significant decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.00% at period end, a level not seen since 2016 and down from a recent high of 3.24% in November 2018. The first half of 2019 was not without market volatility, however, as May saw a significant decline in major equity markets driven primarily by continued trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners, mainly China and Mexico. While bond yields remained low during this volatile period, equity markets recovered significantly in June, again eliminating most, if not all, of the declines experienced in May.
The equity portion of the Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Index, net of fees, during the period, returning 20.53%, versus the benchmark return of 18.54%. Relative equity outperformance was driven by strong stock selection within the information technology, particularly in the semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industry, and financials sectors. This was partially offset by weaker security selection within the consumer staples, specifically holdings in tobacco companies which detracted the most from relative performance.
Top relative contributors to the equity portion of the Portfolio during the period included eliminating the Portfolio’s positions in Berkshire Hathaway (financials), a financial services holding company, and Wayfair (consumer discretionary), an online home furnishings company. Not holding Berkshire Hathaway aided relative performance as the stock price fell after shares of a top holding, Kraft Heinz, fell on the news of a dividend cut and a pending Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. Shares of Wayfair surged after the company reported strong fourth quarter results driven by customer growth and higher gross margins. Though the team continues to believe in the long-term investment case for the disruptive online home furnishings company, they eliminated during the period on strength given current valuations.
Top relative detractors of the equity portion of the Portfolio during the period included Teva Pharmaceuticals (0.15%) (health care), an Israeli-based pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and distributes generic and specialty medicines; and an underweight to Apple (1.52%) (information technology), a U.S.-based technology company that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and online services. Shares of Teva Pharmaceuticals were down during the period in response to the expansion of a 2016 lawsuit alleging industry price-fixing. The stock also experienced weakness after announcing an unexpected cash settlement over its role in the production and manufacturing of opioids. Our underweight to Apple also detracted from relative performance as the company reported better-than-expected first and second quarter results as well as improving third quarter guidance. Drivers included Apple’s growing services segment and better-than-expected iPhone sales that were driven by price cuts and incentive programs.
The fixed income portion of the Portfolio outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, net of fees, during the period, returning 6.42% versus the benchmark return of 6.11%. In the fixed income portion, sector allocation and security selection both contributed to performance. Investment grade credit positioning contributed to relative results, with financials, taxable municipals, and utilities being the main drivers of outperformance. Within securitized sectors, agency mortgage backed securities (MBS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and asset backed securities (ABS) had a positive impact on performance for the period. Long breakeven inflation positioning via treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) contributed to positive performance. During the period, the fixed income portion of the Portfolio was positioned with a short duration bias at the steep end of the curve, which had a negative impact on relative results as Sovereign yields declined over the period.
With respect to the managed risk component, the rapid recovery in the equity markets in January, shortly following the rapid selloff in December 2018, resulted in the Portfolio being underweight equity during these periods. As a result, while the managed risk component was a meaningful contributor to performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, it was a meaningful detractor to performance in January 2019.
How was the Portfolio positioned at period end?
The equity portion of the Portfolio is managed in an industry-neutral structure, designed to add value through fundamental, bottom up stock selection. The equity portion consists of multiple sub-portfolios, with each sub-portfolio actively managed by one or more of Wellington Management’s Global Industry Analysts. The allocation of assets to each sub-portfolio roughly corresponds to the relative weight of the analysts’ coverage universe within the index. Looking ahead, the Global Industry Analysts remain focused on fundamental, bottom-up stock selection with an eye on how the macro-economic outlook will affect the companies in which they invest. Wellington Management continues to identify themes and opportunities that will shape future investment decisions.
The importance of innovation across sectors focuses the analysts on identifying companies that can lead technological advancement within their industries. Across semiconductors, hardware, software, and applications, the analysts believe there will be winners that can shape markets for years to come. In the software industry, there are a number of holdings in cloud-based CRM tools that have become essential to enterprise performance. Semiconductors can benefit from the upcoming 5G cycle, although they are also subject to ongoing tariff risks. As such, the technology Global Industry Analysts look to invest in companies with advanced memory technology and less exposure to the Chinese supply chain. They are also finding opportunities in financial technology companies specializing in electronic payments, modernizing asset management technology, and providing financial data and security to consumers.
Within Consumer Staples, the team has re-positioned away from riskier areas of the sector to more stable, long-term compounding companies. They look to invest in companies that can take advantage of scale to capitalize on emerging trends and divest from failing businesses, while also returning profits to shareholders. The equity portion of the Portfolio holds companies the team believes to be market leaders across the food, beverages, and household product industries, with strong balance sheets and durable business models.
Within spread sectors, the fixed income portion of the Portfolio was overweight taxable municipals, which the fixed income team believes offers diversification benefits, and overweight corporate bonds. The fixed income portion is also positioned with an overweight to asset-backed securities, particularly high quality collateralized loan obligations (CLO), and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Portfolio maintained long inflation breakevens via an allocation to Treasury inflation- protected securities (TIPS). The fixed income portion is modestly overweight in agency mortgage-backed securities, and owns Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) for their favorable prepayment profile. The Portfolio holds select prime, non- agency mortgage backed securities (MBS) issues on attractive valuations.

Each of the Portfolios in this report is diversified. Certain of the Portfolios operate as “fund of funds.” A “fund of funds” typically invests in multiple underlying funds and the level of its interest in any particular underlying fund may fluctuate. The Portfolios are intended to be funding vehicles for variable annuity contracts offered by the separate accounts of Forethought Life Insurance Company. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Portfolio in which shares are held. Each Portfolio pays its own expenses.
The Portfolios currently offer Class II shares at net asset value.
References herein to a Portfolio’s investment in a particular instrument include direct investments and indirect investments through investment companies such as open-end funds (mutual funds), exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds, as applicable.

| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios in preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Portfolio is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
Securities Valuation –Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Futures and future options are valued at the final settle price or, in the absence of a settle price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost to the extent it is determined that amortized cost approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value, as discussed in more detail below.
Valuation of Investment Companies – The Portfolios may invest in one or more portfolios of open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Fund” or “Underlying Funds”). Each Underlying Fund is valued at its respective net asset value as reported by such investment company. Each Underlying Fund values securities in its portfolio for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based on the methods established by each Underlying Fund’s board(s) of trustees.
Exchange-Traded Funds – The Portfolios may invest in passive exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). An ETF is a type of index fund that is bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. A Portfolio may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities it is designed to track, although the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile than the underlying securities, which may result in a Portfolio paying significantly more or receiving significantly less for ETF shares than the value of the relevant underlying securities. Additionally, an ETF has fees and expenses that increase the cost of investing in the ETF versus the costs of owning the underlying securities directly.
Illiquid Securities – The Portfolios may hold securities, such as private placements, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined using the valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a Fair Value Committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) Global Atlantic Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) and/or Sub-Adviser. The Fair Value Committee may also include the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer and may enlist third party consultants or advisers (such as an accounting firm or fair value pricing specialist) on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value or valuation method. The Board reviews and approves the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.
Fair Value Committee and Valuation Process –The Fair Value Committee is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are not readily available on a particular business day (including without limitation securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the opinion of the Adviser or relevant Sub-Adviser, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument (factors which may cause the Adviser or Sub-Adviser to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: the availability of only a bid price or an ask price; the spread between bid and

|
ask prices; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets or regulators, such as the suspension or limitation of trading); (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) subsequent to the determination of the closing price reported on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, but prior to the relevant Portfolio’s calculation of its net asset value (“NAV”); and (v) mutual funds that do not provide timely NAV information. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private placements or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the Adviser or Sub-Adviser valuation based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the Adviser or Sub-Adviser is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value team shall determine the fair value of restricted or illiquid securities using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Portfolio’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights, as well as any estimation of the cost of registration or otherwise qualifying the security for public sale, including commissions; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable; (xii) the security’s embedded option values; and (xiii) information about the financial condition of the issuer and its prospects.
Each Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 –Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Portfolio has the ability to access.
Level 2 –Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 –Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Portfolio’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Portfolios did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period.
Security Transactions and Related Income –Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders –Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date and are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results from operations or net asset values per share of the Portfolios.
Cash and Cash Equivalents –Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with original maturities of three months or less. The Portfolios maintain deposits with a financial institution which are generally an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits.
Federal Income Tax –It is each Portfolio’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.
Each Portfolio will recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in each Portfolio’s 2016, 2017, and 2018 tax returns or is expected to be taken in each Portfolio’s 2019 tax returns. Each Portfolio identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios make significant investments; however, the Portfolios are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, a Portfolio may enter into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. A forward involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and a Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains/(losses) from forward foreign currency contracts in the Statements of Operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts by the Global Atlantic Franklin Dividend and Income Managed Risk Portfolio and the Global Atlantic PIMCO Tactical Allocation Portfolio was $(38,404) and $(4,975), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Global Atlantic Franklin Dividend and Income Managed Risk Portfolio and the Global Atlantic PIMCO Tactical Allocation Portfolio had realized gains/(losses) of $58,262 and $38,512, respectively, from forward foreign currency contracts.
Options Transactions –Certain Portfolios are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.
A Portfolio may purchase and write (i.e., sell) put and call options. Such options may relate to particular securities or securities indices, including ETFs, and may or may not be listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange and may or may not be issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. Options trading is a highly specialized activity that entails greater than ordinary investment risk. Options may be more volatile than the underlying instruments, and therefore, on a percentage basis, an investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A call option for a particular security gives the purchaser of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy, and the writer (seller) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option for American options or only at expiration for European options, regardless of the market price of the security. The premium paid to the writer is in consideration for undertaking the obligation under the option contract. A put option for a particular security gives the purchaser the right to sell the security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option for American options or only at expiration for European options, regardless of the market price of the security.
Securities index options are put options and call options on various securities indices. In most respects, they are identical to listed options on common stocks. The primary difference between stock options and index options occurs when index options are exercised. In the case of stock options, the underlying security, common stock, is delivered. However, upon the exercise of an index option, settlement does not occur by delivery of the securities comprising the index. The option holder who exercises the index option receives an amount of cash if the closing level of the securities index upon which the option is based is greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal to the difference between the closing price of the securities index and the exercise price of the option expressed in dollars times a specified multiple. A securities index fluctuates with changes in the market value of the stocks included in the index.

The Portfolios may purchase and sell options on the same types of futures in which it may invest. Options on futures are similar to options on underlying instruments except that options on futures give the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a put), rather than to purchase or sell the futures contract, at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by the delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer’s futures margin account which represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract, at exercise, exceeds (in the case of a call) or is less than (in the case of a put) the exercise price of the option on the futures contract. Purchasers of options who fail to exercise their options prior to the exercise date suffer a loss of the premium paid.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the change in unrealized appreciation on options contracts written by the Global Atlantic PIMCO Tactical Allocation Portfolio was $78. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Global Atlantic PIMCO Tactical Allocation Portfolio had realized gains of $1,000 from option contracts written.
Futures Contracts– The Portfolios are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios may sell futures contracts to hedge against market risk, foreign currency exchange rate risks, and to reduce return volatility. Futures are standardized, exchange-traded contracts that provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument (e.g., units of a securities index) for a specified price, date, time and place designated at the time the contract is made. Brokerage fees are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold and initial and variation margin deposits must be maintained. Entering into a contract to buy is commonly referred to as buying or purchasing a contract or holding a long position. Entering into a contract to sell is commonly referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position. The Portfolios may also buy or sell hedge instruments based on one or more market indices in an attempt to maintain the Portfolios’ volatility at a targeted level. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Portfolio’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, a Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Portfolio’s basis in the contract. If a Portfolio were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Portfolio would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Each Portfolio segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. These amounts are disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposits with Brokers when applicable. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

Swap Agreements –Certain Portfolios are subject to equity price risk and/or interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. These Portfolios may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, foreign exchange (currency), or credit risk. These are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre -determined investments or instruments. In a standard over-the-counter (“OTC”) swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns, differentials in rates of return or some other amount earned or realized on the “notional amount” (i.e., the return or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a “basket” of securities, representing a particular index or industry sectors) of predetermined investments or instruments.
Certain Portfolios may enter into credit default swaps (“CDS”). CDS are two-party contracts that transfer credit exposure between the parties. One party (the “buyer”) receives credit protection and the other party (the “seller”) takes on credit risk. The buyer typically makes predetermined periodic payments to the seller in exchange for the seller’s commitment to purchase the underlying reference obligation if a defined credit event occurs, such as a default, bankruptcy or failure to pay interest or principal on a reference debt instrument, with respect to a specified issuer or one of the reference issuers in a CDS portfolio. If the defined credit event occurs, the seller must pay the agreed-upon value of a reference obligation to the counterparty or perform pursuant to the agreement. The buyer must then surrender the reference obligation to the seller. As a seller of credit protection in a CDS, a Portfolio would be liable for the notional amount of the swap.
The swaps in which a Portfolio may invest may be centrally-cleared or bi-laterally traded. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of a swap agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. A Portfolio amortizes upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount recorded as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses from the decrease in notional value of the swap are recognized on trade date. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. A Portfolio segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of its current obligation under any swap transaction. Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Each Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from the counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flow to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to be the extent that amount is positive.

Swaps may involve greater risks than direct investments in securities because swaps may be leveraged and, when traded in the OTC markets, are subject to counterparty risk, credit risk and pricing risk, each of which individually and collectively, may have a considerable impact on the performance of a Portfolio. CDS in particular may involve greater risks than investing in a referenced instrument directly. Swaps, especially those that are not exchange-traded, may also be considered illiquid. It may not be possible for a Portfolio to liquidate a swap position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses. Although central clearing and exchange-trading of swaps may decrease counterparty risk and increase market liquidity, exchange-trading and clearing does not make the contracts risk free, but rather, the primary credit risk on such contracts is the creditworthiness of the clearing broker or the clearinghouse.
The Portfolios use cash and certain securities as collateral to swap agreements as indicated on the Portfolio of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such collateral is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated account to prevent non-payment by the Portfolios. If the counterparty defaults, a Portfolio may seek return of this collateral and incur certain costs exercising their rights to the collateral.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the change in unrealized depreciation on swap contracts for the Global Atlantic Franklin Dividend and Income Managed Risk Portfolio and the Global Atlantic PIMCO Tactical Allocation Portfolio was $215,562 and $(94,947), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Global Atlantic Franklin Dividend and Income Managed Risk Portfolio and the Global Atlantic PIMCO Tactical Allocation Portfolio had realized gains of $108,889 and $27,151, respectively, from swap contracts.
Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements Risk – Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements involve the purchase or sale of securities held by the Portfolio with an agreement to resell or repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon price, date and interest payment. Repurchase transactions are subject to credit risk and counterparty risk. They also carry the risk that the market value of the securities may increase above the resell value or decline below the repurchase price. The Portfolio could also lose money if it is unable to recover the securities and the value of the collateral held by the Portfolio is less than the value of securities. Reverse repurchase agreements are a type of borrowing that may increase the possibility of fluctuation in the Portfolio’s net asset value.

The notional value of the derivative instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2019, as disclosed in the Portfolios of Investments, and the amounts of realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed above and within in the Statements of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Portfolios.
Short Sales –A Portfolio may make short sales of securities: (i) to offset potential declines in long positions in similar securities; (ii) to increase the flexibility of the Portfolio; (iii) for investment return; (iv) as part of a risk arbitrage strategy; and (v) as part of its overall portfolio management strategies involving the use of derivative instruments. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells a security it does not own or have the right to acquire (or that it owns but does not wish to deliver) in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline.
When a Portfolio makes a short sale, the broker-dealer through which the short sale is made must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the party purchasing the security. The Portfolio is required to make a margin deposit in connection with such short sales; the Portfolio may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and will often be obligated to pay over any dividends and accrued interest on borrowed securities.
Global Atlantic Portfolios
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time a Portfolio covers its short position, the Portfolio will incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Portfolio will realize a capital gain. Any gain will be decreased, and any loss increased, by the transaction costs described above. The successful use of short selling may be adversely affected by imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the security sold short and the securities being hedged.
To the extent a Portfolio sells securities short, it will provide collateral to the broker-dealer and (except in the case of short sales “against the box”) will maintain additional asset coverage in the form of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities with its custodian in a segregated account in an amount at least equal to the difference between the current market value of the securities sold short and any amounts required to be deposited as collateral with the selling broker (not including the proceeds of the short sale). A Portfolio does not intend to enter into short sales (other than short sales “against the box”) if immediately after such sales the aggregate of the value of all collateral plus the amount in such segregated account exceeds 10% of the value of the Portfolio’s net assets. This percentage may be varied by action of the Board of Trustees. A short sale is “against the box” to the extent a Portfolio contemporaneously owns, or has the right to obtain at no added cost, securities identical to those sold short.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions –The Portfolios may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Portfolios record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when- issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Real Estate Investment Trusts –Certain Portfolios may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). REITs are pooled investment vehicles that own, and typically operate, income-producing real estate. If a REIT meets certain requirements, including distributing to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income (other than net capital gains), then it is not taxed on the income distributed to shareholders. REITs are subject to management fees and other expenses, and so a Portfolio that invests in REITs will bear its proportionate share of the costs of the REITs’ operations. Along with the risks common to different types of real estate-related securities, such as loss to casualty or condemnation, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, zoning law amendments, changes in interest rates, overbuilding and increased competition, variations in market value, and possible environmental liabilities, REITs involve additional risk factors. These include poor performance by the REIT’s manager, changes to the tax laws, and failure by the REIT to qualify for tax free distribution of income or exemption under the 1940 Act. In addition, REITs are not diversified and are heavily dependent on cash flow.
Distributions from a Portfolio’s investments in REITs may be characterized as ordinary income, a net capital gain or a return of capital. The Portfolios record distributions that represent a net capital gain as a realized gain and distributions that represent a return of capital as a reduction of the cost of investment. REITs report information on the source of their distributions annually in the following calendar year. As a result, a Portfolio estimates the source of REIT distributions for accounting purposes and then makes adjustments when the actual source information is reported by the REIT. These estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions –A mortgage dollar roll transaction involves a sale by a Portfolio of mortgage related securities that it holds with an agreement by the Portfolio to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. The securities purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. The Portfolios account for mortgage dollar rolls as purchases and sales transactions.
Credit Risk –There is a risk that security issuers will not make interest and/or principal payments on their securities. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality will lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of a Portfolio or an underlying fund. Lower credit quality also will affect liquidity and make it difficult to sell the security. This means that, compared to issuers of higher rated securities, issuers of lower rated securities are less likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due in the event of adverse business, financial or economic conditions and/or may be in default or not current in the payment of interest or principal. Default, or the market’s perception that an issuer is likely to default, tends to reduce the value and
Global Atlantic Portfolios
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
liquidity of fixed income securities, thereby reducing the value of your investment in Portfolio shares. In addition, default may cause a Portfolio to directly or indirectly incur expenses in seeking recovery of principal or interest.
A Portfolio could lose money on a debt security if an issuer or borrower is unable or fails to meet its obligations, including failing to make interest payments and/or to repay principal when due. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of the issuer’s financial strength or in a security’s credit rating, which reflects a third party’s assessment of the credit risk presented by a particular issuer, may affect debt securities’ value. A Portfolio may incur substantial losses on debt securities that are inaccurately perceived to present a different amount of credit risk by the market, the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and/or Underlying Fund manager, as applicable, or the rating agencies than such securities actually do.
Derivatives Risk –The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce a Portfolio’s returns and/or increase volatility. Volatility is defined as the characteristic of a security, an index or a market to fluctuate significantly in price within a short time period. Many types of derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. A risk of a Portfolio’s use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the overall securities markets. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability to sell or otherwise close-out a derivatives position at an advantageous time or price could expose a Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult to value accurately. Derivatives typically give rise to a form of leverage and may expose a Portfolio to greater risk and increase its costs. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and related regulatory developments require the clearing and exchange-trading of many standardized over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative instruments deemed to be “swaps.” The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has implemented mandatory exchange-trading and clearing requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act and the CFTC continues to approve contracts for central clearing. Uncleared swaps are subject to margin requirements that are being implemented on a phase-in basis. The regulation of the derivatives markets has increased over the past several years, and there can be no assurance that any new governmental regulation will not adversely affect a Portfolio’s ability to achieve its investment result.
Market Risk –The market prices of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates or currency rates, limited dealer capacity, lack of liquidity in the markets or adverse investor sentiment. Each Portfolio has exposure to instruments that may be more volatile and carry more risk than some other forms of investment. Adverse market conditions may be prolonged and may not have the same impact on all types of securities. Market prices of securities also may go down due to events or conditions that affect particular sectors, industries or issuers. When market prices fall, the value of your investment will go down.
A Portfolio may experience a substantial or complete loss on any individual security. Since the global financial crisis that began in 2008, the U.S. and many foreign economies continue to experience its after- effects, which have resulted, and may continue to result, in slower growth and an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign. Additionally, the U.S. and foreign governmental market support activities implemented since the financial crisis are being reduced, and the Federal Reserve has started to raise interest rates. Further reduction or withdrawal of Federal Reserve or other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental support could negatively affect the markets generally and increase market volatility. These and other changes in market conditions could reduce the value and liquidity of the securities in which a Portfolio invests. This environment could make identifying investment risks and opportunities especially difficult.
Policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and abroad affect many aspects of financial regulation and may, in some cases, contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. Economies and financial markets around the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not a Portfolio has exposure to securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments may be negatively affected.
In addition, market prices of securities in broad market segments may be adversely affected by a prominent issuer having experienced losses or by the lack of earnings or such an issuer’s failure to meet the market’s expectations with respect to new products or services, or even by factors wholly unrelated to the value or condition of the issuer, such as changes in interest rates. An increase in interest rates or other adverse conditions (e.g., inflation/deflation, increased selling of fixed
Global Atlantic Portfolios
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
income investments across other pooled investment vehicles or accounts, changes in investor perception or changes in government intervention in the markets) may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain Portfolio investments, adversely affect values of portfolio holdings and increase a Portfolio’s costs. If dealer capacity in fixed income markets is insufficient for market conditions, this has the potential to further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed income markets.
Expenses –Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Portfolios in the Trust.
Indemnification –The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. Each Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolios expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

In addition, the Adviser has agreed to waive 0.40% of its fees for Global Atlantic American Funds® Managed Risk Portfolio and Global Atlantic Select Advisor Managed Risk Portfolio for as long as each Portfolio relies primarily on investments in underlying funds to achieve its principal investment strategy. This waiver is not subject to recoupment.
The Adviser or its affiliates may receive compensation from managers of underlying funds in which certain Portfolios invest. This compensation may create a conflict of interest for the Adviser in the selection of underlying funds for investment by the Portfolio. However, the Adviser will voluntarily reduce the amount of its compensation under its Advisory Agreement with the Portfolio by the amount of compensation received from managers of underlying funds. The minimum amount of this waiver, until at least April 30, 2020 for each Portfolio is based on estimated amounts expected to be received during the current fiscal year. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made, the minimum may be set at 0.00%. The actual amount of each waiver may be higher to the extent the payments exceed the Adviser’s estimates, but it will not be lower. These waivers are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser. The waivers may be terminated only by the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees, on 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser.

The Trust has a line of credit secured by portfolio securities through MUFG Union Bank, N.A. in the amount of $100,000,000. From time to time a Portfolio may borrow cash under this arrangement to fund redemptions subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at 5.5% per annum at the time of borrowing. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Global Atlantic Growth Managed Risk Portfolio utilized the line of credit and paid $1,417 in interest on borrowings. The largest outstanding balance during the borrowing period was $3,640,000. As of June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had $0.00 of outstanding borrowings.
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Portfolio creates a presumption of the control of the Portfolio, under section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2019, Forethought Life Insurance Company Separate Account A owned 100% of the voting securities of each Portfolio. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record are also owned beneficially.
Shareholder Concentration Risk —Forethought Life Insurance Company, certain accounts, or the Adviser’s affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of a Portfolio’s shares. Redemptions by these entities of their holdings in a Portfolio may impact the Portfolio’s liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force a Portfolio to sell securities.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed ordinary income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, and the mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies and open 1256 options and futures contracts, forward foreign currency contracts and swaps. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) of $ (8,747), $(145), $(281) and $(160) for Global Atlantic Goldman Sachs Dynamic Trends Allocation Portfolio, Global Atlatnic PIMCO Tactical Allocation Portfolio, Global Atlatnic Franklin Dividend and Income Managed Risk Portfolio, and Global Atlatnic Wellington Research Managed Portfolio, respectively.

The Global Atlantic Balanced Managed Risk Portfolio, Global Atlantic Growth Managed Risk Portfolio and Global Atlantic Moderate Growth Managed Risk Portfolio currently invest a portion of their assets in iShares Core S&P 500 ETF. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF is registered under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company. The Portfolio may redeem its investment from the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF at any time if the Adviser determines that it is in the best interest of the Portfolio and its shareholders to do so.
The performance of the Global Atlantic Balanced Managed Risk Portfolio, Global Atlantic Growth Managed Risk Portfolio and Global Atlantic Moderate Growth Managed Risk Portfolio will be directly affected by the performance of the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF. The financial statements of the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, including the portfolio of investments, can be found at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website www.sec.gov and should be read in conjunction with the Portfolio’s financial statements. As of June 30, 2019, the Portfolios invested the following of percentages of their respective net assets in the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF:

| 10. | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the policy for the timing of transfers between levels. For investment companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed. These amendments have been adopted effective with these financial statements.
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Portfolios, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” expenses set of columns in 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” expenses set of columns in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example for a specific Portfolio with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees or other expenses charged by your insurance contract or separate account. Therefore, the Hypothetical columns of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Approval of Sub-Advisory Agreement for Global Atlantic BlackRock Selects Managed Risk Portfolio (formerly Global Atlantic BlackRock Global Allocation Managed Risk Portfolio) (the “Portfolio”).
At an in-person meeting held on February 12, 2019, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered the approval of the Sub- Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), on behalf of Global Atlantic BlackRock Selects Managed Risk Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Trustees requested, received and reviewed written responses from BIM to questions posed to BIM by counsel, on behalf of the Trustees. The Trustees also reviewed comparative information relating to the sub-advisory fee and received a presentation concerning the sub -advisory services to be provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement from personnel of BIM at the February 12, 2019 meeting.
Prior to the meeting, the Trustees received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees describing the legal standards for their consideration of the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting on the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with Independent Counsel to the Independent Trustees present. The Trustees relied upon the advice of counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees requested and considered information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by BIM, as well as its expertise, resources, and capabilities. The Trustees considered, among other things, the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the range of services to be provided by BIM, including BIM’s investment philosophy and process. The Trustees considered that the Adviser, and not BIM, would vote proxies and execute portfolio trades for the capital appreciation and income component of the Portfolio and would be responsible for rebalancing the Portfolio at BIM’s discretion. The Trustees also considered the financial industry experience as well as portfolio management, compliance, and operations experience of BIM’s personnel. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s recommendation that BIM should be retained. The Trustees concluded that BIM’s experience and reputation demonstrate that BIM is capable of providing high quality service to the Portfolio and that the resources allocated to the Portfolio would be sufficient. The Trustees also considered information and representations regarding the financial condition of BIM related to its ongoing ability to provide services specified under the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement. Based on their analysis of the data presented, the Trustees concluded that they were generally satisfied with the nature and quality of the services expected to be provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Performance. The Trustees noted that the strategy that would be employed by BIM was launched in 2017 and therefore the Adviser and BIM had limited data on which to draw to provide performance information. The Trustees reviewed the back-tested data provided by the Adviser which showed that BIM’s proposed strategy would have outperformed the Portfolio’s current strategy with respect to annualized returns on a 3, 5 and 10 year basis. The Trustees considered that, based on the back -tested data presented by the Adviser, the Proposed Strategy would also have outperformed the Port folio’s current strategy during 2018, and that the data showed a superior Sharpe Ratio performance for the proposed strategy. The Trustees also considered BIM’s reputation and financial industry experience. Based on this information and their review of the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided by BIM, the Trustees concluded that BIM is capable of providing services to the Portfolio in a satisfactory manner in light of the Portfolio’s investment objectives.
Fees and Expenses. The Trustees reviewed the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, including the proposed advisory and sub- advisory fee arrangements for the Portfolio. The Trustees reviewed reports describing both the advisory fees charged by the Adviser and the total net expense ratios of the Portfolio in
Global Atlantic Portfolios

comparison to those of peer groups selected by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that the Portfolio has a unique structure and that the peer group comparisons were somewhat limited in their ability to account for the Portfolio’s investment strategy and related fees and expenses. The Trustees considered the Portfolio’s investment in underlying funds and ETFs. The Trustees considered that the proposed advisory fee would be lower if the Sub-Advisory Agreement was to be approved. The Trustees noted that the proposed sub-advisory fee to be paid to BIM was the same as that paid to BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of BIM, for other funds managed by the Adviser and sub-advised by BFM in a similar manner as BIM would manage the Portfolio, and that the sub-advisory fee the Adviser paid to Milliman would not change. The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to limit the Portfolio’s total annual operating expenses to the extent that its expenses exceed a specified amount. The Trustees noted that if the Sub-Advisory Agreement were to be approved, shareholders in the Portfolio would experience a total expense ratio of 5 basis points less to invest in the Portfolio. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee charged to the Portfolio and the sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser to BIM were not unreasonable in light of the services that would be provided to the Portfolio.
Profitability. The Trustees were provided with information regarding the Adviser’s anticipated profitability with respect to providing services to the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the Portfolio’s proposed sub-advisory fee relative to other Global Atlantic Portfolios to which BFM serves as sub-adviser and the fact that the total expense ratio for the Portfolio would be lower if BIM was approved as the new sub-adviser. Based on this information, as well as the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided by BIM, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser’s profits with respect to the Portfolio were not expected to be excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether there would be economies of scale with respect to BIM’s provision of services to the Portfolio. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Adviser to BIM would reflect the benefits of economies of scale resulting from the growth of assets. The Trustees noted that the breakpoints in the proposed advisory fee schedule would reduce fee rates as Portfolio assets grow over time and would reflect the benefits of economies of scale.
Other Benefits. The Trustees considered other benefits to BIM and its affiliates from their relationships with the Global Atlantic Portfolios.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from the Adviser and BIM as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, unanimously concluded that approving the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders. They noted that in considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees did not identify any one factor as all important. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching a conclusion with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
