Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio returned 20.05%, 19.99%, and 19.99%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (“ACWI”) ex-U.S. Index1, returned 14.10%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The first half of 2017 has seen a continuation of ascendant stock markets, with all regions, and all but 3 countries, within the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index posting positive returns over the six month period. Optimism was not contained within equity markets, as nearly all major asset classes enjoyed a positive start to the year. The exception was commodities which, having experienced a considerable bounce toward the end of last year, have continued on a downward path in early 2017. Emerging Market (“EM”) equities led the charge thanks to a strong and well documented rally in Information Technology stocks. As is so often the case, the fortunes of emerging market countries were somewhat mixed. Asian markets were strong, most notably Taiwan, Korea and China; the latter withstanding market volatility following a sovereign credit rating downgrade in May to generate returns of 25% during the period. That being said, concerns remain about the strength of the Chinese economy, particularly its financial system where signs of stress persist. To some extent, this pattern reflects the normal maturation of a growing economy and one that is rebalancing from investment-led to consumption-led growth. China is a significant market for the Portfolio, both directly and indirectly, however exposure is largely focused on technology and individual consumption with none of the Portfolio holdings under significant state control or directly exposed to the Financials sector.
At the other end of the emerging markets spectrum, political turmoil in Brazil and South Africa dampened returns, while shouldering a great deal of the macro pain associated with low oil prices, together with escalating tensions with the West, weighed on Russian market returns which declined 14% over the period.
Away from emerging markets, attention grabbing headlines in the last six months have been dominated by events in developed markets. Focus, in the West at least, remained on President Trump’s twitter account and developments (and scandals) within the new U.S. administration, as well as the rather bumpy progression of Brexit negotiations after the U.K. triggered the formal process to separate from the European Union (the “E.U.”) in March. In an attempt to strengthen her position at the negotiating table, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May called a snap general election in June. In a surprise outcome, the result was a hung parliament which left Prime Minister May scrambling to secure an alliance with a smaller party to reach a simple majority. With a weakened government there are now even more uncertainties surrounding Brexit than there were before the election. Elsewhere in Europe, arguably a more rosy picture; the defeat of far-right politician Geert Wilders in the Dutch elections and Emmanuel Macron’s clear victory in the French Presidential election suggests populism may not be the unstoppable tidal wave that some have speculated. With important elections looming in Germany and Italy, it is an extremely interesting time for students of European politics.
Against this backdrop, U.S. economic growth has garnered plenty of attention, while the Eurozone and U.K. economies have been quietly exceeding expectations. Part of this reflects the fact that, 12 months on from the U.K.’s vote to leave the E.U., the gloomy predictions of an immediate Brexit-related economic shock did not materialize. Aside from the considerable fall in sterling last year the British economy has been ticking along nicely, while Europe, which for some time now has been tainted by perceptions of anemic economic underperformance, has seen tentative signs of improving business sentiment, a gradual uptick in growth expectations and improving unemployment rates across most areas.
Macro forecasting is futile at the best of times, but is perhaps even more so now than usual, with events discussed above highlighting the unpredictability of political and economic events. Thankfully, we don’t have to be too anxious about this given our strong focus on company fundamentals and long-term investment horizon.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the period. The main positive contributions came from EM and European equities though, and as is typical for this strategy, regional allocation effects were muted and dwarfed by the effects of stock selection. At the sector level, stock selection within Information Technology, Industrials and Consumer Discretionary contributed strongly. The asset allocation of the Portfolio, whether it is overweight or underweight in a specific sector, country or region is a residual of our bottom-up stock selection process but can have an influence on short term performance nevertheless. For example, the Energy sector was the second most significant sector contributor to relative performance as many of the oil majors, including Royal Dutch Shell and BP, suffered sharp share price falls. Not holding these companies, and being significantly underweight the sector, was therefore beneficial to performance.
The Emerging Market Information Technology rally discussed above was strongly reflected in Portfolio performance with MercadoLibre (Brazil), Samsung Electronics (Korea) and TSMC (Taiwan) featuring among the strongest contributors. MercadoLibre is the leading e-commerce platform in Latin America and continues to benefit from secular growth drivers, such as low online retail penetration. Despite a difficult economic and political backdrop in MercadoLibre’s key market of Brazil, it is noteworthy that e-commerce remains a growth industry, and that in each of its major markets, the company outgrew both the market and its main competitors.
Samsung Electronics, the electronics manufacturer, has also had an excellent start to 2017 having performed well through 2016 on the

back of anticipated corporate changes, namely increased pay-outs and share buybacks. As we progressed through the first half of the year positive rumors surrounding the launch of the Galaxy S8 smartphone gathered pace, as did confidence that the battery issues seen in 2016 were firmly behind the company. Beyond smartphones, Samsung Electronics has strong memory chip, foundry and display screen businesses which tend to be given less attention by the market but which are key to our investment thesis.
Meanwhile, TSMC, the world’s leading semiconductor foundry continues to become virtually indispensable to many of the largest semiconductor design companies in the industry. TSMC’s production capacity is more than three times that of its key competitors combined, highlighting the strength of the company’s position. The extremely strong share price performance of both Samsung Electronics and TSMC over the last six months, but more importantly over the long term, led to the decision to trim back these holdings to fund new ideas elsewhere. At period end our conviction remained high and they were still two of the largest positions in the Portfolio.
There was no particular theme to the stock level detractors over the last six months. We encountered a difficult period for Brambles (Australia), the supply chain logistics company. It specializes in reusable pallets and crates, which are then ‘pooled’ and used by a wide range of companies globally in distribution of their products. The business appears to have hit a rough patch, with some issues around inventory adjustment amongst several large U.S. retail customers, which means lower demand for these pallets, in addition to competitive pressures from a smaller U.S. competitor. This recent operational turbulence also comes at a time of senior management change at the company which, whilst unlikely to be related, has unsettled the stock market somewhat. There are always potential structural issues around global supply chains as the trend of online shopping gathers pace and we will continue to monitor this closely.
Magnit (Russia) and Pandora (Denmark) were also weak in share price terms. Magnit, a convenience store operator, has taken a hit to its top-line in order to finance a significant increase in store openings in 2017, while simultaneously rolling out a sizeable refurbishment program across its existing store network. Similarly, Pandora, the jewelry company best known for its signature charm bracelets, saw its share price suffer on concerns over near-term margin weakness as they roll out new format Pandora-branded franchise outlets. During the period, we viewed these developments positively and took advantage of share price volatility to add to the positions of both Magnit and Pandora.
Other transactions during the period include new holdings in Kingspan (Ireland), a family-run business that manufactures structural insulating panels and boards used in the construction of buildings, and Credit Suisse (Switzerland), which, under new management, has redirected its focus from investment banking activities toward growing wealth management in Asia; an area where it already has a strong market position.
We sold Volvo (Sweden) and MS&AD (Japan). Both are examples of stocks where the respective investment cases, by and large, played out as expected, albeit it wasn’t all plain sailing. Tullow Oil (U.K.), on the other hand, was a perennial underperformer, primarily due to circumstances outside its control. The oil exploration company boasts a best-in-class resource base and world-leading expertise in frontier exploration drilling, however the collapse in oil price has rendered these impressive credentials largely irrelevant to the investment case. With the rally in crude providing some support to the shares, and the growth angle that we originally identified now almost completely gone, the holding was sold after the turn of the year. As a result, at period end, the Portfolio had no direct exposure to the Energy sector.
Overall, positioning within the Portfolio remained consistently balanced at a regional level in comparison to the index with deviations from the benchmark more apparent at the sectoral level at the end of the six month period. The Industrials and Information Technology sectors remained the largest overweight positions, reflecting both the broad nature of those sectors and the Portfolio’s bias towards growth. The industries and end markets represented are well diversified, including global leaders in aerospace, car parts and robotics in the case of Industrials, and e-commerce, semiconductors and enterprise software within Information Technology.

1 The MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index is an unmanaged free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets, excluding the U.S. The Index returns shown above were calculated with net dividends: they reflect the reinvestment of dividends after the deduction of the maximum possible withholding taxes.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the
BHFTII-13
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign currency forward contracts are valued through an independent pricing service by interpolating between forward and spot currency rates in the London foreign exchange markets as of a designated hour on a valuation day. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, including options on swaps (“swaptions”), and futures contracts that are traded OTC are generally valued on the basis of interdealer bid and asked prices or prices provided by pricing service providers who use a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models, to determine the value of the contracts. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility and exchange rates. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization
BHFTII-14
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, foreign capital gain tax reclass, broker commission recapture, expired capital loss carryforwards and passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”). These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $14,935,696. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $242,275. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Foreign Investment Risk: The investments by the Portfolio in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Because securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies and may pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Portfolio. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolio to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum reduction | | Average daily net assets |
0.080% | | On amounts over $156.25 million and under $400 million |
0.180% | | Of the next $100 million |
0.120% | | Of the next to $400 million |
0.150% | | On amounts in excess of $900 million |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Loss Carryforwards | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |

The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Portfolio utilized capital loss carryforwards of $22,663,933, and $168,399,716 in capital loss carryforwards expired.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses. The pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards and expiration dates were as follows:
|
Expiring 12/31/17 |
$169,332,274 |
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio returned 2.80%, 2.68%, and 2.72%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1, returned 2.27%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The major themes affecting markets in the period under review were ongoing political risk and the continuation in the synchronization of the global economic recovery. As a counterpoint to the slew of positive economic data, political risk remained elevated with the familiar mix of Brexit (the U.K.’s exit from the European Union), uncertainty around the Trump administration, several important European elections and tensions in the Middle East and the Korean peninsula.
At the start of 2017, the global reflation trade gathered momentum on the back of Donald Trump’s surprise victory in the U.S. presidential election. Bonds sold off as the expectation of lighter regulation and a reflationary environment buoyed markets. In March, political risk swiveled from the U.S. to Europe, with British Prime Minister Theresa May formally initiating Brexit by triggering Article 50 on March 29th, starting the countdown to a two-year negotiation period, after which the U.K. will secede from the European Union. Global economic data was largely positive over the period. At the spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) in Washington, IMF managing director Christine Lagarde summed up the sentiment thus: “spring is in the air and spring is in the economy as well”. The IMF raised its forecast for global growth, for the first time in six years, to 3.5%.
On the domestic front, the first quarter U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth was revised up to 1.4% year-on-year in its final estimate, however the second quarter is likely to be more disappointing with data broadly weak over the period. Inflation was also weak, with headline and core inflation coming in at just 1.9% and 1.7% on a year-on-year basis in the final month of the period. In the bond markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Corporate Index delivered an excess return of 1.51%, with the average option-adjusted spread (“OAS”) tightening by 14 basis points (“bps”) to 1.09%. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Index delivered a total return of 4.93%, of which the excess return component was 3.65%. The average OAS tightened by 45 bps to 3.64%. Notable in the final month of the period was the rhetorical shift among G10 (10 of the World’s largest countries) central banks, prompting expectations of monetary policy tightening. Despite the weaker data, at its June meeting the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the third time in the last six months by 25 bps to a target range of between 1% - 1.25% and also signaled its intention to begin winding down its balance sheet built up during years of quantitative easing. Additionally, comments from European Central Bank President Mario Draghi on June 27th were interpreted as foreshadowing a less accommodative stance.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
We began 2017 positioned to benefit from the global reflationary theme from firming global growth with an underweight duration bias and an emphasis on carry-oriented opportunities. With these overall themes, the Portfolio held an allocation to high yield credit and overweights in securitized assets: commercial mortgage-back securities (“CMBS”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”), allocations to collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), non-agency MBS and emerging markets. In addition, the Portfolio remained positioned long U.S. breakevens (expected inflation rates) to capture increased market inflation expectations during the period.
The allocations to non-agency MBS, high yield credit and CLOs, as well as overweights to CMBS, emerging markets and municipals contributed positively to performance during the period. However, foreign exchange positioning was the primary detractor to performance.
During the first quarter of 2017, we maintained the Portfolio’s underweight duration bias with potential fiscal stimulus in the pipeline and on the view that the market may be underpricing the trajectory of the Federal Open Market Committee’s rate normalization path. During the second quarter, we narrowed the Portfolio’s underweight in U.S. duration as softening domestic economic activity and inflation data alongside strong fixed income demand kept rates subdued. Global growth started to plateau following a strong recovery, and inflation expectations declined. Our goal was to increase the Portfolio’s income with the view that a lack of catalyst in the market should favor strategies designed to generate income given the large demand for fixed income assets and low supply. Volatility remained contained through the period as event risks faded following the French presidential elections. Rich valuations in credit heighten the importance of security selection within investment grade and high yield credit, and continued to favor idiosyncratic stories in credit over index exposure.

BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Managed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC
Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
Given our continued emphasis on income-oriented opportunities, we maintained the Portfolio’s overweight to securitized assets. We increased non-agency MBS exposure. We took profits on some of our ABS exposure (though still remain overweight) and maintained our CMBS exposure given the strong technical backdrop. We ended the period with an increased overweight in emerging markets as synchronized developed market growth bodes well for the sector.
The Portfolio may use futures, forwards, options, and/or swaps for bona fide hedging, as a substitute for cash bond exposure, and/or to manage duration, yield curve, convexity, spread risk and credit risk. We also may use forward contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure. The most common derivatives the Portfolio would employ are interest rate derivatives such as Treasury and Eurodollar futures, interest rate swaps, options on futures and options on swaps. The Portfolio may also use synthetic indices (CDX) and credit default swaps (CDS) to short a position or as a substitute for cash bonds.

Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* | | Principal and notional amounts stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. |
(a) | | TBA (To Be Announced) Securities are purchased on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and no defined maturity date. The actual principal and maturity date will be determined upon settlement date. |
(b) | | Variable or floating rate security. The stated rate represents the rate at June 30, 2017. Maturity date shown for callable securities reflects the earliest possible call date. |
(c) | | Interest only security. |
(d) | | All or a portion of the security was held on loan. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of securities loaned was $114,675,282 and the collateral received consisted of cash in the amount of $116,423,755. The cash collateral investments are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and categorized as Securities Lending Reinvestments. |
(e) | | Security was valued in good faith under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. As of June 30, 2017, these securities represent 0.3% of net assets. |
(f) | | All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open futures contracts. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of securities pledged was $3,413,271. |
(g) | | All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open swap contracts. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of securities pledged was $706,068. |
(h) | | All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open reverse repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2017, the value of securities pledged amounted to $500,258,276. |
(i) | | Non-income producing; security is in default and/or issuer is in bankruptcy. |
(j) | | Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to legal restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are subsequently registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of restricted securities was $0, which is 0.0% of net assets. See details shown in the Restricted Securities table that follows. |
(k) | | Principal amount of security is adjusted for inflation. |
(l) | | Floating rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are determined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |
(m) | | Represents investment of cash collateral received from securities on loan as of June 30, 2017. |

(a) | | If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(b) | | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or indices as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation. |
(c) | | The maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments that the Portfolio could be required to make under a credit default swap contract would be the notional amount of the contract. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the referenced debt obligation or net amounts received from the settlement of purchased protection credit default swap contracts entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced debt obligation. |
(d) | | If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from pricing services selected by the Adviser pursuant to authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board. These securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its net asset value (“NAV”) to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign
BHFTII-47

BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported NAV per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign currency forward contracts are valued through an independent pricing service by interpolating between forward and spot currency rates in the London foreign exchange markets as of a designated hour on a valuation day. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, including options on swaps (“swaptions”), and futures contracts that are traded OTC are generally valued on the basis of interdealer bid and asked prices or prices provided by pricing service providers who use a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models, to determine the value of the contracts. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility and exchange rates. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Swap contracts (other than centrally cleared swaps) are marked-to-market daily based on quotations and prices supplied by market makers, broker-dealers and other pricing services. Such quotations and prices are derived utilizing observable data, including the underlying reference securities or indices, credit spread quotations and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange or a pricing service when the exchange price is not available. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearing facility requires its members to provide actionable price levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third-party prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. These securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates, including the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to produce the daily settlement price. These securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income
BHFTII-48
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, amortization of debt securities, paydown gain/loss reclasses, foreign capital gains taxes, deflationary sell adjustments and swap contract transactions. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Due to Custodian - Pursuant to the custodian agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSBT”) may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Portfolio to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft, the Portfolio is obligated to repay SSBT at the current rate of interest charged by SSBT for secured loans (currently, the federal funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to SSBT. SSBT has a lien on the Portfolio’s assets to the extent of any overdraft. At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had a payment of $13,254 due to SSBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement. Based on the short-term nature of these payments and the variable interest rate, the carrying value of the overdraft advances approximated its fair value at June 30, 2017. If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2017. The Portfolio’s average overdraft advances during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were not significant.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls - The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sells to-be-announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. For the duration of the transaction, or roll period, the Portfolio foregoes principal (including prepayments of principal) and interest paid on the securities sold. Dollar rolls are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions; gain or loss is recognized at the commencement of the term of the dollar roll and each time the mortgage-backed security is rolled.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Portfolio is required to repurchase or reacquire may be less than the agreed-upon repurchase price of those securities and that the investment performance of securities purchased with proceeds from these transactions does not exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss that would have been realized on the securities transferred or sold, as applicable, as part of the treasury or mortgage dollar roll.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities - The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities may include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBS”), and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by or payable from, mortgage loans on real property or other receivables. The value of some mortgage- or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
BHFTII-49
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
In one type of SMBS, one class receives all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security until maturity. These adjustments are netted against payments received for the IOs and the net amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. Details of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities held by the Portfolio are included in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.
The Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be negatively impacted by increased volatility of market prices and periods of illiquidity.
TBA Purchase & Forward Sale Commitments - The Portfolio may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to the settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Portfolio’s other assets. TBA forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements”.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Securities - The Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase commitment is made. The Portfolio may purchase securities under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Portfolio may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.
Upon making a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will hold liquid assets in a segregated account with the Portfolio’s custodian, or set aside liquid assets in the Portfolio’s records, worth at least the equivalent of the amount due. The liquid assets will be monitored on a daily basis and adjusted as necessary to maintain the necessary value.
High-Yield Debt Securities - The Portfolio may invest in high-yield debt securities, or “junk bonds,” which are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or, if not rated, are of equivalent quality. A portfolio with high-yield debt securities generally will be exposed to greater market risk and credit risk than a portfolio that invests only in investment grade debt securities because issuers of high-yield debt securities are generally less secure financially, are more likely to default on their obligations, and their securities are more sensitive to interest rate changes and downturns in the economy. In addition, the secondary market for lower-rated debt securities may not be as liquid as that for more highly rated debt securities. As a result, the Portfolio’s Subadviser may find it more difficult to value lower-rated debt securities or sell them and may have to sell them at prices significantly lower than the values assigned to them by the Portfolio.
Floating Rate Loans - The Portfolio may invest in loans arranged through private negotiation between one or more financial institutions. The Portfolio’s investment in any such loan may be in the form of a participation in or an assignment of the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Portfolio generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower. The Portfolio may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation or assignment. The purchase of assignments will typically result in the Portfolio having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Portfolio may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
The Portfolio may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When the Portfolio purchases assignments, it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. These loans may include participations in bridge loans, which are loans taken out by borrowers for a short period (typically less than one year) pending arrangement of more permanent financing.
The Portfolio will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Portfolio may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In
BHFTII-50

the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $6,199,778. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $28,095,467. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified institutions. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Portfolio transfers securities in exchange for cash to a financial institution or counterparty, concurrently with an agreement by the Portfolio to re-acquire the same securities at an agreed-upon price and date. During the reverse repurchase agreement period, the Portfolio continues to receive principal and interest payments on these securities. The Portfolio will establish a segregated account with its custodian in which it will maintain liquid assets equal in value to its obligations in respect of reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities transferred by the Portfolio may decline below the agreed-upon reacquisition price of the securities. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any reverse repurchase transaction, the MRA entitles the non-defaulting party with a right to set-off claims and apply property held by it in respect of any reverse repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it. Cash received in exchange for securities transferred under reverse repurchase agreements plus accrued interest payments to be made by the Portfolio to counterparties are reflected as reverse repurchase agreements on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had an outstanding reverse repurchase agreement balance for 84 days. The average amount of borrowings was $282,069,109 and the annualized weighted average interest rate was 0.85% during the 84 day period.

Secured Borrowing Transactions - The Portfolio may enter into transactions consisting of a transfer of a security by the Portfolio to a financial institution or counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to reacquire the same, or substantially the same security, at an agreed-upon price and future settlement date. Such transactions are treated as secured borrowings, and not as purchases and sales. The Portfolio receives cash from the transfer of the security to use for other investment purposes. During the term of the borrowing, the Portfolio is not entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security transferred to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. The difference between the transfer price and the reacquisition price, known as the “price drop,” is included in net investment income with the cost of the secured borrowing transaction being recorded as interest expense over the term of the borrowing.
The following table provides a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligations by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturities of those transactions, which are accounted for as secured borrowings.

3. Investments in Derivative Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts - The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to obtain investment exposure, enhance return or hedge or protect its portfolio holdings against the risk of future movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates. When entering into these contracts, the Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon future date. These contracts are valued daily and the Portfolio’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward foreign exchange rates at the valuation date, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed, the Portfolio recognizes 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 and unrealized gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. These contracts involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities of the Portfolio, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the currency holdings, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to losses if the counterparties to the

contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts. The Portfolio may also experience losses even when such contracts are used for hedging purposes. The Portfolio’s maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened.
Futures Contracts - The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts as a hedge, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Portfolio may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Portfolio must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities, which is returned when the Portfolio’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Portfolio depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expires, the 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that the market for these instruments may be illiquid and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts are exchange-traded, the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. For OTC futures, the Portfolio’s ability to terminate the positions may be more limited than in the case of exchange-traded positions and may also involve the risk that securities dealers participating in such transactions would fail to meet their obligations to the Portfolio.
Options Contracts - An option contract purchased by the Portfolio gives the Portfolio the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying instrument at a fixed exercise price during a specified period. Call options written by the Portfolio give the holder the right to buy the underlying instrument from the Portfolio at a fixed exercise price; put options written by the Portfolio give the holder the right to sell the underlying instrument to the Portfolio at a fixed exercise price.
The Portfolio may use options to hedge against changes in values of securities the Portfolio owns or expects to purchase, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. Writing puts or buying calls tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument and writing calls or buying puts tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument, and can be used to hedge other Portfolio investments. For options used to hedge the Portfolio’s investments, the potential risk to the Portfolio is that the change in value of options contracts may not correspond perfectly to the change in value of the hedged instruments. The Portfolio also bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of purchased options is typically the premium initially paid for the option plus any unrealized gains.
The main risk associated with purchasing an option is that the option expires without being exercised. In this case, the option is worthless when it expires and the premium paid for the option is considered a realized loss. The risk associated with writing a call option is that the Portfolio may forgo the opportunity for a profit if the market value of the underlying instrument increases and the option is exercised, requiring the Portfolio to sell the underlying instrument at a price below its market value. When the Portfolio writes a call option on a security it does not own, its exposure on such an option is theoretically unlimited. The risk in writing a put option is that the Portfolio may incur a loss if the market value of the underlying instrument decreases and the option is exercised, requiring the Portfolio to purchase the underlying instrument at a price above its market value. In addition, the Portfolio risks not being able to enter into a closing transaction for the written option as the result of an illiquid market for the option.
Purchases of put and call options are recorded as investments, the value of which are marked-to-market daily. When the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium initially paid for the option. When the Portfolio exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying instrument and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid for the put option. When the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid for the call option.
The premium received by the Portfolio for a written option is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. When a written option expires without being exercised or the Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Portfolio realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying instrument and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss, as adjusted for the premium received, from the sale of the underlying instrument. When a written put option is exercised, the premium received by the Portfolio is offset against the amount paid for the purchase of the underlying instrument.

The purpose of inflation-capped options is to protect the buyer from inflation, above a specified rate, eroding the value of investments in inflation-linked products with a given notional exposure. Inflation-capped options are used to give downside protection to investments in inflation-linked products by establishing a floor on the value of such products.
Swaptions are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swaptions is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option.
Options on Exchange-Traded Futures Contract (“Futures Option”) is an option contract in which the underlying instrument is a single futures contract.

Swap Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements in which the Portfolio and a counterparty agree to either make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are either privately negotiated in the OTC market (“OTC swaps”) or executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements for the purposes of managing exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk, or for other purposes. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be paid or received, as applicable, by the Portfolio as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Securities posted by the Portfolio as collateral for swap contracts are identified in the Schedule of Investments and restricted cash, if any, is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Centrally Cleared Swaps: Clearinghouses currently offer clearing derivative transactions which include interest rate and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Portfolio typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Portfolio’s exposure to the credit risk of the original counterparty. The Portfolio typically will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Portfolio would be required to post in an uncleared derivative transaction.
Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily. The fair value of an OTC swap is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The changes in value, if any, are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (such as credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Upon termination or maturity of the swap, upfront premiums are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations.

Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit, and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, or that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions or interest rates. In addition, entering into swap agreements involves documentation risk resulting from the possibility that the parties to a swap agreement may disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreement. The Portfolio may enter into swap transactions with counterparties in accordance with guidelines established by the Board. These guidelines provide for a minimum credit rating for each counterparty and various credit enhancement techniques (for example, collateralization of amounts due from counterparties) to limit exposure to counterparties that have lower credit ratings. A Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted value of the net cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive, or the fair value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to centrally-cleared swaps is mitigated due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Credit Default Swaps: The Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. Credit default swaps involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (referred to as the the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs for the referenced entity, obligation or index. A credit event is defined under the terms of each swap agreement and may include, but is not limited to, underlying entity default, bankruptcy, write-down, principal shortfall or interest shortfall. As the seller of protection, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Portfolio will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index), or pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index). In return, the Portfolio would receive from the counterparty an upfront or periodic stream of payments throughout the life of the credit default swap agreement provided that no credit event has occurred. As the seller of protection, the Portfolio will effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the credit default swap.
The Portfolio may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities held in its portfolio. This would involve the risk that the investment may be worthless when it expires and would only generate income in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial instability). It would also involve credit risk, whereby the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Portfolio in the event of a default. As the buyer of protection, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Portfolio will either receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index), or receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index). If no credit event occurs and the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, the Portfolio will typically recover nothing under the credit default swap agreement, but it will have had to pay the required upfront payment or stream of continuing payments under the credit default swap agreement. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted obligation.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a credit event involving an entity in the index, the credit event is settled based on that entity’s weight in the index. A Portfolio may use credit default swaps on credit indices as a hedge for credit default swaps or bonds held in the portfolio, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many individual credit default swaps to achieve similar effect. Credit default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and may be used to speculate on changes in credit quality.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on a credit index or corporate or sovereign issuer, serve as some indication of the status of the payment/performance risk and the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity or index also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may reflect upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads generally represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the particular swap agreement. When no implied credit spread is available for a credit default swap, the current unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the position may be used as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Portfolio as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2017, for which the Portfolio is the seller of protection, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities.
Interest Rate Swaps: The Portfolio may enter into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rates or to protect against currency fluctuations, to adjust its interest rate sensitivity (duration), to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment, or otherwise as a substitute for a direct investment in debt securities. The Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Portfolio holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, the Portfolio may enter into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating rate, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Other forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (1) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; (2) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”; and (3) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of interest rate swaps is typically the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive.

4. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Collateral requirements may differ by type of derivative or investment, as applicable. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange-traded derivatives (e.g., futures contracts and exchange-traded options), while collateral terms are contract specific for OTC traded derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swap agreements and OTC options).
For derivatives traded under an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar master agreement, the collateral requirements are netted across all transactions traded under such agreement and one amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. The ISDA Master Agreement gives the Portfolio the right, upon an event of default by the applicable counterparty or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the Portfolio’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Portfolio under the applicable transactions, if any. However, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of assets and liabilities in
BHFTII-58
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. The enforceability of the right to offset may vary by jurisdiction. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolio under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTA”) govern the considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain forward settling transactions, such as TBA securities and delayed-delivery or secured borrowings transactions by and between the Portfolio and select counterparties. The MSFTA maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency, which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to Portfolio assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the Portfolio. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
Foreign Investment Risk: The investments by the Portfolio in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Because securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies and may pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Portfolio. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolio to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

6. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$6,270,272 | | | 0.400 | % | | Of the first $1 billion |
| | | 0.350 | % | | Of the next $1 billion |
| | | 0.300 | % | | Of the next $1 billion |
| | | 0.250 | % | | On amounts in excess of $3 billion |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.030% | | Of the first $1 billion |
0.025% | | Of the next $1 billion |
Any reductions in total advisory fees paid by the Portfolio due to these waivers may be reduced or eliminated by changes in the advisory fee structure at higher asset levels. Brighthouse Investment Advisers will receive advisory fees equal to 0.325% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets for amounts over $2 billion but less than $3 billion (0.025% over the contractual advisory fee rate) and 0.325% for amounts over $3 billion but less than $3.4 billion (0.075% over the contractual advisory fee rate). As a result, the dollar amount of the waiver will be reduced as assets grow beyond $2 billion up to $3.4 billion, but the advisory fee net of waivers will never exceed the contractual dollar amount that would otherwise be payable under the advisory fee.
An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of
BHFTII-60
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$122,255,897 | | $ | 190,475,439 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 13,991,825 | | | $ | 122,255,897 | | | $ | 204,467,264 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$119,161,258 | | $ | — | | | $ | (64,170,665 | ) | | $ | (27,394,335 | ) | | $ | 27,596,258 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had post-enactment short-term accumulated capital losses of $1,466,695 and accumulated long term capital losses of $25,927,640, and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio returned 17.64%, 17.46%, and 17.56%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index1, returned 13.99%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
U.S. stocks had a strong start to the year, with several equity indices rallying to record highs amid strong macro data, improving corporate earnings and, most notably, optimism around the new administration’s policies and pledged pro-growth initiatives, including tax relief, regulatory rollbacks and increased fiscal spending. The final weeks of the first quarter saw some profit taking as investor enthusiasm waned after the failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act called into question the Trump administration’s ability to push through further reforms in 2017. U.S. stocks continued their climb in the second quarter, but appreciated at a slower rate than in the first quarter as political risk and high valuation metrics influenced investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve continued on its previously telegraphed path of gradual monetary policy normalization, raising the federal funds rate by 25 basis points in March and then again in June, despite a weaker patch of data (especially inflation readings).
All told, U.S. stocks registered the best first half in years, with the broad market S&P 500 Index up 9.34% for the six-month period. On a sector basis, leadership in 2017 reversed from the end of 2016. Sectors that had been the biggest beneficiaries of the so-called “Trump trade” (Financials, Industrials and other cyclicals) gave back some relative gains, while growth segments Information Technology (“IT”), Health Care and Consumer Discretionary led the market higher. Energy was the worst-performing sector amid a sharp reversal in crude oil.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index during the six-month period. In sector terms, IT was the largest contributor to relative performance, with notable strength among internet software & services holdings. The consumer sectors also aided results. Internet & direct marketing retail names, positioning within specialty retail and lack of exposure to media companies benefited in the Consumer Discretionary sector, while selection within the beverage industry and an underweight to food & staples retailing added to relative performance in Consumer Staples. Conversely, Financials was a prime detractor from returns due to weakness among bank and diversified financial services holdings. Stock selection in Health Care, in particular biotechnology, also weighed on performance, as did a slight overweight to the Energy sector.
The Portfolio’s top individual contributor was Tencent Holdings. Tencent continues to outperform as its revenue growth accelerates, proving our thesis of growing monetization of the company’s dominant WeChat communication platform. Our view at period end remained that the stock’s price is undervaluing its growth and profitability potential.
Positions in Activision Blizzard and Amazon.com also added value. Activision shares gained following strong earnings performance and increased investor confidence in video game secular growth. We continue to like Activision as the digital transformation in the video game industry enables higher monetization, higher revenue and higher margins. Amazon outperformed as continued underperformance among traditional retailers focused investors on its share gain opportunities. In addition, the company’s advertising opportunity has come to the fore. Our view remains that Amazon has many years of growth ahead and, accordingly, at period end we maintained our overweight.
The largest individual detractor was Alexion Pharmaceuticals. Early in the period, Alexion underperformed despite reporting fourth-quarter 2016 earnings and 2017 guidance that were in line with expectations. Later, the company disclosed that its regional office in Brazil is being investigated for alleged sales irregularities pertaining to its flagship product Soliris. While Soliris sales in Brazil account for less than 5% of overall revenue, the news heightened investor concerns over the company’s sales practices and management’s control of its operations. The company then also announced the departure of its interim Chief Financial Officer, head of R&D and head of Human Resources. While not entirely surprising, the departures further contributed to negative sentiment. We are actively following these developments and have engaged in a discussion with management to further understand the long-term impact from these changes.
Elsewhere, the position in Acuity Brands was a drag. The LED lighting leader underperformed after reporting weaker than expected results in its fiscal 2017 first and second quarters due to an industry slowing in short-cycle business. While management does not expect the business to rebound substantially until 2018, its fiscal third quarter showed improvement and Acuity beat consensus expectations on both top line and margin. We continue to like the stock as the company takes share within the industry, non-residential data points remain strong, and we think innovation in networked lighting will drive growth higher in 2018. An underweight to Apple also weighed on returns. Despite first-half strength, we maintained our underweight, believing future outperformance of the shares requires sustainable iPhone unit growth beyond the iPhone 8 cycle.
Volatility will likely remain a constant feature given uncertainty around the likelihood and timing of policy changes by the new administration and risks around macro events. As always, we will look to take advantage of any incremental volatility to upgrade the Portfolio, adding to favorite holdings on weakness and/or acquiring new names where the risk/reward is favorable.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
From a positioning perspective, a key focus of our investment process is identifying innovative companies with business models that we believe will disrupt incumbents across a whole range of sectors in our economy. The combination of a continued drop in computing costs, easy-to-use mobile applications for e-commerce, increasing adoption of cloud computing, and enhancements in delivery underscore why we think the digital disruption wave will only accelerate in the years ahead. This will continue to have implications for equity markets, with U.S. innovation leadership poised to thrive, creating plenty of alpha-generation opportunities for bottom-up stock pickers who can effectively identify disruptive themes ahead of their market impact, as well as the likely beneficiaries.
At the end of the period, the largest sector overweight in the Portfolio was IT, followed by Financials and Health Care. Consumer Staples and Industrials were the largest underweights.

1 The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged measure of performance of the largest capitalized U.S. companies, within the Russell 1000 companies, that have higher price-to-book ratios and forecasted growth values.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to broker commission recapture, distribution re-designations, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and foreign currency transactions. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $2,591,068. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $27,836,427. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.

BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:

5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |

Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of the Adviser; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$26,232,560 | | $ | 83,570,232 | | | $ | 130,815,025 | | | $ | 249,000,590 | | | $ | 157,047,585 | | | $ | 332,570,822 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$1,297,448 | | $ | 43,117,114 | | | $ | 214,668,007 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 259,082,569 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio returned -0.78%, -0.92%, and -0.72%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index1, returned 4.66%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
U.S. stocks had a strong start to the year, with several equity indices rallying to record highs amid strong macroeconomic data, improving corporate earnings and, most notably, optimism around the new administration’s policies and pledged pro-growth initiatives, including tax relief, regulatory rollbacks and increased fiscal spending. The final weeks of the first quarter saw some profit taking as investor enthusiasm waned after the failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act called into question the Trump administration’s ability to push through further reforms in 2017. U.S. stocks continued their climb in the second quarter, but appreciated at a slower rate than in the first quarter as political risk and high valuation metrics influenced investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve continued on its previously telegraphed path of gradual monetary policy normalization, raising the federal funds rate by 25 basis points in March and then again in June, despite a weaker patch of data (especially inflation readings).
All told, U.S. stocks registered the best first half in years, with the broad market S&P 500 Index up 9.34% for the six-month period. On a sector basis, leadership in 2017 reversed from the end of 2016. Sectors that had been the biggest beneficiaries of the so-called “Trump trade” (financials, industrials and other cyclicals) gave back some relative gains, while growth segments information technology (IT), health care and consumer discretionary led the market higher. Energy was the worst-performing sector amid a sharp reversal in crude oil.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index during the six-month period. Stock selection in the Energy, Consumer Staples, and Information Technology sectors detracted from relative performance over the period. An overweight allocation and stock selection in Health Care, as well as stock selection in Materials contributed to relative performance during the period.
In Energy, falling oil prices during the period weighed on our overweight positions in oil producers Devon Energy, Marathon Oil, and Gulfport Energy. While we continued to see idiosyncratic value opportunities in these names, we reduced the size of the Portfolio’s energy risk exposure. Stock selection in Consumer Staples, specifically our overweight position in grocery store operator Kroger, also hurt relative results. The stock came under pressure after the company lowered 2017 earnings guidance and the announced Amazon-Whole Foods deal. At period end we continued to believe Kroger is a quality franchise and well equipped, relative to its peers, to withstand new secular pressures. While we evaluate the long-term implications of the Amazon-Whole Foods deal, we believe the market has fully priced in the risk. Our position in Qualcomm drove underperformance in the Information Technology sector. Apple’s lawsuit filed in January has put pressure on Qualcomm shares, but we believe the company’s current valuation implies close to a worst-case scenario and see compelling value on a 2-year time horizon.
Stock selection in Health Care, notably our overweight positions in Baxter International and Zimmer, Biomet generated positive performance following strong first quarter earnings results. An overweight allocation to Health Care, the best performing sector in the Index year-to-date, also contributed positively. At period end, the sector remained a large overweight in the Portfolio as we continued to believe the sector is attractively valued relative to other defensive areas of the market with positive long-term secular growth drivers. Finally, our position in Akzo Nobel in the Materials sector benefited relative performance after receiving a buy-out offer from PPG.
At period end, we were positioned in the areas of the market where we see the greatest value. Our largest absolute exposures remained in the Financials, Health Care and Information Technology sectors. As a result of market movement and trading activity, the Portfolio’s allocation to the Information Technology and Consumer Staples sectors increased modestly, and the weight in Financials and Energy declined. As of the end of June, the Portfolio was overweight the Information Technology, Health Care, and Financials sectors and underweight the Industrials, Real Estate, Consumer Staples, and Energy sectors, relative to the Index.

1 The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged measure of the largest capitalized U.S. domiciled companies with a less than average growth orientation. Companies in this Index generally have a low price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratio, higher dividend yields and lower forecasted growth values.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to distribution re-designations, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances, real estate investment trust (“REIT”) adjustments and foreign currency transactions. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $ 40,320,377 . Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $15,165,569. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Investments in Derivative Instruments
Futures Contracts - The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts as a hedge, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Portfolio may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Portfolio must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities, which is returned when the Portfolio’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Portfolio depending
BHFTII-14
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expires, the 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that the market for these instruments may be illiquid and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts are exchange-traded, the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. For OTC futures, the Portfolio’s ability to terminate the positions may be more limited than in the case of exchange-traded positions and may also involve the risk that securities dealers participating in such transactions would fail to meet their obligations to the Portfolio.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Portfolio entered into equity index futures contracts which were subject to equity price risk. During the period April 25, 2017 through April 27, 2017, the Portfolio had bought and sold $7,986,611 in notional cost on equity index futures contracts. At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio did not have any open futures contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had realized losses in the amount of $7,916 which are shown under Net realized loss on futures contracts in the Statement of Operations.
4. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
5. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 173,257,085 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 739,538,934 | |
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Portfolio engaged in security transactions with other affiliated Portfolios. These amounted to $101,092,087 in sales of investments, which are included above, and resulted in realized gains of $29,012,430.

6. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$4,100,325 | | | 0.700 | % | | On the first $250 million |
| | | 0.650 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.600 | % | | On amounts in excess of $750 million |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.020% | | Of the first $250 million |
0.025% | | On the next $500 million |
0.050% | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of the Adviser; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$45,420,920 | | $ | 91,191,427 | | | $ | 90,017,485 | | | $ | 64,234,716 | | | $ | 135,438,405 | | | $ | 155,426,143 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$25,503,850 | | $ | — | | | $ | 197,954,193 | | | $ | (9,327,563 | ) | | $ | 214,130,480 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had long-term accumulated capital losses of $9,327,563 and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.
At a meeting on August 17, 2017, the Board approved a change of subadviser for the Portfolio from BlackRock Advisors, LLC to Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS”) to be effective on or about September 1, 2017, pursuant to a new subadvisory agreement between the Adviser and MFS. Effective on or about September 1, 2017, the name of the Portfolio will change to MFS Value II Portfolio.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio returned 0.40%, 0.27%, and 0.32%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-month T-Bill Index1, returned 0.31%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT/ CONDITIONS
On the heels of a 0.25% rate hike at end of 2016, remarks from members of the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) during the first quarter of 2017 generally indicated an openness to the further removal of monetary accommodation. Indeed, after clearly telegraphing their intentions in the weeks immediately preceding the March 15, 2017 meeting, the FOMC delivered a 0.25% increase in the federal funds target range to 0.75%-1.00%. The strength of the U.S. labor market and continued progress toward the FOMC’s inflation target of 2.00% were cited as factors contributing to the decision to continue along the path toward the normalization of interest rates. Specifically, the FOMC’s preferred measure of inflation—the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index—increased 1.8% on an annual basis in February, while broader measures of inflation came in above 2% during the quarter.
While there has been moderate weakness in inflation, the FOMC stated that they believe this to be transitory and delivered their third consecutive quarterly 0.25% interest rate increase at their June 14, 2017 meeting. During this meeting the FOMC also gave an update on its balance sheet normalization strategy, confirming that it would likely kick off “this year.” The amounts of Treasury and agency mortgage backed securities that will not be reinvested will be relatively small at the outset. Similarly, the pace at with such securities will “roll off” of the balance sheet will be measured. While the FOMC appears committed to interest rate and balance sheet normalization, market participants appear less convinced about the outlook set forth by policy makers. Specifically, futures contracts for federal funds are priced in for less than two 0.25% rate hikes by the end of 2018, as compared with four increases stated in the FOMC’s Summary of Economic Projections.
During the first half of 2017, the credit curve inside of a year remained extremely tight (credit spreads remained relatively compressed) with issuers being reluctant to increase issuance and demand in the short term credit markets continuing to exceed supply. Floating rate note issuance has remained strong as demand has outpaced supply with investors preferring floating rate notes over fixed rate investments with the FOMC continuing to tighten monetary policy.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
Portfolio positioning during the first half of the year reflected our view of the course that the FOMC would likely take as they proceed toward policy normalization as well as our view of the supply challenges facing the short-term market. Our interest rate outlook led us to maintain a relatively short Weighted Average Maturity (“WAM”) over the period, ending June at 30 days. Compression of credit spreads during the second quarter factored into the decision to allow the Weighted Average Life (“WAL”) to shorten to 71 days at period end from the low 80-day range in March. The Portfolio added floating rate instruments indexed to 1 month and 3 month LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) with final maturities of 4 months to 13 months. Spreads ranged from 0.14% to 0.52% over 1 month LIBOR and 0.17% to 0.65% over 3 month LIBOR. Select investments were made in instruments with fixed-rate coupons with maturities of 3 months to 8 months at yields of 1.04% to 1.51%.
On June 30, approximately 34% of the Portfolio was comprised of floating rate securities indexed off of 1-month LIBOR (28%) and 3-month LIBOR (6%). These contributed 0.50% to gross yield while fixed rate investments contributed the balance. At period end, we continued to place investments with the top 2 to 5 systemically important issuers domiciled in each of a select group of countries.

1 The Bank of America/Merrill Lynch 3-Month T-Bill Index is composed of a single 90-day Treasury Bill issue, or potentially a seasoned 6-month or 1-year Treasury Bill issue, that is replaced on a monthly basis.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each as “pricing services”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the net asset values (“NAVs”) of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. The Portfolio had no permanent book-tax differences at December 31, 2016.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Due to Custodian - Pursuant to the custodian agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSBT”) may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Portfolio to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft, the Portfolio is obligated to repay SSBT at the current rate of interest charged by SSBT for secured loans (currently, the federal funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to SSBT. SSBT has a lien on the Portfolio’s assets to the extent of any overdraft. At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had a payment of $1,314 due to SSBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement. Based on the short-term nature of these payments and the variable interest rate, the carrying value of the overdraft advances approximated its fair value at June 30, 2017. If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2017. The Portfolio’s average overdraft advances during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were not significant.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $ 127,000,000, which is reflected as repurchase agreement on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering
BHFTII-12
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$1,626,458 | | | 0.350 | % | | Of the first $1 billion |
| | | 0.300 | % | | Of amount in excess of $1 billion |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.025% | | Of the first $1 billion |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
5. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
6. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$ | 324,900 | | | $ | 13,344 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 324,900 | | | $ | 13,344 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Loss Carryforwards | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$ | 1,627,045 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 276,990 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,904,035 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
8. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Managed by Artisan Partners Limited Partnership
Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio returned 4.26%, 4.13%, and 4.18%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index1, returned 5.18%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Overall, markets posted strong gains to begin the year as optimism from the fourth quarter of 2016 carried on, pushing stocks higher and pricing in expectations of tax cuts, regulatory reform and expansionary infrastructure spending at the hands of the new U.S. administration. Broad market indices were largely positive, and growth stocks meaningfully bested value stocks.
Sectors were broadly positive, with the notable exception of Energy. Oil prices reached year-to-date lows in June, as sentiment turned negative on investor worries that the market could take longer than expected to balance. Optimism surrounding the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC’s”) production cuts buoyed oil prices toward the end of 2016, and while production cuts have occurred, oil inventories haven’t been dropping as investors expected, pressuring oil prices and stocks in the sector.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio advanced, but fell shy of the Russell Midcap Value Index during the period. The Portfolio’s above benchmark exposure to the Energy sector was a headwind, as was stock selection. In fact, four of our bottom five names during the period stemmed from the sector (Devon Energy, Hess, Apache and Cimarex). We remain of the belief that oil inventories are going to rebalance, and our long-term theses in these names remain intact. In the interim, we believe these are high quality names, and valuations look to us to be particularly undemanding.
Although the Portfolio’s Industrials holdings aided on an absolute basis, they were a source of relative weakness during the period, driven by weakness in engineering and construction company Fluor. Shares of Fluor have been under pressure due to the bankruptcy filing of Westinghouse, which was in the process of constructing two nuclear reactors in which Fluor is the general contractor. Shares were further pressured by disappointment in management’s softer-than-anticipated forward guidance. The company has strung together a couple of quarters of poor margins, project write-downs and disappointing backlog bookings. Despite the near-term headwinds, our long-term thesis remains intact. Fluor produces strong free cash flow, most of which is returned to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Its balance sheet is strong with a net cash position.
On the upside, strong stock selection coupled with the Portfolio’s above-benchmark exposure to Consumer Discretionary was a tailwind. Shares of Liberty Ventures and Liberty Interactive QVC have been standouts. Shares rallied as Liberty Ventures announced the acquisition of Alaskan cable and wireless firm General Communications, forming GCI Liberty. As part of the deal, a mix of assets and liabilities are being reattributed to Liberty Interactive QVC, transitioning Liberty Ventures and Liberty Interactive QVC from tracking stocks to asset-backed securities. In our view, the complicated tracking-stock structure of the companies was a headwind on multiples, and the transition provides better visibility.
Positive stock selection in the Materials sector also aided results during the period, driven by strength in chemicals company Celanese. Faced with the headwind of a challenging macroeconomic environment, Celanese is controlling what it can and executing well—realizing cost efficiencies and productivity gains.
There is an old saying that it’s easier to fall for anything than to stand for something. Our job, as we see it, is to stick to our time-tested investment philosophy. Our goal is to focus on what we can control—aiming to put the business, balance sheet and valuations on our side. We have reached into unloved areas of the market in order to find opportunities, and many of our stocks have lived through a bear market over the last few years while the broader market hit new highs. It is our belief that valuations, business strength and financial condition ultimately matter, much more than any sentiment swings.
Our decisions are always made from the bottom-up, without regard to index construction. At period-end, the Portfolio had above-benchmark exposure to the Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Energy sectors. Meanwhile, the Portfolio had below-benchmark exposure to what have been the more highly prized, perceived “stable” areas of the market (e.g., Real Estate, Utilities, Consumer Staples, and Health Care).

1 The Russell Midcap Value Index is an unmanaged measure of performance of those Russell Midcap companies (the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index) with lower price-to-book ratios and forecasted growth values.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to distribution re-designations, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and broker commission recapture. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $109,013,408. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $60,703,698. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
BHFTII-14
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 119,343,581 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 206,710,125 | |
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$4,596,376 | | | 0.820 | % | | Of the first $1 billion |
| | | 0.780 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Artisan Partners Limited Partnership (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$10,818,093 | | $ | 14,362,758 | | | $ | 118,334,861 | | | $ | 165,788,757 | | | $ | 129,152,954 | | | $ | 180,151,515 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$7,739,673 | | $ | — | | | $ | 276,102,312 | | | $ | (20,020,425 | ) | | $ | 263,821,560 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had short-term accumulated capital losses of $2,844,097 and long-term accumulated capital losses of $17,176,328 and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.

9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A and B shares of the Brighthouse/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio returned 16.82% and 16.65%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI World ex-U.S. Small Cap Index1, returned 15.45%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
In U.S. dollar terms, developed ex-U.S. markets had positive performance for the six-month period, outperforming the U.S. market but trailing emerging markets. The MSCI World ex-USA IMI (net dividends) returned 13.2%, as compared to 8.9% for the Russell 3000 Index and 18.1% for the MSCI Emerging Markets IMI (net dividends).
The U.S. dollar depreciated against most developed ex-U.S. market currencies, particularly the euro. Overall, currency movements had a positive impact on the U.S. dollar-denominated returns of developed ex-U.S. markets.
Small caps (MSCI World ex-U.S. Small Cap Index, net dividends) outperformed large caps (MSCI World ex-U.S. Index, net dividends) by 2.6% for the six-month period. In terms of relative value, large cap value stocks (MSCI World ex-U.S. Value Index, net dividends) underperformed large cap growth stocks (MSCI World ex-U.S. Growth Index, net dividends) by 5.3%, and small cap value stocks (MSCI World ex-U.S. Small Cap Value Index, net dividends) underperformed small cap growth stocks (MSCI World ex-U.S. Small Cap Growth Index, net dividends) by 3.6%.
Profitability premiums were positive in developed ex-U.S. markets for the six-month period. “High-profitability” stocks, as determined by the Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional”), outperformed among both large and small caps.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World ex-U.S. Small Cap Index (net dividends), by 138 basis points, net of fees.
The Portfolio’s general exclusion of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) contributed to outperformance, as REITs underperformed most other sectors during the period. Additionally, the Portfolio’s exclusion of stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative price, as determined by Dimensional, contributed positively to relative performance, as those securities underperformed. Dimensional defines the small cap universe differently than does MSCI, and as a result the Portfolio had a greater allocation to France. This greater allocation also benefited relative performance, as France was among the strongest-performing countries in the index.
The Portfolio held over 3,500 securities as of June 30, 2017, and is diversified across both countries and sectors. Dimensional designs the Portfolio to provide broad exposure to small cap securities within non-U.S. developed markets. As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance is determined principally by broad trends in non-U.S. developed equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited group of securities in a particular industry, country, or asset class. Dimensional will continue to pursue a disciplined approach to identify securities for purchase or sale in the Portfolio.

1 The MSCI World ex-U.S. Small Cap Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of stocks with market capitalizations between US $200 million and $800 million across 23 developed markets, excluding the United States. The index returns shown above were calculated with net dividends: they reflect the reinvestment of dividends after the deduction of the maximum possible withholding taxes.
2 Inception date of the Class A and Class B shares is 10/31/08. Index since inception return is based on the Portfolio’s inception date.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Brighthouse/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers two classes of shares: Class A and B shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the
BHFTII-44
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”). These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No
BHFTII-45
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $1,711,558. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $4,085,211. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.

3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Foreign Investment Risk: The investments by the Portfolio in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Because securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies and may pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Portfolio. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolio to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 12,091,343 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 58,008,155 | |
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$2,803,392 | | | 0.850 | % | | Of the first $100 million |
| | | 0.800 | % | | On amounts in excess of $100 million |
BHFTII-47
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | | | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets | |
0.050% | | Of the first $ | 100 million | |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A and B Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$14,816,351 | | $ | 14,989,927 | | | $ | 40,638,699 | | | $ | 114,053,758 | | | $ | 55,455,050 | | | $ | 129,043,685 | |

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$17,911,663 | | $ | 30,200,215 | | | $ | 75,123,135 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 123,235,013 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio returned 8.59%, 8.50%, and 8.56%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmarks, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index1 and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2, returned 9.34% and 2.27%, respectively. A blend of the S&P 500 Index (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40%) returned 6.48%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
U.S. equities rose during the first half of 2017 despite plunging oil prices, heightened political risk, and two Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) rate hikes. The first quarter of 2017 was marked by continued optimism in Trump policy expectations and generally encouraging economic data. Steady labor-market gains, along with rising stock prices and optimism about faster economic growth, helped consumer confidence jump to its highest level in 16 years. Despite investor concern over stretched valuations and overly optimistic policy expectations, the market hit a series of record highs early in the first half of the year.
Stocks ended June with a 9.3% year-to-date gain, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Although U.S. economic data released during second quarter of 2017 was mixed and geopolitical risks remained part of the overall narrative, U.S. and global equities continued to climb. Emmanuel Macron’s victory in the French presidential election was widely seen as supportive for the stability of the European Union. Furthermore, continued solid global economic data, strong year-over-year corporate earnings growth, and the Fed’s initial plan for balance sheet normalization later this year, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated, helped stoke investors’ bullish sentiment. Some unfavorable developments during the second quarter included disappointing manufacturing data, weak auto sales, and lackluster housing reports.
Mid- and large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P Midcap 400, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 indices, respectively. All three groups posted strong positive returns during the six-month period.
Global fixed income markets generated strong gains throughout the period amid heightened political uncertainty. Despite concerns about prospects for retailers, particularly in the U.S., generally solid corporate earnings and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets and spreads tightened further. In the U.S., political controversies—in particular, the ongoing investigation into alleged involvement by Russia in the 2016 presidential election—led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the U.K. presented potential sources of volatility, but proved benign in the aftermath. Most currencies strengthened versus the U.S. dollar as market participants seemed doubtful that the Fed would deliver on its projected tightening path.
Sovereign yield curves flattened across most developed markets. Short-end yields increased—especially in Germany, the U.K., and Canada—driven by hawkish comments from their respective central banks. However, lack of global inflation suppressed long-end yields. Intermediate and long-end U.S. Treasury yields fell on diminished expectations of fiscal stimulus. Japanese government bond yields, anchored by the Bank of Japan’s yield-targeting policy, were little changed. Globally, most spread sectors posted positive absolute and excess returns as spreads compressed, led by lower-rated sectors.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed its custom benchmark, consisting of 60% S&P 500 Index / 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, for the period ended June 30, 2017.
The equity portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. Given the industry-neutral structure of the Portfolio, stock selection was the primary driver of the relative performance. In particular, selection within the Information Technology, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributed the most to relative results. This was partially offset by weaker stock selection within the Energy sector.
The Portfolio’s exposure to Wayfair and Arista Networks boosted relative results, as did being underweight weak-performing benchmark constituent Exxon Mobil, and not holding Verizon or AT&T. Wayfair, the online home furnishings specialist, reported strong first quarter results which sent the stock price up. Wayfair revealed that quarterly revenue had climbed 30% to almost $1 billion as the company continues to take share in the North American home category segment.
The Portfolio’s holdings in Newfield Exploration and Advance Auto Parts were among the detractors from relative performance during the period. Newfield Exploration’s stock price declined as the market reacted negatively to conservative guidance from company management in the beginning of the period and faced headwinds as oil prices trended lower. Advance Auto Parts’ stock was down during the period as the automotive aftermarket industry was weighed down by demand headwinds following a record warm winter. As of the end of the period, we maintained the Portfolio’s position in Newfield Exploration and trimmed the position in Advance Auto Parts. Capital One also detracted. We modestly reduced the Portfolio’s position in Capital One, but the stock remains a top active position in the Financials sector as we see upside in banks as a result of the abating regulatory burdens and de-risked balance sheets.
The fixed income portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, for the period. Sector allocation contributed positively to relative performance. The Portfolio’s exposure to non-Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities, High Yield, and Collateralized Loan Obligations

(“CLOs”) contributed to relative outperformance. Exposure to Emerging Markets Debt also contributed to results. Additionally, the Portfolio maintained an allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) to position for rising inflation expectations, which detracted from relative performance during the second quarter in light of a less hawkish Fed, weak results from the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and doubts over expanded fiscal policy.
During the period, the fixed income portion of the Portfolio used Treasury futures, swaps, and options to manage duration and yield curve positioning. The Portfolio also used currency forwards, futures, and options to implement non-U.S. rate and currency positions. Credit default swaps (“CDX”) were used to manage credit exposure, and investment grade and high yield CDX index positions were used as a source of liquidity and to manage overall portfolio risk.
The equity portion of the Portfolio is generally industry-neutral relative to the benchmark. At period end, the Portfolio had no exposure to the Telecommunication Services sector as we see better opportunities in the broadband cable companies which are categorized in the Consumer Discretionary sector. On an absolute basis, the Portfolio’s largest exposures at the end of the period were to the Software & Services, Capital Goods, Health Care Equipment & Services, and Food, Beverage & Tobacco industries at the end of the period. The Portfolio increased its exposure modestly to the Capital Goods industry and decreased its exposure to the Diversified Financials industry.
At the end of the period, the fixed income portion of the Portfolio had a short duration bias as a result of the team’s belief that the Fed is likely to hike rates more aggressively than what was implied by market pricing and continued to be positioned for rising inflation expectations. The Portfolio ended the period underweight credit, but continued to favor Financials issuers. The Portfolio was overweight Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”) and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Portfolio maintained allocations to non-Agency MBS, CLOs, Bank Loans, and BB rated High Yield as of the end of the period.
At the end of the period, the Portfolio’s asset allocation break down was approximately a 60% allocation to the equity portion and a 40% allocation to the fixed income portion of the Portfolio. This represents a marginal decrease in the equity allocation and increase in the fixed income allocation from the beginning of the period reflecting strength in the equity markets and expectations for lower volatility.

1 The Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index is an unmanaged index consisting of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-weighted index (stock price times number of shares outstanding) with each stock’s weight in the Index proportionate to its market value.
2 The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

(d) | | Illiquid security. As of June 30, 2017, these securities represent 0.7% of net assets. |
(e) | | TBA (To Be Announced) Securities are purchased on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and no defined maturity date. The actual principal and maturity date will be determined upon settlement date. |
(f) | | Variable or floating rate security. The stated rate represents the rate at June 30, 2017. Maturity date shown for callable securities reflects the earliest possible call date. |
(g) | | Interest only security. |
(h) | | Principal only security. |
(i) | | All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open centrally cleared swap contracts. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of securities pledged was $2,934,463. |

These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are subsequently registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of restricted securities was $5,310,167, which is 0.4% of net assets. See details shown in the Restricted Securities table that follows. |
(n) | | Floating rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan |
| | facility and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are determined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |
(o) | | This loan will settle after June 30, 2017, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
(p) | | The rate shown represents current yield to maturity. |
(q) | | Represents investment of cash collateral received from securities on loan as of June 30, 2017. |
(r) | | As of June 30, 2017, the aggregate cost of investments was $1,315,674,822. The aggregate unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments were $148,967,382 and $(23,268,733), respectively, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $125,698,649. |

(a) | | If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(b) | | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or indices as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation. |

(c) | | The maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments that the Portfolio could be required to make under a credit default swap contract would be the notional amount of the contract. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the referenced debt obligation or net amounts received from the settlement of purchased protection credit default swap contracts entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced debt obligation. |
(d) | | If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946-Financial Services-Investment Companies and Topic 820-Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from pricing services selected by the Adviser pursuant to authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board. These securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its net asset value (“NAV”) to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign
BHFTII-41
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported NAV per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign currency forward contracts are valued through an independent pricing service by interpolating between forward and spot currency rates in the London foreign exchange markets as of a designated hour on a valuation day. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, including options on swaps (“swaptions”), and futures contracts that are traded OTC are generally valued on the basis of interdealer bid and asked prices or prices provided by pricing service providers who use a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models, to determine the value of the contracts. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility and exchange rates. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Swap contracts (other than centrally cleared swaps) are marked-to-market daily based on quotations and prices supplied by market makers, broker-dealers and other pricing services. Such quotations and prices are derived utilizing observable data, including the underlying reference securities or indices, credit spread quotations and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange or a pricing service when the exchange price is not available. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearing facility requires its members to provide actionable price levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third-party prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. These securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates, including the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to produce the daily settlement price. These securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income
BHFTII-42
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, paydown gain/loss reclasses, broker commission recapture, amortization and accretion of debt securities, real estate investment trust (“REIT”) adjustments, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and swap contract transactions. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls - The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sells to-be-announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. For the duration of the transaction, or roll period, the Portfolio foregoes principal (including prepayments of principal) and interest paid on the securities sold. Dollar rolls are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions; gain or loss is recognized at the commencement of the term of the dollar roll and each time the mortgage-backed security is rolled.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Portfolio is required to repurchase or reacquire may be less than the agreed-upon repurchase price of those securities and that the investment performance of securities purchased with proceeds from these transactions does not exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss that would have been realized on the securities transferred or sold, as applicable, as part of the treasury or mortgage dollar roll.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities - The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities may include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBS”), and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by or payable from, mortgage loans on real property or other receivables. The value of some mortgage- or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
In one type of SMBS, one class receives all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security until maturity. These adjustments are netted against payments received for the IOs and the net amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. Details of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities held by the Portfolio are included in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.
BHFTII-43
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
The Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be negatively impacted by increased volatility of market prices and periods of illiquidity.
TBA Purchase & Forward Sale Commitments - The Portfolio may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to the settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Portfolio’s other assets. TBA forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements”.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Securities - The Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase commitment is made. The Portfolio may purchase securities under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Portfolio may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.
Upon making a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will hold liquid assets in a segregated account with the Portfolio’s custodian, or set aside liquid assets in the Portfolio’s records, worth at least the equivalent of the amount due. The liquid assets will be monitored on a daily basis and adjusted as necessary to maintain the necessary value.
High-Yield Debt Securities - The Portfolio may invest in high-yield debt securities, or “junk bonds,” which are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or, if not rated, are of equivalent quality. A portfolio with high-yield debt securities generally will be exposed to greater market risk and credit risk than a portfolio that invests only in investment grade debt securities because issuers of high-yield debt securities are generally less secure financially, are more likely to default on their obligations, and their securities are more sensitive to interest rate changes and downturns in the economy. In addition, the secondary market for lower-rated debt securities may not be as liquid as that for more highly rated debt securities. As a result, the Portfolio’s Subadviser may find it more difficult to value lower-rated debt securities or sell them and may have to sell them at prices significantly lower than the values assigned to them by the Portfolio.
Floating Rate Loans - The Portfolio may invest in loans arranged through private negotiation between one or more financial institutions. The Portfolio’s investment in any such loan may be in the form of a participation in or an assignment of the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Portfolio generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower. The Portfolio may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation or assignment. The purchase of assignments will typically result in the Portfolio having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Portfolio may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
The Portfolio may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When the Portfolio purchases assignments, it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. These loans may include participations in bridge loans, which are loans taken out by borrowers for a short period (typically less than one year) pending arrangement of more permanent financing.
The Portfolio will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Portfolio may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.
Unfunded Loan Commitments - The Portfolio may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Portfolio is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments, if any, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio did not have any unfunded loan commitments.
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the
BHFTII-44
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $7,142,478. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $9,382,725. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified institutions. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Portfolio transfers securities in exchange for cash to a financial institution or counterparty, concurrently with an agreement by the Portfolio to re-acquire the same securities at an agreed-upon price and date. During the reverse repurchase agreement period, the Portfolio continues to receive principal and interest payments on these securities. The Portfolio will establish a segregated account with its custodian in which it will maintain liquid assets equal in value to its obligations in respect of reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities transferred by the Portfolio may decline below the agreed-upon reacquisition price of the securities. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any reverse repurchase transaction, the MRA entitles the non-defaulting party with a right to set-off claims and apply property held by it in respect of any reverse repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it. Cash received in exchange for securities transferred under reverse repurchase agreements plus accrued interest payments to be made by the Portfolio to counterparties are reflected as reverse repurchase agreements on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolio did not have any reverse repurchase agreements during the period ending June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.

Secured Borrowing Transactions - The Portfolio may enter into transactions consisting of a transfer of a security by the Portfolio to a financial institution or counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to reacquire the same, or substantially the same security, at an agreed-upon price and future settlement date. Such transactions are treated as secured borrowings, and not as purchases and sales. The Portfolio receives cash from the transfer of the security to use for other investment purposes. During the term of the borrowing, the Portfolio is not entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security transferred to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. The difference between the transfer price and the reacquisition price, known as the “price drop,” is included in net investment income with the cost of the secured borrowing transaction being recorded as interest expense over the term of the borrowing. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no secured borrowing transactions and at June 30, 2017 the Portfolio had no outstanding borrowings.
3. Investments in Derivative Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts - The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to obtain investment exposure, enhance return or hedge or protect its portfolio holdings against the risk of future movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates. When entering into these contracts, the Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon future date. These contracts are valued daily and the Portfolio’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward foreign exchange rates at the valuation date, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed, the Portfolio recognizes 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 and unrealized gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. These contracts involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities of the Portfolio, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the currency holdings, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to losses if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts. The Portfolio may also experience losses even when such contracts are used for hedging purposes. The Portfolio’s maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened.
Futures Contracts - The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts as a hedge, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Portfolio may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Portfolio must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities, which is returned when the Portfolio’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Portfolio depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expires, the 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that the market for these instruments may be illiquid and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts are exchange-traded, the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. For OTC futures, the
BHFTII-46
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Portfolio’s ability to terminate the positions may be more limited than in the case of exchange-traded positions and may also involve the risk that securities dealers participating in such transactions would fail to meet their obligations to the Portfolio.
Options Contracts - An option contract purchased by the Portfolio gives the Portfolio the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying instrument at a fixed exercise price during a specified period. Call options written by the Portfolio give the holder the right to buy the underlying instrument from the Portfolio at a fixed exercise price; put options written by the Portfolio give the holder the right to sell the underlying instrument to the Portfolio at a fixed exercise price.
The Portfolio may use options to hedge against changes in values of securities the Portfolio owns or expects to purchase, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. Writing puts or buying calls tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument and writing calls or buying puts tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument, and can be used to hedge other Portfolio investments. For options used to hedge the Portfolio’s investments, the potential risk to the Portfolio is that the change in value of options contracts may not correspond perfectly to the change in value of the hedged instruments. The Portfolio also bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of purchased options is typically the premium initially paid for the option plus any unrealized gains.
The main risk associated with purchasing an option is that the option expires without being exercised. In this case, the option is worthless when it expires and the premium paid for the option is considered a realized loss. The risk associated with writing a call option is that the Portfolio may forgo the opportunity for a profit if the market value of the underlying instrument increases and the option is exercised, requiring the Portfolio to sell the underlying instrument at a price below its market value. When the Portfolio writes a call option on a security it does not own, its exposure on such an option is theoretically unlimited. The risk in writing a put option is that the Portfolio may incur a loss if the market value of the underlying instrument decreases and the option is exercised, requiring the Portfolio to purchase the underlying instrument at a price above its market value. In addition, the Portfolio risks not being able to enter into a closing transaction for the written option as the result of an illiquid market for the option.
Purchases of put and call options are recorded as investments, the value of which are marked-to-market daily. When the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium initially paid for the option. When the Portfolio exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying instrument and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid for the put option. When the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid for the call option.
The premium received by the Portfolio for a written option is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. When a written option expires without being exercised or the Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Portfolio realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying instrument and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss, as adjusted for the premium received, from the sale of the underlying instrument. When a written put option is exercised, the premium received by the Portfolio is offset against the amount paid for the purchase of the underlying instrument.
The purpose of inflation-capped options is to protect the buyer from inflation, above a specified rate, eroding the value of investments in inflation-linked products with a given notional exposure. Inflation-capped options are used to give downside protection to investments in inflation-linked products by establishing a floor on the value of such products.
Swaptions are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swaptions is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option.
Swap Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements in which the Portfolio and a counterparty agree to either make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are either privately negotiated in the OTC market (“OTC swaps”) or executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements for the purposes of managing exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk, or for other purposes. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be paid or received, as applicable, by the Portfolio as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Securities posted by the Portfolio as collateral for swap contracts are identified in the Schedule of Investments and restricted cash, if any, is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Centrally Cleared Swaps: Clearinghouses currently offer clearing derivative transactions which include interest rate and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Portfolio typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution
BHFTII-47
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Portfolio’s exposure to the credit risk of the original counterparty. The Portfolio typically will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Portfolio would be required to post in an uncleared derivative transaction.
Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily. The fair value of an OTC swap is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The changes in value, if any, are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (such as credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Upon termination or maturity of the swap, upfront premiums are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations.
Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit, and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, or that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions or interest rates. In addition, entering into swap agreements involves documentation risk resulting from the possibility that the parties to a swap agreement may disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreement. The Portfolio may enter into swap transactions with counterparties in accordance with guidelines established by the Board. These guidelines provide for a minimum credit rating for each counterparty and various credit enhancement techniques (for example, collateralization of amounts due from counterparties) to limit exposure to counterparties that have lower credit ratings. A Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted value of the net cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive, or the fair value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to centrally-cleared swaps is mitigated due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Credit Default Swaps: The Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. Credit default swaps involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (referred to as the the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs for the referenced entity, obligation or index. A credit event is defined under the terms of each swap agreement and may include, but is not limited to, underlying entity default, bankruptcy, write-down, principal shortfall or interest shortfall. As the seller of protection, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Portfolio will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index), or pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index). In return, the Portfolio would receive from the counterparty an upfront or periodic stream of payments throughout the life of the credit default swap agreement provided that no credit event has occurred. As the seller of protection, the Portfolio will effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the credit default swap.
The Portfolio may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities held in its portfolio. This would involve the risk that the investment may be worthless when it expires and would only generate income in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial instability). It would also involve credit risk, whereby the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Portfolio in the event of a default. As the buyer of protection, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Portfolio will either receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index), or receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index). If no credit event occurs and the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, the Portfolio will typically recover nothing under the credit default swap agreement, but it will have had to pay the required upfront payment or stream of continuing payments under the credit default swap agreement. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted obligation.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the
BHFTII-48

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a credit event involving an entity in the index, the credit event is settled based on that entity’s weight in the index. A Portfolio may use credit default swaps on credit indices as a hedge for credit default swaps or bonds held in the portfolio, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many individual credit default swaps to achieve similar effect. Credit default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and may be used to speculate on changes in credit quality.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on a credit index or corporate or sovereign issuer, serve as some indication of the status of the payment/performance risk and the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity or index also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may reflect upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads generally represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the particular swap agreement. When no implied credit spread is available for a credit default swap, the current unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the position may be used as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Portfolio as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2017, for which the Portfolio is the seller of protection, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities.
Interest Rate Swaps: The Portfolio may enter into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rates or to protect against currency fluctuations, to adjust its interest rate sensitivity (duration), to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment, or otherwise as a substitute for a direct investment in debt securities. The Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Portfolio holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, the Portfolio may enter into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating rate, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Other forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (1) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; (2) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”; and (3) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of interest rate swaps is typically the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive.
Spreadlock Swap Contracts - The Portfolio may invest in spreadlock swap contracts. These contracts involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the spread difference between two interest rate curves and a fixed spread at a specific forward date determined at the beginning of the contract. Settlement amounts paid or received are recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations at the determination date.

4. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.

Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Collateral requirements may differ by type of derivative or investment, as applicable. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange-traded derivatives (e.g., futures contracts and exchange-traded options), while collateral terms are contract specific for OTC traded derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swap agreements and OTC options).
For derivatives traded under an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar master agreement, the collateral requirements are netted across all transactions traded under such agreement and one amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. The ISDA Master Agreement gives the Portfolio the right, upon an event of default by the applicable counterparty or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the Portfolio’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Portfolio under the applicable transactions, if any. However, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. The enforceability of the right to offset may vary by jurisdiction. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolio under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTA”) govern the considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain forward settling transactions, such as TBA securities and delayed-delivery or secured borrowings transactions by and between the Portfolio and select counterparties. The MSFTA maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency, which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to Portfolio assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the Portfolio. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
Foreign Investment Risk: The investments by the Portfolio in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Because securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies and may pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Portfolio. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolio to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

6. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$2,894,644 | | | 0.500 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.450 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.400 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Wellington Management Company LLP (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, the Adviser has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | | | |
% per annum reduction | | Average Daily Net Assets | |
0.020% | | On the first $ | 500 million | |
Any reductions in total advisory fees paid by the Portfolio due to these waivers may be reduced or eliminated by changes in the advisory fee structure at higher asset levels. Brighthouse Investment Advisers will receive advisory fees equal to 0.480% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets for amounts over $500 million but less than $750 million (0.030% over the contractual advisory fee rate) and 0.460% for amounts over $750 million but less than $1 billion (0.010% over the contractual advisory fee rate). As a result, the dollar amount of the waiver will be reduced as assets grow beyond $500 million up to $1 billion, but the advisory fee net of waivers will never exceed the contractual dollar amount that would otherwise be payable under the advisory fee. An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
The Subadviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its subadvisory fees payable by the Adviser to the Subadviser for managing the Portfolio. In addition to the above advisory fee agreement, the Adviser has agreed to reduce its advisory fee reflecting a portion of the amount waived by the Subadviser for managing the Portfolio pursuant to the voluntary subadvisory fee waiver. $197,462 was waived in the aggregate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and is reflected in the total amount shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of the Adviser; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$33,838,553 | | $ | 68,197,869 | | | $ | 57,379,727 | | | $ | 179,918,284 | | | $ | 91,218,280 | | | $ | 248,116,153 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$30,599,124 | | $ | 24,234,514 | | | $ | 75,456,409 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 130,290,047 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to
BHFTII-54
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio and the Board of Trustees of Brighthouse Funds Trust II:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting Brighthouse Funds Trust II) (the “Portfolio”) as of June 30, 2017, and the related statement of operations for the six months then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the six months then ended and the year ended December 31, 2016, and the financial highlights for the six months then ended and each of the five years in the period then ended December 31, 2016. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio of Brighthouse Funds Trust II, as of June 30, 2017, the results of its operations for the six months then ended, the changes in its net assets for the six months then ended and the year ended December 31, 2016, and the financial highlights for the six months then ended and each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Class A, B and E shares of the Brighthouse/Wellington Core Equity Opportunities Portfolio returned 9.81%, 9.72%, and 9.78%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index1, returned 9.27%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
U.S. equities rose during the first half of 2017 despite plunging oil prices, heightened political risk, and two Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) rate hikes. The first quarter of 2017 was marked by continued optimism in Trump policy expectations and generally encouraging economic data. Steady labor-market gains, along with rising stock prices and optimism about faster economic growth, helped consumer confidence jump to its highest level in 16 years. Despite investor concern over stretched valuations and overly optimistic policy expectations, the market hit a series of record highs early in the first half of the year.
Stocks ended June with a 9.3% year-to-date gain, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Although U.S. economic data released during second quarter of 2017 was mixed and geopolitical risks remained part of the overall narrative, U.S. and global equities continued to climb. Emmanuel Macron’s victory in the French presidential election was widely seen as supportive for the stability of the European Union. Furthermore, continued solid global economic data, strong year-over-year corporate earnings growth, and the Fed’s initial plan for balance sheet normalization later this year, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated, helped stoke investors’ bullish sentiment. Some unfavorable developments during the second quarter included disappointing manufacturing data, weak auto sales, and lackluster housing reports.
Mid- and large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P Midcap 400, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 indices, respectively. All three groups posted strong positive returns during the six-month period.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, for the six month period ended June 30, 2017. Strong stock selection in the Financials, Industrials, Materials, Real Estate, and Consumer Staples sectors more than offset weaker security selection in Information Technology, Energy, and Consumer Discretionary. Sector positioning, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, also contributed, driven largely by the Portfolio’s overweight allocation to the Health Care sector and underweight allocations to the Telecommunication Services and Energy sectors.
The Portfolio’s positions in Medtronic, Canadian National Railway, and McDonald’s were among the top relative contributors during the period. Not holding benchmark constituents General Electric, Verizon Communications, and AT&T also aided relative results. Shares of Medtronic, a medical technology company focused on medical devices, outperformed during the period. The company’s earnings rebounded after a disappointing final quarter of 2016, back to a resumption of their mid-single-digit growth seen in prior quarters. The rebound was driven by demand for its heart, vascular, and minimally invasive products. We continue to believe the company can improve margins and continue to generate strong cash flow growth with good operating leverage and synergies. Medtronic’s management team remains committed to returning cash to shareholders and growing the dividend. We believe that the company remains well positioned to benefit from the long-term tailwind of an aging population.
The Portfolio’s exposure to Schlumberger, TJX Companies, and Public Storage detracted from relative performance, as did our decision not to hold benchmark constituent Apple. Shares of TJX Companies, an off-price apparel and home goods retailer, underperformed after the company posted decent earnings but management issued second quarter guidance below consensus estimates. Investors were also discouraged by lackluster revenue growth. We believe TJX should continue to drive attractive same-store sales growth as it captures new customers with strong inventory management and

excellent execution. Their competitive advantage is how they buy clothing; they buy overages and acquire inventory at great price points. In addition, TJX is less exposed to disaggregating by internet competitors due to the “treasure hunt” aspect of going to their stores. We view the company as a high quality, cash generative, dominant value creator and distributor.
As of the end of the period, the Portfolio was most overweight the Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Health Care sectors, and most underweight the Information Technology, Utilities, and Financials sectors.

Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Core Equity Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Brighthouse/Wellington Core Equity Opportunities Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, merger transactions, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances, distribution re-designations, real estate investment in trust (“REIT”) adjustments and broker commission recapture. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its
BHFTII-14
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Core Equity Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $86,417,152. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $10,498,811. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
BHFTII-15
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Core Equity Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 144,172,650 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 394,815,622 | |
The Portfolio engaged in security transactions with other accounts managed by Wellington Management Company LLP, the subadviser to the Portfolio, that amounted to $9,747,187 in sales of investments, which are included above, and resulted in realized gains of $1,105,713.
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$14,202,475 | | | 0.750 | % | | Of the first $1 billion |
| | | 0.700 | % | | On the next $2 billion |
| | | 0.650 | % | | On amounts in excess of $3 billion |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Wellington Management Company LLP (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.120% | | First $500 million |
0.145% | | $500 million to $1 billion |
0.120% | | $1 billion to $3 billion |
0.080% | | $3 billion to $4.5 billion |
0.105% | | Over $4.5 billion |
An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $2,282,987 and are included in the total amount shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
The Subadviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its subadvisory fees payable by the Adviser to the Subadviser for managing the Portfolio. In addition to the above advisory fee waiver, the Adviser has agreed to reduce its advisory fee reflecting a portion of the amount waived by the Subadviser for managing the Portfolio pursuant to the voluntary subadvisory fee waiver. $669,476 was waived in the aggregate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and is reflected in the total amount shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

7. Income Tax Information
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$70,580,396 | | $ | 141,263,345 | | | $ | 169,222,024 | | | $ | 1,235,335,211 | | | $ | 239,802,420 | | | $ | 1,376,598,556 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$61,695,417 | | $ | 151,767,807 | | | $ | 408,576,164 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 622,039,388 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
8. Acquisition
At the close of business on April 29, 2016, the Portfolio, with aggregate Class A, Class B and Class E net assets of $2,079,742,205, $598,612,281 and $818,724,006, respectively, acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Pioneer Fund Portfolio of the Met Investors Series Trust (“Pioneer Fund”).
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 11,681,896 Class A shares of the Portfolio (valued at $342,746,988) for 37,657,033 Class A shares of Pioneer Fund and 2,998,245 Class B shares of the Portfolio (valued at $86,919,323) for 9,737,087 Class B shares of Pioneer Fund. Each shareholder of Pioneer Fund received shares of the Portfolio with the same class designation and at the respective Class NAV, as determined at the close of business on April 29, 2016. The transaction was part of a restructuring designed to eliminate the offering of overlapping Portfolios in the MetLife, Inc. families of funds with similar investment objectives and similar investment strategies that serve as funding vehicles for insurance contracts that are offered by affiliates of MetLife. Some of the investments held by Pioneer Fund may have been purchased or sold prior to the acquisition for the purpose of complying with the anticipated investment policies or limitations of the Portfolio after the acquisition. If such purchases or sales occurred, the transaction costs were borne by Pioneer Fund. All other costs associated with the merger were not borne by the shareholders of either portfolio.
Pioneer Fund’s net assets on April 29, 2016, were $342,746,988 and $86,919,323 for Class A and Class B shares, respectively, including investments valued at $429,706,208 with a cost basis of $417,385,987. For financial reporting purposes, assets received, liabilities assumed and shares issued by the Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received by the Portfolio from Pioneer Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Portfolio’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the Portfolio immediately after the acquisition were $3,926,744,803, which included $12,320,388 of acquired unrealized appreciation on investments and foreign currency transactions.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2016, the Portfolio’s pro-forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 are as follows:
| | | | |
Net Investment income | | $ | 63,902,224 | (a) |
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments | | $ | 200,724,550 | (b) |
| | | | |
Net increase in net assets from operations | | $ | 264,626,774 | |
| | | | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Pioneer Fund that have been included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Operations since April 29, 2016.
| | | | |
(a) | | $62,169,328 net investment income as reported at December 31, 2016, plus $1,584,300 from Pioneer Fund pre-merger net investment income, plus $130,479 in lower net advisory fees, plus $18,117 of pro-forma eliminated other expenses. |
(b) | | $425,632,627 unrealized appreciation as reported at December 31, 2016, minus $454,921,890 pro-forma December 31, 2015 unrealized appreciation, plus $143,274,319 net realized gain as reported at December 31, 2016, plus $86,739,494 in net realized gain from Pioneer Fund pre-merger. |

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

The first half of the year was marked by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raising rates twice, both times in 0.25% increments, from 0.75% to 1.25%. In addition, the Fed has suggested another rate hike in 2017 as well as the beginning of ”a balance sheet normalization”, with reference to the Fed’s plan to start reducing its enormous balance sheet of approximately $4.5 trillion worth of primarily U.S. government bonds and mortgage securities. The Fed’s move comes on the back of continued slow but steady growth in the U.S., currently at the tune of 2% annually. However, despite the muted growth, the current eight-year-long economic expansion has driven the unemployment rate down to 4.3% as of this writing. This is a level not witnessed since 2000, and before that, one would have to go all the way back to 1969 to see a level that low. This level is noticeably below the long-run “normal” level of unemployment, typically defined by the Fed as being between 4.5 to 5.0%. As such, unemployment should not be expected to go much lower, despite the tailwind from more than 6 million current job openings, which would lower the unemployment rate by another approximately 4% if they were all filled. If the job market continues to tighten, however, it would not be a surprise to see stronger growth in wages, which in turn would help push core inflation above the current level of 1.9%, and above the Fed’s stated target of 2%.
Another factor pushing core inflation upward is housing expenses. After a game-changing collapse in housing leading up to the Financial Crisis, surviving homebuilders are still only cautiously embarking on new projects, despite an existing inventory of housing of only slightly more than four months. This, in turn, has led to an increase in the cost of renting and owning, a trend that could continue if interest rates continue to rise.
In addition to relatively healthy economic data, financial markets have been busy interpreting the impact of the potential shift in the regulatory environment and in fiscal policies that followed the November election. The result was a very healthy gain for stocks during the first two months of the year, as financial markets seemed to price in a complete and swift implementation of everything promised before and after the election. However, as investors got into March, expectations were lowered, epitomized by the Republican withdrawal of the healthcare bill. This led to sideways movement of U.S. stock prices until the second half of May, where another push higher led the U.S. stock market, as defined by the S&P 500 Index, to a very strong mid-year return of 9.34%. The robust returns were led by Information Technology and Healthcare, which returned 16.62% and 16.47%, respectively. At the other end of the scale was Energy and Telecommunication Services, which fell 13.82% and 10.77%, in that order. Large cap stocks outperformed both mid cap stocks and small cap stocks, which returned 7.99% and 4.99%, respectively, as measured by the Russell Mid Cap Index and the Russell 2000 Index.
Despite the strong performance of U.S. equity markets, non-U.S. equities fared even better. Foreign developed equity, as defined by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 13.81% during the first six months of the year, driven by relatively cheap valuations and a European economy that seems to be in recovery mode. Emerging Market (“EM”) equity was the best performing major asset class, returning 18.43% as defined by the MSCI EM Index. The strong returns were primarily driven by Asian economies, led by Korea, China and Taiwan, which returned 28.78%, 24.86% and 21.58%, respectively, according to their MSCI country-specific indices. European emerging markets were the laggard, primarily because of a negative return of 14.18% coming out of Russia, as defined by the MSCI Russia Index.
In the fixed income world, there was a slight curve-flattening during the first half of the year. The 1-year U.S. Treasury rate rose from 0.80% to 1.23%, but longer-term rates were, surprisingly, down slightly for the first six months of the year. The 5-year rates moved from 1.94% to 1.89%, the 10-year rate moved from 2.44% to 2.30%, and the 30-year rate moved from 3.05% to 2.83%, as the market responded to lower than expected inflation, and diminished hope that the economy can break out of the current 2% growth environment any time soon. However, the confirmation of steady economic growth, fueled strong returns for corporate bonds, and more so in in the low-quality end of the spectrum. As such, the lowest quality corporate bonds returned 6.59% during first half of the year, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Caa Index. Much of the strong return came out of the energy sector during the first quarter of the year, as surviving energy related companies have had a chance to adjust their businesses to low energy prices.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Brighthouse Asset Allocation 20 Portfolio invested in underlying portfolios of the Brighthouse Funds Trust I and the Brighthouse Funds Trust II to maintain a broad asset allocation of approximately 20% to equities and 80% to fixed income.
In the first half of 2017, the portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Dow Jones Conservative Index. While the contribution from the underlying fixed income, U.S. mid cap, and U.S. small cap portfolios was a drag on relative performance, the strong relative performance within the underlying U.S. large cap and foreign developed equity portfolios in combination with favorable overweights to U.S. investment grade bonds and U.S. large cap equities, was enough to outperform the benchmark.
Performance from the underlying fixed income portfolios was mixed during the first half of the year, but the overall contribution was a drag on relative performance. The main culprit for the

underperformance was the Brighthouse/Templeton International Bond Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 4.47% over the period. The main detractors from relative performance was the portfolio’s underweighted positions in the euro, the Japanese yen, and the Australian dollar, as well as underweighted duration exposure in the U.S. At the other end of the scale was the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 3.08%. The main contributor to performance was the portfolio’s allocation to investment grade credit, non-agency securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, in addition to favorable allocations to EM. Another strong performer was the PIMCO Total Return Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 0.87%. An overweight to U.S. duration, positions in agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, and overweight the euro, yen, and pound currencies, were all positive contributors to performance.
Performance from the underlying equity portfolios during the first half of the year was mixed as well, but the overall contribution to relative performance was positive. Within large cap equity, the T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio did particularly well, outperforming its benchmark by 5.60% during the first half of the year. The strong performance was driven by an overweight to Financial Services, and strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare, and Technology. Another strong performer was the Jennison Growth Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 4.75% for the period. The main reason for the strong performance was an overweight to Technology, underweights to Real Estate and Consumer Staples, and strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Industrials. At the other end of the scale was the BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 5.44% during the first half of the year. The significant underperformance was primarily a result of poor security selection within Energy, Consumer Staples, Technology, and Financial Services, in addition to an unfavorable overweight to Energy. Within mid cap equity, the T. Rowe Price Mid Cap Growth Portfolio stood out, as it outperformed its benchmark by 3.45% for the period. The main drivers of outperformance were strong security selection within Industrials, Financial Services, and Consumer Discretionary, as well as favorable underweights to Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples. The Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio was the strongest performer within the small cap equity asset class, as it outperformed its benchmark by 4.53% during the first half of the year. In addition to a favorable growth tilt vs. its value benchmark, the contribution from security selection within Technology, Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Energy helped relative performance. Furthermore, overweights to Healthcare and Technology and an underweight to Energy, also boosted relative return.
The contribution from the non-U.S. equity portfolios was overall negative, despite strong performance from several individual portfolios. The main reason for the overall detraction from relative performance, was the Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 4.97% during the first six months of the year. The main reasons for the underperformance were overweight positions and underperformance in the oil & gas exploration & production and oil & gas drilling sub-industries, and poor performance of securities within the Diversified Metals & Mining sector. At the other end of the scale was the Oppenheimer Global Equity Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 8.70%. The main driver of outperformance was strong security selection within Financial Services, Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Technology, in addition to underweights to Energy and Real Estate. Another strong performer was the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 5.96% during the first half of the year. The strong results were primarily driven by an overweight to Technology and an underweight to Energy, in addition to strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Industrials.

1 The Dow Jones Conservative Index is a total return index designed to provide asset allocation strategists with a target risk benchmark. Each month, the Index adjusts its weighting of stocks, bonds, and cash indices (both domestic and foreign) such that the risk combination will have 20% of the risk of an all equity portfolio.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects an expense limitation agreement between Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC and the Portfolio as described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
(b) The annualized expense ratio reflects the expenses of both the Portfolio and the Underlying Portfolios in which it invests.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 20 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Brighthouse Asset Allocation 20 Portfolio (the “Asset Allocation Portfolio”), which is diversified. The Asset Allocation Portfolio operates under a “fund of funds” structure, investing substantially all of its assets in other Portfolios advised by Brighthouse Investment Advisers (each, an “Underlying Portfolio,” and, collectively, the “Underlying Portfolios”). Shares in the Asset Allocation Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio has registered and offers two classes of shares: Class A and B shares. Shares of each Class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Asset Allocation Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Asset Allocation Portfolio, and certain Asset Allocation Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Asset Allocation Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Asset Allocation Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are valued at their closing daily net asset value (“NAV”) on the valuation date. Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. For information about the use of fair value pricing by the Underlying Portfolios, please refer to the prospectuses of the Underlying Portfolios.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Asset Allocation Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Capital gains distributions received from the Underlying Portfolios are recorded as net realized gain in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Asset Allocation Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to distribution re-designations and distributions from Underlying Portfolios. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Asset Allocation Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Underlying Portfolios invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Underlying Portfolios may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Underlying Portfolios; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Underlying Portfolios may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Underlying Portfolios have unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Underlying Portfolios to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Underlying Portfolios manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Underlying Portfolios’ investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of their trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of their net exposure to each individual counterparty based on the adviser’s assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Underlying Portfolios restrict their exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom the Underlying Portfolios undertake a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Asset Allocation Portfolio and in the Underlying Portfolios in which it invests.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of shares of the Underlying Portfolios by the Asset Allocation Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 56,134,247 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 86,119,163 | |
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Asset Allocation Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Asset Allocation Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Asset Allocation Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$304,768 | | | 0.100 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.075 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.050 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
In addition to the above management fee paid to Brighthouse Investment Advisers, the Asset Allocation Portfolio indirectly pays Brighthouse Investment Advisers an investment advisory fee through its investments in the Underlying Portfolios.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Expense Limitation Agreement - Pursuant to an expense agreement relating to each class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has contractually agreed, from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to waive a portion of its advisory fees or
BHFTII-11
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 20 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
pay a portion of the other operating expenses (not including acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage costs, interest, taxes, or extraordinary expenses) to the extent total operating expenses exceed stated annual expense limits (based on the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s then-current fiscal year). For the Asset Allocation Portfolio, this subsidy, and identical subsidies in effect in earlier periods, are subject to the obligation of each class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio to repay Brighthouse Investment Advisers in future years, if any, when a class’ expenses fall below the stated expense limit pertaining to that class that was in effect at the time of the subsidy in question. Such deferred expenses may be charged to a class in a subsequent year to the extent that the charge does not cause the total expenses in such subsequent year to exceed the class’ stated expense limit that was in effect at the time of the subsidy in question; provided, however, that no class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio is obligated to repay any expense paid by Brighthouse Investment Advisers more than five years after the end of the fiscal year in which such expense was incurred. The expense limits (annual rates as a percentage of each class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s net average daily net assets) in effect from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 are 0.10% and 0.35% for Class A and B, respectively.
As of June 30, 2017, the amount of expenses deferred in 2012 subject to repayment until December 31, 2017 was $74,663. The amount of expenses deferred in 2013 subject to repayment until December 31, 2018 was $61,885. The amount of expenses deferred in 2014 subject to repayment until December 31, 2019 was $111,213. The amount of expenses deferred in 2015 subject to repayment until December 31, 2020 was $99,092. The amount of expenses deferred in 2016 subject to repayment until December 31, 2021 was $120,106. The amount of expenses deferred in 2017 subject to repayment until December 31, 2022 was $69,455.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s Class A and B Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s Class B shares. Under the Distribution and Services Plan, the Class B shares of the Asset Allocation Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Asset Allocation Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B shares of the Asset Allocation Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Services Plan for each class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B shares. Amount incurred by the Asset Allocation Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 is shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$22,479,670 | | $ | 14,585,605 | | | $ | 23,047,561 | | | $ | 21,269,398 | | | $ | 45,527,231 | | | $ | 35,855,003 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$13,229,453 | | $ | 10,153,647 | | | $ | (20,982,609 | ) | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,400,491 | |
The Asset Allocation Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, the Class A and B shares of the Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio returned 5.63% and 5.49%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Dow Jones Moderately Conservative Index1, returned 5.51%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The first half of the year was marked by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raising rates twice, both times in 0.25% increments, from 0.75% to 1.25%. In addition, the Fed has suggested another rate hike in 2017 as well as the beginning of ”a balance sheet normalization”, with reference to the Fed’s plan to start reducing its enormous balance sheet of approximately $4.5 trillion worth of primarily U.S. government bonds and mortgage securities. The Fed’s move comes on the back of continued slow but steady growth in the U.S., currently at the tune of 2% annually. However, despite the muted growth, the current eight-year-long economic expansion has driven the unemployment rate down to 4.3% as of this writing. This is a level not witnessed since 2000, and before that, one would have to go all the way back to 1969 to see a level that low. This level is noticeably below the long-run “normal” level of unemployment, typically defined by the Fed as being between 4.5 to 5.0%. As such, unemployment should not be expected to go much lower, despite the tailwind from more than 6 million current job openings, which would lower the unemployment rate by another approximately 4% if they were all filled. If the job market continues to tighten, however, it would not be a surprise to see stronger growth in wages, which in turn would help push core inflation above the current level of 1.9%, and above the Fed’s stated target of 2%.
Another factor pushing core inflation upward is housing expenses. After a game-changing collapse in housing leading up to the Financial Crisis, surviving homebuilders are still only cautiously embarking on new projects, despite an existing inventory of housing of only slightly more than four months. This, in turn, has led to an increase in the cost of renting and owning, a trend that could continue if interest rates continue to rise.
In addition to relatively healthy economic data, financial markets have been busy interpreting the impact of the potential shift in the regulatory environment and in fiscal policies that followed the November election. The result was a very healthy gain for stocks during the first two months of the year, as financial markets seemed to price in a complete and swift implementation of everything promised before and after the election. However, as investors got into March, expectations were lowered, epitomized by the Republican withdrawal of the healthcare bill. This led to sideways movement of U.S. stock prices until the second half of May, where another push higher led the U.S. stock market, as defined by the S&P 500 Index, to a very strong mid-year return of 9.34%. The robust returns were led by Information Technology and Healthcare, which returned 16.62% and 16.47%, respectively. At the other end of the scale was Energy and Telecommunication Services, which fell 13.82% and 10.77%, in that order. Large cap stocks outperformed both mid cap stocks and small cap stocks, which returned 7.99% and 4.99%, respectively, as measured by the Russell Mid Cap Index and the Russell 2000 Index.
Despite the strong performance of U.S. equity markets, non-U.S. equities fared even better. Foreign developed equity, as defined by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 13.81% during the first six months of the year, driven by relatively cheap valuations and a European economy that seems to be in recovery mode. Emerging Market (“EM”) equity was the best performing major asset class, returning 18.43% as defined by the MSCI EM Index. The strong returns were primarily driven by Asian economies, led by Korea, China and Taiwan, which returned 28.78%, 24.86% and 21.58%, respectively, according to their MSCI country-specific indices. European emerging markets were the laggard, primarily because of a negative return of 14.18% coming out of Russia, as defined by the MSCI Russia Index.
In the fixed income world, there was a slight curve-flattening during the first half of the year. The 1-year U.S. Treasury rate rose from 0.80% to 1.23%, but longer-term rates were, surprisingly, down slightly for the first six months of the year. The 5-year rates moved from 1.94% to 1.89%, the 10-year rate moved from 2.44% to 2.30%, and the 30-year rate moved from 3.05% to 2.83%, as the market responded to lower than expected inflation, and diminished hope that the economy can break out of the current 2% growth environment any time soon. However, the confirmation of steady economic growth, fueled strong returns for corporate bonds, and more so in in the low-quality end of the spectrum. As such, the lowest quality corporate bonds returned 6.59% during first half of the year, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Caa Index. Much of the strong return came out of the energy sector during the first quarter of the year, as surviving energy related companies have had a chance to adjust their businesses to low energy prices.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio invested in underlying portfolios of the Brighthouse Funds Trust I and the Brighthouse Funds Trust II to maintain a broad asset allocation of approximately 40% to equities and 60% to fixed income.
Over the six month period, the Portfolio performed in line with the Dow Jones Moderately Conservative Index. The poor relative performance by the underlying fixed income portfolios, was outweighed by strong relative performance by most the underlying portfolios utilized within the various equity asset classes, and a favorable overweight to U.S. large cap equities.
Performance from the underlying fixed income portfolios during the first half of the year was mixed, but the overall contribution was a drag on relative performance. The main culprit for the underperformance was the Brighthouse/Templeton International Bond Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 4.47% over the

period. The main detractors from relative performance was the portfolio’s underweighted positions in the euro, the Japanese yen, and the Australian dollar. Underweighted duration exposure in the U.S. was a drag on relative performance as well. At the other end of the scale was the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 3.08%. The main contributor to performance was the portfolio’s allocation to investment grade credit, non-agency securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, in addition to favorable allocations to emerging markets. Another strong performer was the PIMCO Total Return Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 0.87%. An overweight to U.S. duration, positions in agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, and overweight the euro, yen, and pound currencies, were all positive contributors to performance.
Performance from the individual underlying domestic equity portfolios was mixed, but the overall contribution to relative performance was positive. Within large cap equity, the T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio did particularly well, outperforming its benchmark by 5.60% during the first half of the year. The strong performance was driven by an overweight to Financial Services, and strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare, and Technology. Another strong performer was the Jennison Growth Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 4.75% for the period. The main reason for the strong performance was an overweight to Technology, underweights to Real Estate and Consumer Staples, and strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Industrials. At the other end of the scale was the BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 5.44% during the first half of the year. The significant underperformance was primarily a result of poor security selection within Energy, Consumer Staples, Technology, and Financial Services, in addition to an unfavorable overweight to Energy. Within mid cap equity, the T. Rowe Price Mid Cap Growth Portfolio stood out, as it outperformed its benchmark by 3.45% for the period. The main drivers of outperformance were strong security selection within Industrials, Financial Services, and Consumer Discretionary, as well as favorable underweights to Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples. The Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio was the strongest performer within the small cap equity asset class, as it outperformed its benchmark by 4.53% during the first half of the year. In addition to a favorable growth tilt vs. its value benchmark, the contribution from security selection within Technology, Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Energy helped relative performance. Furthermore, overweights to Healthcare and Technology and an underweight to Energy, also boosted relative return.
The contribution from the non-U.S. equity portfolios was overall negative, despite strong performance from several individual portfolios. The main reason for the overall detraction from relative performance, was the Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 4.97% during the first six months of the year. The main reasons for the underperformance were overweight positions and underperformance in the oil & gas exploration & production and oil & gas drilling sub-industries, and poor performance of securities within the Diversified Metals & Mining sector. At the other end of the scale was the Oppenheimer Global Equity Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 8.70%. The main driver of outperformance was strong security selection within Financial Services, Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Technology, in addition to underweights to Energy and Real Estate. Another strong performer was the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 5.96% during the first half of the year. The strong results were primarily driven by an overweight to Technology and an underweight to Energy, in addition to strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Industrials.

1 The Dow Jones Moderately Conservative Index is a total return index designed to provide asset allocation strategists with a target risk benchmark. Each month, the Index adjusts its weighting of stocks, bonds, and cash indices (both domestic and foreign) such that the risk combination will have 40% of the risk of an all equity portfolio.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio reflects the expenses of both the Portfolio and the Underlying Portfolios in which it invests.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio (the “Asset Allocation Portfolio”), which is diversified. The Asset Allocation Portfolio operates under a “fund of funds” structure, investing substantially all of its assets in other Portfolios advised by Brighthouse Investment Advisers (each, an “Underlying Portfolio,” and, collectively, the “Underlying Portfolios”). Shares in the Asset Allocation Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio has registered and offers two classes of shares: Class A and B shares. Shares of each Class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Asset Allocation Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Asset Allocation Portfolio, and certain Asset Allocation Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Asset Allocation Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Asset Allocation Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are valued at their closing daily net asset value (“NAV”) on the valuation date. Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. For information about the use of fair value pricing by the Underlying Portfolios, please refer to the prospectuses of the Underlying Portfolios.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Asset Allocation Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Capital gains distributions received from the Underlying Portfolios are recorded as net realized gain in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Asset Allocation Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to distributions from Underlying Portfolios. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Asset Allocation Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Underlying Portfolios invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Underlying Portfolios may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Underlying Portfolios; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Underlying Portfolios may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Underlying Portfolios have unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Underlying Portfolios to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Underlying Portfolios manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Underlying Portfolios’ investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of their trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of their net exposure to each individual counterparty based on the adviser’s assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Underlying Portfolios restrict their exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom the Underlying Portfolios undertake a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Asset Allocation Portfolio and in the Underlying Portfolios in which it invests.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of shares of the Underlying Portfolios by the Asset Allocation Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 365,011,063 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 670,995,970 | |
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Asset Allocation Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Asset Allocation Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Asset Allocation Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$1,865,796 | | | 0.100 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.075 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.050 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
In addition to the above management fee paid to Brighthouse Investment Advisers, the Asset Allocation Portfolio indirectly pays Brighthouse Investment Advisers an investment advisory fee through its investments in the Underlying Portfolios.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s Class A and B Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s Class B shares. Under the Distribution and Services Plan, the Class B shares of the Asset Allocation Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Asset Allocation Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B shares of the Asset Allocation Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Services Plan for each class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B shares. Amount incurred by the Asset Allocation Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 is shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Transactions in Securities of Affiliated Underlying Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$251,467,645 | | $ | 25,111,814 | | | $ | 457,401,068 | | | $ | 434,346,857 | | | $ | 708,868,713 | | | $ | 459,458,671 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$131,370,425 | | $ | 205,376,743 | | | $ | (13,870,054 | ) | | $ | — | | | $ | 322,877,114 | |
The Asset Allocation Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, the Class A and B shares of the Brighthouse Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio returned 7.43% and 7.38%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Dow Jones Moderate Index1, returned 7.27%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The first half of the year was marked by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raising rates twice, both times in 0.25% increments, from 0.75% to 1.25%. In addition, the Fed has suggested another rate hike in 2017 as well as the beginning of ”a balance sheet normalization”, with reference to the Fed’s plan to start reducing its enormous balance sheet of approximately $4.5 trillion worth of primarily U.S. government bonds and mortgage securities. The Fed’s move comes on the back of continued slow but steady growth in the U.S., currently at the tune of 2% annually. However, despite the muted growth, the current eight-year-long economic expansion has driven the unemployment rate down to 4.3% as of this writing. This is a level not witnessed since 2000, and before that, one would have to go all the way back to 1969 to see a level that low. This level is noticeably below the long-run “normal” level of unemployment, typically defined by the Fed as being between 4.5 to 5.0%. As such, unemployment should not be expected to go much lower, despite the tailwind from more than 6 million current job openings, which would lower the unemployment rate by another approximately 4% if they were all filled. If the job market continues to tighten, however, it would not be a surprise to see stronger growth in wages, which in turn would help push core inflation above the current level of 1.9%, and above the Fed’s stated target of 2%.
Another factor pushing core inflation upward is housing expenses. After a game-changing collapse in housing leading up to the Financial Crisis, surviving homebuilders are still only cautiously embarking on new projects, despite an existing inventory of housing of only slightly more than four months. This, in turn, has led to an increase in the cost of renting and owning, a trend that could continue if interest rates continue to rise.
In addition to relatively healthy economic data, financial markets have been busy interpreting the impact of the potential shift in the regulatory environment and in fiscal policies that followed the November election. The result was a very healthy gain for stocks during the first two months of the year, as financial markets seemed to price in a complete and swift implementation of everything promised before and after the election. However, as investors got into March, expectations were lowered, epitomized by the Republican withdrawal of the healthcare bill. This led to sideways movement of U.S. stock prices until the second half of May, where another push higher led the U.S. stock market, as defined by the S&P 500 Index, to a very strong mid-year return of 9.34%. The robust returns were led by Information Technology and Healthcare, which returned 16.62% and 16.47%, respectively. At the other end of the scale was Energy and Telecommunication Services, which fell 13.82% and 10.77%, in that order. Large cap stocks outperformed both mid cap stocks and small cap stocks, which returned 7.99% and 4.99%, respectively, as measured by the Russell Mid Cap Index and the Russell 2000 Index.
Despite the strong performance of U.S. equity markets, non-U.S. equities fared even better. Foreign developed equity, as defined by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 13.81% during the first six months of the year, driven by relatively cheap valuations and a European economy that seems to be in recovery mode. Emerging Market (“EM”) equity was the best performing major asset class, returning 18.43% as defined by the MSCI EM Index. The strong returns were primarily driven by Asian economies, led by Korea, China and Taiwan, which returned 28.78%, 24.86% and 21.58%, respectively, according to their MSCI country-specific indices. European emerging markets were the laggard, primarily because of a negative return of 14.18% coming out of Russia, as defined by the MSCI Russia Index.
In the fixed income world, there was a slight curve-flattening during the first half of the year. The 1-year U.S. Treasury rate rose from 0.80% to 1.23%, but longer-term rates were, surprisingly, down slightly for the first six months of the year. The 5-year rates moved from 1.94% to 1.89%, the 10-year rate moved from 2.44% to 2.30%, and the 30-year rate moved from 3.05% to 2.83%, as the market responded to lower than expected inflation, and diminished hope that the economy can break out of the current 2% growth environment any time soon. However, the confirmation of steady economic growth, fueled strong returns for corporate bonds, and more so in in the low-quality end of the spectrum. As such, the lowest quality corporate bonds returned 6.59% during first half of the year, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Caa Index. Much of the strong return came out of the energy sector during the first quarter of the year, as surviving energy related companies have had a chance to adjust their businesses to low energy prices.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Brighthouse Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio invested in underlying portfolios of the Brighthouse Funds Trust I and the Brighthouse Funds Trust II to maintain a broad asset allocation of approximately 60% to equities and 40% to fixed income.
Over the six month period, the Portfolio outperformed the Dow Jones Moderate Index. While the contribution from the underlying fixed income and international equity portfolios was a drag on relative performance, strong performance by the U.S. equity portfolios combined with a favorable overweight to U.S. large cap equities, was enough to stay ahead of the benchmark.
Performance from the underlying fixed income portfolios was mixed during the first half of the year, but the overall contribution was a drag on relative performance. The main culprit for the underperformance was the Brighthouse/Templeton International Bond Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 4.47% over the

period. The main detractors from relative performance was the portfolio’s underweighted positions in the euro, the Japanese yen, and the Australian dollar. Underweighted duration exposure in the U.S. was a drag on relative performance as well. At the other end of the scale was the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 3.08%. The main contributor to performance was the portfolio’s allocation to investment grade credit, non-agency securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, in addition to favorable allocations to emerging markets. Another strong performer was the PIMCO Total Return Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 0.87%. An overweight to U.S. duration, positions in agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, and overweight the euro, yen, and pound currencies, were all positive contributors to performance.
Performance from the underlying domestic equity portfolios during the first half of the year was mixed as well, but the overall contribution to relative performance was positive. Within large cap equity, the T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio did particularly well, outperforming its benchmark by 5.60% during the first half of the year. The strong performance was driven by an overweight to Financial Services, and strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare, and Technology. Another strong performer was the Jennison Growth Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 4.75% for the period. The main reason for the strong performance was an overweight to Technology, underweights to Real Estate and Consumer Staples, and strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Industrials. At the other end of the scale was the BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 5.44% during the first half of the year. The significant underperformance was primarily a result of poor security selection within Energy, Consumer Staples, Technology, and Financial Services, in addition to an unfavorable overweight to Energy. Within mid cap equity, the T. Rowe Price Mid Cap Growth Portfolio stood out, as it outperformed its benchmark by 3.45% for the period. The main drivers of outperformance were strong security selection within Industrials, Financial Services, and Consumer Discretionary, as well as favorable underweights to Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples. The Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio was the strongest performer within the small cap equity asset class, as it outperformed its benchmark by 4.53% during the first half of the year. In addition to a favorable growth tilt vs. its value benchmark, the contribution from security selection within Technology, Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Energy helped relative performance. Furthermore, overweights to Healthcare and Technology and an underweight to Energy, also boosted relative return.
The contribution from the non-U.S. equity portfolios was overall negative, despite strong performance from several individual portfolios. The main reason for the overall detraction from relative performance, was the Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 4.97% during the first six months of the year. The main reasons for the underperformance were overweight positions and underperformance in the oil & gas exploration & production and oil & gas drilling sub-industries, and poor performance of securities within the Diversified Metals & Mining sector. At the other end of the scale was the Oppenheimer Global Equity Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 8.70%. The main driver of outperformance was strong security selection within Financial Services, Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Technology, in addition to underweights to Energy and Real Estate. Another strong performer was the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 5.96% during the first half of the year. The strong results were primarily driven by an overweight to Technology and an underweight to Energy, in addition to strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Industrials.

1 The Dow Jones Moderate Index is a total return index designed to provide asset allocation strategists with a target risk benchmark. Each month, the Index adjusts its weighting of stocks, bonds, and cash indices (both domestic and foreign) such that the risk combination will have 60% of the risk of an all equity portfolio.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Brighthouse Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio (the “Asset Allocation Portfolio”), which is diversified. The Asset Allocation Portfolio operates under a “fund of funds” structure, investing substantially all of its assets in other Portfolios advised by Brighthouse Investment Advisers (each, an “Underlying Portfolio,” and, collectively, the “Underlying Portfolios”). Shares in the Asset Allocation Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio has registered and offers two classes of shares: Class A and B shares. Shares of each Class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Asset Allocation Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Asset Allocation Portfolio, and certain Asset Allocation Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Asset Allocation Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Asset Allocation Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are valued at their closing daily net asset value (“NAV”) on the valuation date. Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. For information about the use of fair value pricing by the Underlying Portfolios, please refer to the prospectuses of the Underlying Portfolios.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Asset Allocation Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Capital gains distributions received from the Underlying Portfolios are recorded as net realized gain in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Asset Allocation Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to distribution re-designations and distributions from Underlying Portfolios. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Asset Allocation Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Underlying Portfolios invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Underlying Portfolios may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Underlying Portfolios; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Underlying Portfolios may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Underlying Portfolios have unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Underlying Portfolios to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Underlying Portfolios manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Underlying Portfolios’ investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of their trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of their net exposure to each individual counterparty based on the adviser’s assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Underlying Portfolios restrict their exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom the Underlying Portfolios undertake a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Asset Allocation Portfolio and in the Underlying Portfolios in which it invests.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of shares of the Underlying Portfolios by the Asset Allocation Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 792,188,140 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 1,094,714,687 | |
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Asset Allocation Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Asset Allocation Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Asset Allocation Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$3,768,851 | | | 0.100 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.075 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.050 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
In addition to the above management fee paid to Brighthouse Investment Advisers, the Asset Allocation Portfolio indirectly pays Brighthouse Investment Advisers an investment advisory fee through its investments in the Underlying Portfolios.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s Class A and B Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s Class B shares. Under the Distribution and Services Plan, the Class B shares of the Asset Allocation Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Asset Allocation Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B shares of the Asset Allocation Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Services Plan for each class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B shares. Amount incurred by the Asset Allocation Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 is shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Transactions in Securities of Affiliated Underlying Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$456,253,652 | | $ | 88,972,467 | | | $ | 1,296,019,571 | | | $ | 1,016,137,195 | | | $ | 1,752,273,223 | | | $ | 1,105,109,662 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$249,457,966 | | $ | 572,314,305 | | | $ | 198,277,323 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,020,049,594 | |
The Asset Allocation Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, the Class A and B shares of the Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio returned 9.46% and 9.33%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Index1, returned 8.91%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The first half of the year was marked by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raising rates twice, both times in 0.25% increments, from 0.75% to 1.25%. In addition, the Fed has suggested another rate hike in 2017 as well as the beginning of ”a balance sheet normalization”, with reference to the Fed’s plan to start reducing its enormous balance sheet of approximately $4.5 trillion worth of primarily U.S. government bonds and mortgage securities. The Fed’s move comes on the back of continued slow but steady growth in the U.S., currently at the tune of 2% annually. However, despite the muted growth, the current eight-year-long economic expansion has driven the unemployment rate down to 4.3% as of this writing. This is a level not witnessed since 2000, and before that, one would have to go all the way back to 1969 to see a level that low. This level is noticeably below the long-run “normal” level of unemployment, typically defined by the Fed as being between 4.5 to 5.0%. As such, unemployment should not be expected to go much lower, despite the tailwind from more than 6 million current job openings, which would lower the unemployment rate by another approximately 4% if they were all filled. If the job market continues to tighten, however, it would not be a surprise to see stronger growth in wages, which in turn would help push core inflation above the current level of 1.9%, and above the Fed’s stated target of 2%.
Another factor pushing core inflation upward is housing expenses. After a game-changing collapse in housing leading up to the Financial Crisis, surviving homebuilders are still only cautiously embarking on new projects, despite an existing inventory of housing of only slightly more than four months. This, in turn, has led to an increase in the cost of renting and owning, a trend that could continue if interest rates continue to rise.
In addition to relatively healthy economic data, financial markets have been busy interpreting the impact of the potential shift in the regulatory environment and in fiscal policies that followed the November election. The result was a very healthy gain for stocks during the first two months of the year, as financial markets seemed to price in a complete and swift implementation of everything promised before and after the election. However, as investors got into March, expectations were lowered, epitomized by the Republican withdrawal of the healthcare bill. This led to sideways movement of U.S. stock prices until the second half of May, where another push higher led the U.S. stock market, as defined by the S&P 500 Index, to a very strong mid-year return of 9.34%. The robust returns were led by Information Technology and Healthcare, which returned 16.62% and 16.47%, respectively. At the other end of the scale was Energy and Telecommunication Services, which fell 13.82% and 10.77%, in that order. Large cap stocks outperformed both mid cap stocks and small cap stocks, which returned 7.99% and 4.99%, respectively, as measured by the Russell Mid Cap Index and the Russell 2000 Index.
Despite the strong performance of U.S. equity markets, non-U.S. equities fared even better. Foreign developed equity, as defined by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 13.81% during the first six months of the year, driven by relatively cheap valuations and a European economy that seems to be in recovery mode. Emerging Market (“EM”) equity was the best performing major asset class, returning 18.43% as defined by the MSCI EM Index. The strong returns were primarily driven by Asian economies, led by Korea, China and Taiwan, which returned 28.78%, 24.86% and 21.58%, respectively, according to their MSCI country-specific indices. European emerging markets were the laggard, primarily because of a negative return of 14.18% coming out of Russia, as defined by the MSCI Russia Index.
In the fixed income world, there was a slight curve-flattening during the first half of the year. The 1-year U.S. Treasury rate rose from 0.80% to 1.23%, but longer-term rates were, surprisingly, down slightly for the first six months of the year. The 5-year rates moved from 1.94% to 1.89%, the 10-year rate moved from 2.44% to 2.30%, and the 30-year rate moved from 3.05% to 2.83%, as the market responded to lower than expected inflation, and diminished hope that the economy can break out of the current 2% growth environment any time soon. However, the confirmation of steady economic growth, fueled strong returns for corporate bonds, and more so in in the low-quality end of the spectrum. As such, the lowest quality corporate bonds returned 6.59% during first half of the year, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Caa Index. Much of the strong return came out of the energy sector during the first quarter of the year, as surviving energy related companies have had a chance to adjust their businesses to low energy prices.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio invested in underlying portfolios of the Brighthouse Funds Trust I and the Brighthouse Funds Trust II to maintain a broad asset allocation of approximately 80% to equities and 20% to fixed income.
Over the six month period, the Portfolio outperformed the Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Index. While the contribution from the underlying fixed income and international equity portfolios was a drag on relative performance, strong performance by the U.S. equity portfolios combined with a favorable overweight to U.S. large cap equity, was enough to stay ahead of the benchmark.
Performance from the underlying fixed income portfolios was mixed during the first half of the year, but the overall contribution was a drag on relative performance. The main culprit for the underperformance was the Brighthouse/Templeton International Bond Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 4.47% over the

Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
period. The main detractors from relative performance was the portfolio’s underweighted positions in the euro, the Japanese yen, and the Australian dollar. Underweighted duration exposure in the U.S. was a drag on relative performance as well. At the other end of the scale was the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 3.08%. The main contributor to performance was the portfolio’s allocation to investment grade credit, non-agency securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, in addition to favorable allocations to emerging markets. Another strong performer was the PIMCO Total Return Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 0.87%. An overweight to U.S. duration, positions in agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, and overweight the euro, yen, and pound currencies, were all positive contributors to performance.
Performance from the underlying domestic equity portfolios during the first half of the year was mixed as well, but the overall contribution to relative performance was positive. Within large cap equity, the T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio did particularly well, outperforming its benchmark by 5.60% during the first half of the year. The strong performance was driven by an overweight to Financial Services, and strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare, and Technology. Another strong performer was the Jennison Growth Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 4.75% for the period. The main reason for the strong performance was an overweight to Technology, underweights to Real Estate and Consumer Staples, and strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Industrials. At the other end of the scale was the BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 5.44% during the first half of the year. The significant underperformance was primarily a result of poor security selection within Energy, Consumer Staples, Technology, and Financial Services, in addition to an unfavorable overweight to Energy. Within mid cap equity, the Morgan Stanley Mid Cap Growth Portfolio significantly outperformed its benchmark during the period, beating it by 16.71%. The feat was driven by strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary, Technology, Financial Services, and Healthcare, as well as a large overweight to Technology and an underweight to Consumer Staples. The T. Rowe Price Mid Cap Growth Portfolio also stood out, as it outperformed its benchmark by 3.45% for the period. The main drivers of outperformance were strong security selection within Industrials, Financial Services, and Consumer Discretionary, as well as favorable underweights to Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples. The Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio was the strongest performer within the small cap equity asset class, as it outperformed its benchmark by 4.53% during the first half of the year. In addition to a favorable growth tilt vs. its value benchmark, the contribution from security selection within Technology, Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Energy helped relative performance. Furthermore, overweights to Healthcare and Technology and an underweight to Energy, also boosted relative return.
The contribution from the non-U.S. equity portfolios was overall negative, despite strong performance from several individual portfolios. The main reason for the overall detraction from relative performance, was the Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 4.97% during the first six months of the year. The main reasons for the underperformance were overweight positions and underperformance in the oil & gas exploration & production and oil & gas drilling sub-industries, and poor performance of securities within the Diversified Metals & Mining sector. At the other end of the scale was the Oppenheimer Global Equity Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 8.70%. The main driver of outperformance was strong security selection within Financial Services, Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Technology, in addition to underweights to Energy and Real Estate. Another strong performer was the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 5.96% during the first half of the year. The strong results were primarily driven by an overweight to Technology and an underweight to Energy, in addition to strong security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Industrials.

1 The Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Index is a total return index designed to provide asset allocation strategists with a target risk benchmark. Each month, the Index adjusts its weighting of stocks, bonds, and cash indices (both domestic and foreign) such that the risk combination will have 80% of the risk of an all equity portfolio.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio
Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio (the “Asset Allocation Portfolio”), which is diversified. The Asset Allocation Portfolio operates under a “fund of funds” structure, investing substantially all of its assets in other Portfolios advised by Brighthouse Investment Advisers (each, an “Underlying Portfolio,” and, collectively, the “Underlying Portfolios”). Shares in the Asset Allocation Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio has registered and offers two classes of shares: Class A and B shares. Shares of each Class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Asset Allocation Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Asset Allocation Portfolio, and certain Asset Allocation Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Asset Allocation Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Asset Allocation Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are valued at their closing daily net asset value (“NAV”) on the valuation date. Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. For information about the use of fair value pricing by the Underlying Portfolios, please refer to the prospectuses of the Underlying Portfolios.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Asset Allocation Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Capital gains distributions received from the Underlying Portfolios are recorded as net realized gain in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Asset Allocation Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to distribution re-designations and distributions from Underlying Portfolios. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Asset Allocation Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Underlying Portfolios invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Underlying Portfolios may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Underlying Portfolios; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Underlying Portfolios may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Underlying Portfolios have unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Underlying Portfolios to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Underlying Portfolios manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Underlying Portfolios’ investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of their trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of their net exposure to each individual counterparty based on the adviser’s assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Underlying Portfolios restrict their exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom the Underlying Portfolios undertake a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Asset Allocation Portfolio and in the Underlying Portfolios in which it invests.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of shares of the Underlying Portfolios by the Asset Allocation Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 660,390,774 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 836,994,832 | |
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Asset Allocation Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Asset Allocation Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Asset Allocation Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$2,956,045 | | | 0.100 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.075 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.050 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
In addition to the above management fee paid to Brighthouse Investment Advisers, the Asset Allocation Portfolio indirectly pays Brighthouse Investment Advisers an investment advisory fee through its investments in the Underlying Portfolios.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s Class A and B Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s Class B shares. Under the Distribution and Services Plan, the Class B shares of the Asset Allocation Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Asset Allocation Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B shares of the Asset Allocation Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Services Plan for each class of the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B shares. Amount incurred by the Asset Allocation Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 is shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Transactions in Securities of Affiliated Underlying Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$322,023,352 | | $ | 40,629,365 | | | $ | 1,279,916,103 | | | $ | 543,456,542 | | | $ | 1,601,939,455 | | | $ | 584,085,907 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$174,209,639 | | $ | 616,353,371 | | | $ | 243,954,162 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,034,517,172 | |
The Asset Allocation Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B, D and E shares of the Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio returned 14.80%, 14.64%, 14.71%, and 14.71%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index1, returned 11.40%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The markets’ steady climb through the first six months of 2017 has been the result of solid corporate earnings and continued multiple expansion based upon a series of healthy economic readings. Although policy changes anticipated under the new administration have not been enacted, the economy continued along a path of modest growth, with first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanding 1.2%. The U.S. Federal Reserve raised their benchmark rate another 25 basis points in mid-June and the market has accepted this gradual tightening.
During the first half of the year, growth has handily outpaced value in a reversal of 2016. Specifically, the Russell Midcap Growth Index gain of 11.4% far surpassed the Russell Midcap Value return of 5.2%. This pattern was consistent in all market capitalization segments. The divergence is reflective of market concern regarding a peaking in Institute for Supply Management (ISM) manufacturing data, an inflection in monetary policy and inaction in Washington. Indeed, sector leadership is transitioning from cyclical groups such as Energy and Industrials to areas of greater secular growth such as Information Technology and Health Care.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio’s relative outperformance was driven equally by favorable sector allocation and positive stock selection. Information Technology was the area of the greatest absolute and relative exposure which proved advantageous and was augmented by strong stock selection. Within the sector, our focus on companies with key enabling wireless content prospered with Universal Display rising 94%. Additionally, gaming software holdings Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard which had lagged during the fourth quarter of 2016 on holiday sales concerns bounced back strongly (up 34% and 60%, respectively) following better than expected results. Health Care was the second largest sector and also an area the Portfolio was overweight relative to the index. We have been focused upon companies with steady secular growth, innovation and new product-driven margin opportunities. All of these attributes were reflected in our top contributing holdings Cooper Companies and C. R. Bard (up 37% and 41%, respectively). Finally, our long-held caution toward the consumer sectors proved accurate as both Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary significantly underperformed the Index during the first six months of the year while our selective approach produced positive stock selection. On the downside, performance was modestly restrained by Energy as oil prices once again fell below $50 a barrel causing a drag on exploration companies such as Carrizo Oil & Gas (down 53%).
At period end, we continued to favor areas with steady, visible growth amid an economic environment displaying constrained nominal growth and more specifically companies that are share gainers in growth markets. During the period, we found attractive opportunities in data services and insurance brokerage companies within Financials, communications-related semiconductors within Information Technology, biotechnology and specialized pharmaceuticals suppliers within Health Care, and infrastructure-related building suppliers within Materials. In terms of areas with relatively less exposure, we continued to find the consumer sectors challenged by competitive disruption from the likes of Amazon and Netflix and as such remain underweight. In addition, given the maturing of this business cycle, we are being selective in our industrial and commodity-related exposure.

1 The Russell Midcap Growth Index is an unmanaged measure of performance of those Russell Midcap companies (the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index) with higher price-to-book ratios and forecasted growth values.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers four classes of shares: Class A, B, D and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to broker commission recapture, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and net operating losses. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $39,042,384. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $23,342,813. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 149,151,082 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 269,561,386 | |
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$4,183,442 | | | 0.750 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.700 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.650 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Frontier Capital Management Company, LLC (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, the Adviser has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum reduction | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.050% | | On the first $500 million |
0.025% | | Over $850 million and less than $1 billion |
(0.025)% | | On the next $250 million |
An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B, D, and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B, D, and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B, D, and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B, D, and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares, 0.10% per year for Class D Shares, and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$— | | $ | 25,138,144 | | | $ | 132,110,262 | | | $ | 136,736,489 | | | $ | 132,110,262 | | | $ | 161,874,633 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$— | | $ | 28,382,089 | | | $ | 162,253,825 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 190,635,914 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the Jennison Growth Portfolio returned 18.74%, 18.66%, and 18.69%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index1, returned 13.99%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Equity markets advanced broadly in 2017’s first half. In the U.S., solid economic fundamentals, including moderate GDP (Gross Domestic Product) expansion, robust employment, and accelerating corporate profit growth, held sway over the new administration’s shaky start and Congress’s inaction. Inflation remained benign, as oil prices fell. The U.S. dollar declined against major world currencies, and gold and other major metal prices rose. The Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate to 1.00%-1.25%. As the legislative process for altering health care policy extended well beyond the GOP’s original timetable, other legislation—raising the debt ceiling, passing a budget resolution, tax reform, and infrastructure spending—stalled. The firing of FBI director James Comey, which led to the appointment of a special counsel to assume his investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, stoked further political acrimony and impeded action on policies proposed during the 2016 campaign.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
Information Technology (“IT”) positions were key contributors to Portfolio outperformance, with both stock selection and an overweight benefiting absolute and relative return. Internet and mobile technologies have been transforming the world for some time, yet their impact, far from moderating, continues to grow. This inflection point in the broad-based effects of technology continues to be a major driver of returns and a key investment theme. Nowhere is this more dramatic than China. Alibaba’s financial results beat consensus expectations on most key metrics. The company operates China’s largest global online wholesale platform for small businesses, China’s largest online retail website, and China’s largest online third-party platform for brands and retailers. Tencent, China’s largest and most visited Internet service portal, continued to perform well fundamentally driven by its dominant position in China’s online gaming and instant messaging markets and its growing advertising and payment service efforts. Its revenue and earnings exceeded forecasts. Apple’s strength reflected the proliferation of the iOS platform across mobile phone, tablet, and personal computer landscapes as well as the financial power and attractive margins of the company’s hardware products. The technology of social media has changed how we interact with friends and family, and how and when we consume and share information. Facebook’s revenue and earnings beat consensus expectations, with user growth continuing to accelerate and engagement remaining solid. We believe that as the Internet-based social platform solidifies its dominant position, it continued to increase its appeal to both users and advertisers. Adobe Systems makes digital-imaging and print-publishing products as well as web-development tools and online-analytics software. Its revenue, operating margin, earnings, and cash flow beat projections. Nvidia transformed itself from a personal-computer-centric graphics provider to a company focused on key high-growth markets where we believe it can leverage its graphics expertise to offer high-value-added solutions. Its revenue and earnings exceeded expectations, and the company’s guidance likewise surpassed forecasts.
Technological innovation is affecting not only the Technology sector but many other industries, as well. In the Consumer sectors, it’s transforming the retail industry. Amazon’s proposed acquisition of Whole Foods potentially unlocks another large addressable market over the long term. It also suggests that food retailers will have to focus on e-commerce efforts and customer data to drive traffic. As Amazon’s business momentum continues, we believe investments in distribution, digital content, Prime Now/Amazon Fresh, Alexa/Echo, and India will continue to fuel growth. Technology is also altering the automotive industry. We continue to believe that Tesla is positioned to drive rapid growth in the adoption of electric autos. Its revenue and automobile gross margin were better than anticipated. Technology has also transformed how we plan and book travel. Priceline is benefitting from the secular shift to online travel spending, especially in markets with lower market penetration offering greater early-stage growth opportunities.
In Health Care, advances in human genome mapping and gene-sequencing technology have coupled with a new understanding of the underlying biology of diseases. The result is an innovation cycle in which companies are able to identify gene function and implement new technology platforms to develop drugs that more precisely target underlying disease mechanisms. We expect that productive research and development activity will yield effective disease treatments that improve the quality of patients’ lives – characteristics that have been the source of longer-term outperformance in the sector. However, Health Care holdings have been challenged of late. Alexion Pharmaceuticals declined on news of an investigation into its sales practices and a management shakeup. The Portfolio’s position was eliminated. Bristol-Myers Squibb fell on dashed hopes for an accelerated approval timeline for its combination of two drugs in the treatment of lung cancer.
Other detractors from Portfolio performance included Qualcomm and O’Reilly Automotive. Cellphone chipmaker Qualcomm fell on new and ongoing antitrust litigation. The position was eliminated by period end. O’Reilly Automotive’s revenue, earnings, and comparable-store sales missed estimates. The stock’s weakness also may have reflected concerns about online competition.
Energy positions Halliburton, EOG Resources, and Concho Resources declined along with the benchmark sector, as expectations that oil prices would stabilize and that oil field capital spending programs would accelerate have come into question. The Portfolio’s position in Halliburton was eliminated during the period.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
The Portfolio is constructed through individual stock selection, based on the fundamentals of individual companies. Sector weights over the course of 2017’s first six months were largely stable. Relative to the Russell 1000 Growth benchmark, the Portfolio ended the period overweight IT and Consumer Discretionary, and underweight Industrials and Consumer Staples.

1 The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged measure of performance of the largest capitalized U.S. companies, within the Russell 1000 companies, that have higher price-to-book ratios and forecasted growth values.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Jennison Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Jennison Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Jennison Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and broker commission recapture. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $ 3,738,651. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $45,183,694. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.

Jennison Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:

5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$8,126,721 | | | 0.700 | % | | Of the first $200 million |
| | | 0.650 | % | | Of the next $300 million |
| | | 0.600 | % | | Of the next $1.5 billion |
| | | 0.550 | % | | On amounts in excess of $2 billion |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Jennison Associates LLC (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period January 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.100% | | Of the first $200 million |

0.080% | | On amounts in excess of $2 billion |

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$5,501,464 | | $ | 8,272,620 | | | $ | 342,535,388 | | | $ | 435,555,050 | | | $ | 348,036,852 | | | $ | 443,827,670 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$6,476,431 | | $ | 197,548,587 | | | $ | 666,416,520 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 870,441,538 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio
Managed by Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P.
Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio returned 4.54%, 4.42%, and 4.47%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index1, returned 4.99%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The equity markets continued to climb during the period, extending the post-election rally and preserving positive trends since February of 2016. Underlying positive market action was a change in leadership between growth and value stocks. Over the first half of 2017, growth stocks had been outperforming value stocks. Similarly, large cap stocks outperformed small cap stocks. This marks a notable change from the rally following the U.S. Presidential election which favored domestically focused small cap stocks and value stocks like financials that are potential beneficiaries of fiscal stimulus, reduced regulation and higher interest rates. The market shift over the period reflected a more stable economic environment and lowered expectations for the Trump administration’s ability to implement policy changes. Sector leadership was concentrated in growth segments such as Health Care and Information Technology, while traditional value sectors such as Energy, Financials and Consumer Staples lagged. The difference in performance between small cap sectors was notable, despite overall market volatility tracking at historical lows. For instance, small cap Health Care stocks in the Russell 2000 Index were up over 22% during the first half of 2017, while the Energy sector was down almost 28%.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio underperformed the Russell 2000 Index during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Positive stock selection was offset by negative sector allocation. An underweight to the top-performing Health Care sector, despite solid stock selection, and a slight overweight to the bottom-performing Energy sector hurt the Portfolio’s overall return. Positive stock performance in the Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors were additive to the Portfolio’s results.
The largest detractors to performance were Synchronoss Technologies, U.S. Silica Holdings, and Genesco. In technology, Synchronoss Technologies, a provider of hosted storage, software and services to the telecommunications industry, surprised to the downside with some disappointing news. The company pre-announced a first-quarter earnings shortfall in late April. The company also announced the sudden departure of its new CEO and CFO, both of whom had only been with the company for a couple of weeks. We eliminated the holding over the period. U.S. Silica is a producer and logistical supplier of sand for energy and industrial markets. Investor concerns were focused on OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Companies) and the price of oil, as well as industry announcements of growth in sand mine capacity. We retained a constructive view in the stock driven by our belief of a good management team, a solid balance sheet, a diversified asset base, the industry trend of increased sand consumption on a per well basis, and the significantly under-appreciated last-mile logistical assets. Genesco is a mall based retailer of footwear and headwear, operating through Journeys, Johnston & Murphy, Schuh and Lids retail brands. While we believe retail in general has been weak and recent changes in fashion trends have negatively impacted the Journeys store concept, other brands such as Lids appear poised for improvement. In our view, the stock’s valuation was fundamentally attractive, and we maintained the position in anticipation of improving trends in the second half of the year.
The Portfolio’s top contributors to performance were Marriott Vacations Worldwide, Cynosure, and RingCentral. Marriott Vacations Worldwide, a developer of timeshare ownership properties operating under the Ritz-Carlton and Marriott brand names, was a top contributor over the period. The company reported another strong quarterly result, and expectations for further consolidation within the timeshare industry led to solid gains in the stock. We reduced the Portfolio’s holdings during the period to manage the position size, as valuations increased. Cynosure manufactures lasers for medical and aesthetic treatment applications. In February, Hologic acquired Cynosure at a 28% premium to its prior day closing price. The holding was sold during the first quarter. RingCentral offers a cloud-based service that replaces the need to install business communication systems (dubbed PBXs) on premise, offering advantages such as minimal upfront investment, rapid deployment and management ease. The company reported revenues that surpassed Wall Street estimates and the company raised 2017 guidance.
During the period, we added new stocks with attractive investment potential and eliminated holdings where valuations had exceeded our target levels or where fundamental trends strayed from our investment thesis. New positions included C&J Energy Services, a leading oilfield services company providing a range of well completion and well support services; Nautilus, a fitness equipment company; CenterState Banks, the holding company for CenterState Bank of Florida; Ingevity, a leading manufacturer of activated carbon used in gasoline emission control in cars, trucks and other vehicles; and Varex Imaging, who designs, manufactures, and sells x-ray imaging components and is a recent spin-out from Varian Medical. Eliminations included Cynosure and Nord Anglia Education (Hong Kong) which were both acquisition targets. Other sales included Life Storage and Gibraltar Industries on fundamental developments. Vail Resorts and WellCare Health Plans were eliminated on strength as both stocks had performed well and provided a source of funds for new ideas.
While we do not make major adjustments to the Portfolio based on near-term macroeconomic expectations, they are part of the mosaic of inputs and we can adjust position sizes to reflect our fundamental level of conviction and the risk/reward outlook. Sector weight changes during the six-month period ending June 30, 2017 were modest, resulting in slight changes to the positioning of the Portfolio.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
As a result of individual stock selection, the Portfolio’s weight in the Financials and Real Estate sectors was reduced and the Portfolio’s weight to the Health Care sector increased. As always, our focus remained on small cap companies where the stock price and valuation do not accurately reflect our assessment of the underlying value of the corporate enterprise.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1- unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to broker commission recapture, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances, distribution re-designations and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) adjustments. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $10,174,297. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $14,589,370. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:

| | | 0.850 | % | | On amounts in excess of $500 million |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | | | |
% per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
| 0.050 | % | | Of the first $200 million |
| 0.100 | % | | On the next $300 million |
| 0.050 | % | | On amounts in excess of $500 million |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$1,101,754 | | $ | 410,528 | | | $ | 39,089,011 | | | $ | 60,274,042 | | | $ | 40,190,765 | | | $ | 60,684,570 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$1,238,555 | | $ | 30,081,353 | | | $ | 136,999,794 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 168,319,702 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.

9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio returned 14.32%, 14.06%, and 14.11%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index1, returned 9.97%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The equity markets continued to climb during the period, extending the post-election rally and preserving positive trends since February of 2016. Underlying positive market action was a change in leadership between growth and value stocks. Over the first half of 2017, growth stocks had been outperforming value stocks. Similarly, large cap stocks outperformed small cap stocks. This marks a notable change from the rally following the U.S. Presidential election which favored domestically focused small cap stocks and value stocks like financials that are potential beneficiaries of fiscal stimulus, reduced regulation and higher interest rates. The market shift over the last few months reflected a more stable economic environment and lowered expectations for the Trump administration’s ability to implement policy changes. Not surprisingly, growth areas of the market regained their leadership roles, as Information Technology and Health Care sectors outperformed during the period. Biotechnology stocks have been particularly strong, up over 33% (as measured by the industry group in the Russell 2000 Growth Index). Overall, the environment favored growth during the first half of the year.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the period. Positive stock selection, primarily within the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors, contributed to relative results. The Portfolio’s overweight position in the Energy sector detracted over the period as Energy declined significantly during the quarter.
The Portfolio’s top stock contributors were RingCentral, Wix.com and Medidata Solutions. RingCentral is a leading provider of software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solution for business communications. The company reported a strong quarter driven by accelerated subscription revenue growth. Wix.com is a leading internet-based web development platform with more than 100 million registered users worldwide. The stock has benefited significantly based roughly on 40% annual growth in revenue and billings, combined with steady improvement in margins and free cash flow. Medidata Solutions, a provider of cloud-based applications for the clinical trial process, announced a multi-year contract with a large pharmaceutical company, and also saw solid results from its cross-selling efforts.
The Portfolio’s largest detractors were Team, PDC Energy, and Acorda Therapeutics. Team, a specialized industrial services company, reported a weak fourth quarter. The company experienced uneven ordering patterns from its customers due to depressed oil prices and subsequent deferral of necessary maintenance work. The company refrained from giving any 2017 guidance until visibility in spending patterns from customers improves. PDC Energy declined during the time period, as weakness in Energy negatively impacted the stock despite the company reporting steady sequential production growth. Acorda Therapeutics, a specialty pharmaceutical company with a commercialized multiple sclerosis drug and two Parkinson’s drugs in late-stage development, received bad news on the last day of the first quarter. The patent court rejected the company’s attempt to extend the life of its patents, and the market immediately discounted the loss of Acorda’s exclusive position.
Sector weights during the six-month period ending June 30, 2017 did change in a few sectors on both an absolute and relative basis. The changes were primarily the result of our bottom-up, stock selection investment process. The Portfolio’s weight in the Information Technology sector increased during the time period, particularly in the software and SaaS groups. We added selectively to those groups, but market appreciation also factored into the Portfolio’s absolute exposure being increased. Industrials and Health Care exposures also increased slightly during the period through additions to aerospace and defense within Industrials and providers within Health Care. Consumer Discretionary exposure was decreased over the time period as we sold out of a few names in the restaurant and leisure group that no longer met our investment criteria.

1 The Russell 2000 Growth Index is an unmanaged measure of performance of those Russell 2000 companies (small capitalization companies) that have higher price-to book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to net operating losses, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and broker commission recapture. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.

Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $8,022,311. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $15,811,431. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 73,871,962 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 98,005,008 | |
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$1,601,412 | | | 0.900 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.850 | % | | On amounts in excess of $500 million |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.050% | | On the first $100 million |
0.100% | | On the next $400 million |
0.050% | | On amounts in excess of $500 million |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of
BHFTII-15
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$— | | $ | — | | | $ | 38,009,965 | | | $ | 55,079,215 | | | $ | 38,009,965 | | | $ | 55,079,215 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$— | | $ | 16,748,734 | | | $ | 71,498,870 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 88,247,604 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the MetLife Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio returned 2.12%, 2.00%, 2.07%, and 1.97%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1, returned 2.27%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The Federal Open Market Committee (the “Committee”) met four times during the six-month period and twice raised the Federal Funds Rate by 25 basis points during the March and June meetings to increase the Federal Funds Rate target to 1.00% to 1.25%. The Committee had noted improvements in the labor market, household spending and business investment as the main drivers of the moderate expansion of the economy. Inflation had been moving towards the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) 2% long-run target before decreasing to 1.7% in April. The Committee still expects inflation to normalize towards its long-run target given employment is at its maximum sustainable levels.
As of the end of June, the Committee is maintaining the size of the Fed’s balance sheet containing Treasury and Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”), but will begin to implement balance sheet normalization later this year. According to the Policy and Normalization Principles and Plans, the Committee will reinvest proceeds from holdings only to the extent that they exceed gradually increasing caps on reductions in security holdings. The Committee will begin gradually reducing its holdings by $6 billion a month in Treasury and $4 billion in Agency MBS. Those caps will be increased over the next year to $30 billion a month for Treasury and $20 billion a month for Agency MBS. By limiting the number of securities that the market needs to absorb, the caps should guard against potential market strains.
The conclusion of the U.S. presidential election and increased probability of a Republican controlled congress to pass pro-growth policies sustained a rally in equity and fixed income risk markets initially. Those optimistic projections have been tempered by the reality of the current political process and the equity rally subsided, but volatility remains very low. The S&P 500 Index returned 5.5% in the first quarter but weakened slightly in the second quarter to finish the first half of 2017 at 9.34%. The risk rally and historically low volatility led to a flatter fixed income curve. The difference between 2-year and 10-year Treasury rates decreased 46 basis points to 0.93% at the end of the second quarter. The 10-year Treasury declined 15 basis points to 2.31% and the 30-year Treasury declined 23 basis points to 2.84%.
The Corporate sector was the strongest-performing Index sector for the six-month period on a total return basis. Total returns for the Index sectors were: 3.80% for Corporate; 2.70% for Government-Related; 2.18% for Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities; 1.87% for Treasury; 1.35% for MBS and 1.14% for Asset-Backed Securities.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Portfolio is managed utilizing a Stratified Sampling approach where the objective is to track the performance of the Index by holding a subset of Index constituents and neutralizing exposures across key characteristics (i.e., duration, term structure, high sector, sub-sector, quality). Factors that impact tracking error include: sampling, transaction costs, contributions and withdrawals.

1The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
2 Inception dates of the Class A, Class B, Class E and Class G shares are 11/9/98,1/2/01, 5/1/01 and 4/28/09, respectively.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is MetLife Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers four classes of shares: Class A, B, E and G shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from pricing services selected by the Adviser pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board. These securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order
BHFTII-24
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their closing prices as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to amortization of debt securities, expired capital loss carryforwards and paydown reclasses. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities - The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities may include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBS”), and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by or payable from, mortgage loans on real property or other receivables. The value of some mortgage- or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
BHFTII-25
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
In one type of SMBS, one class receives all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security until maturity. These adjustments are netted against payments received for the IOs and the net amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. Details of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities held by the Portfolio are included in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.
The Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be negatively impacted by increased volatility of market prices and periods of illiquidity.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Securities - The Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase commitment is made. The Portfolio may purchase securities under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Portfolio may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.
Upon making a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will hold liquid assets in a segregated account with the Portfolio’s custodian, or set aside liquid assets in the Portfolio’s records, worth at least the equivalent of the amount due. The liquid assets will be monitored on a daily basis and adjusted as necessary to maintain the necessary value.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $38,651,740. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at
BHFTII-26
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
The following table provides a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligations by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturities of those transactions, which are accounted for as secured borrowings.

3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

% per annum | | Average daily net assets |
0.005% | | Over $500 million and under $1 billion |
0.010% | | Of the next $1 billion |
0.015% | | On amounts over $2 billion |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B, E, and G Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B, E, and G Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares, 0.15% per year for Class E Shares, and 0.30% per year for Class G Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$71,960,664 | | $ | 67,783,544 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 71,960,664 | | | $ | 67,783,544 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Loss Carryforwards | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$75,372,548 | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,159,047 | | | $ | (9,934,932 | ) | | $ | (36,115,942 | ) | | $ | 30,480,721 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, $6,670,752 of capital loss carryforwards expired.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had post-enactment short-term accumulated capital losses of $6,088,888, post-enactment long-term accumulated capital losses of $30,027,054, and the pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards and expiration dates were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Expiring 12/31/17 | | |
| | $9,934,932 | | |
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio returned 5.87%, 5.71%, 5.82%, and 5.68%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Midcap 400 Index1, returned 5.99%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
During the first six months of 2017, equity markets continued to make new all-time highs, rallying on the strength of the global economy, strong corporate earnings, and optimism about potential changes to financial regulation and tax reform. The equity markets also reacted positively to U.S. lawmakers reaching an agreement on a spending bill, the outcome of the French Presidential elections, and better than expected macroeconomic data, including U.S. manufacturing, U.S. nonfarm payrolls, and U.S. consumer sentiment. Equity markets remained resilient despite the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) Conservative Party’s failure to win a majority in the U.K. snap election on June 8th and increased political risks in the U.S. after President Trump fired FBI Director Comey. Other factors that weighed on the equity markets included geopolitical tensions in Syria and North Korea, two rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), and the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) minutes showing members discussed the potential shrinking of the Fed balance sheet by as early as December.
During the first six months, the FOMC met four times and raised the target range for the Federal Funds Rate twice to 1.00% to 1.25%. The FOMC stated that the labor market had continued to strengthen and that economic activity had been rising moderately so far this year. The FOMC also stated that job gains had moderated but had been solid since the beginning of the year.
Eight of the eleven sectors comprising the S&P Midcap 400 Index experienced positive returns for the first six months of 2017. Health Care (7.5% beginning weight in the benchmark), up 22.5%, was the best performing sector. Information Technology (17.6% beginning weight), up 12.0%, and Materials (7.3% beginning weight), up 9.1%, were the next best-performing sectors. Telecom Services (0.2% beginning weight), down 31.2%, and Energy (4.0% beginning weight), down 30.0%, were the worst performing sectors.
The stocks with the largest positive impact on the benchmark return for the first half of the year were Chemours, up 71.0%; Align Technology, up 51.1%; and Packaging Corporation of America, up 33.0%. The stocks with the largest negative impact were Nabors Industries, down 49.8%; QEP Resources, down 45.1%; and United States Steel, down 32.7%.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio is managed utilizing a full replication strategy versus the S&P Midcap 400 Index. This strategy seeks to replicate the performance of the Index by owning all of the components of the Index at their respective Index capitalization weights. The Portfolio is periodically rebalanced for compositional changes in the S&P Midcap 400 Index. Factors that impact tracking error include transaction costs, cash drag, securities lending, NAV rounding, contributions and withdrawals.

1 The Standard & Poor’s (S&P) MidCap 400 Index is an unmanaged index measuring the performance of the mid-size company segment of the U.S. market. The Index consists of 400 domestic stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation.
2 Inception dates of the Class A, Class B, Class E and Class G shares are 7/5/00, 1/2/01, 5/1/01 and 4/28/09, respectively.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers four classes of shares: Class A, B, E and G shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the
BHFTII-16
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) adjustments. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No
BHFTII-17
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $26,883,388. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Investments in Derivative Instruments
Futures Contracts - The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts as a hedge, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Portfolio may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Portfolio must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities, which is returned when the Portfolio’s obligations under the contract have been
BHFTII-18
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Portfolio depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expires, the 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that the market for these instruments may be illiquid and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts are exchange-traded, the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. For OTC futures, the Portfolio’s ability to terminate the positions may be more limited than in the case of exchange-traded positions and may also involve the risk that securities dealers participating in such transactions would fail to meet their obligations to the Portfolio.
The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives held by the Portfolio at June 30, 2017 by category of risk exposure:
| | | | | | |
| | Liability Derivatives | |
Risk Exposure | | Statement of Assets & Liabilities Location | | Fair Value | |
Equity | | Unrealized depreciation on futures contracts (a) | | $ | 153,564 | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
(a) | | Includes cumulative appreciation/depreciation of futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Investments. Only the current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
The following tables summarize the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, classified by derivative type and category of risk exposure, for the six months ended June 30, 2017:

4. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
BHFTII-19
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency, which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to Portfolio assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the Portfolio. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
5. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 137,277,904 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 151,916,790 | |
6. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of 0.250% of average daily net assets. Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $1,366,696.
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with MetLife Investment Advisors, LLC (“MIA”) with respect to managing the Portfolio. For providing subadvisory services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed to pay MIA an investment subadvisory fee for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.030% | | On the first $500 million |
0.020% | | On the next $500 million |
0.010% | | On amounts over $1 billion |
Fees earned by MIA with respect to the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $129,051.
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum reduction | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.005% | | Over $500 million and under $1 billion |
0.010% | | Of the next $1 billion |
0.015% | | On amounts over $2 billion |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
BHFTII-20
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B, E, and G Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B, E, and G Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares, 0.15% per year for Class E Shares, and 0.30% per year for Class G Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$11,053,120 | | $ | 14,033,509 | | | $ | 74,642,237 | | | $ | 56,487,447 | | | $ | 85,695,357 | | | $ | 70,520,956 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$14,672,131 | | $ | 69,971,811 | | | $ | 283,643,265 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 368,287,207 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments
BHFTII-21
Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B, D, E and G shares of the MetLife Stock Index Portfolio returned 9.20%, 9.08%, 9.16%, 9.12% and 9.06%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index1, returned 9.34%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
During the first six months of 2017, equity markets continued to make new all-time highs, rallying on the strength of the global economy, strong corporate earnings, and optimism about potential changes to financial regulation and tax reform. The equity markets also reacted positively to U.S. lawmakers reaching an agreement on a spending bill, the outcome of the French Presidential elections, and better than expected macroeconomic data, including U.S. manufacturing, U.S. nonfarm payrolls, and U.S. consumer sentiment. Equity markets remained resilient despite the United Kingdoms (“U.K.”) Conservative Party’s failure to win a majority in the U.K. snap election on June 8th and increased political risks in the U.S. after President Trump fired FBI Director Comey. Other factors that weighed on the equity markets included geopolitical tensions in Syria and North Korea, two rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), and the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) minutes showing members discussed the potential shrinking of the Fed balance sheet by as early as December.
During the first six months, the FOMC met four times and raised the target range for the Federal Funds Rate twice to 1.00% to 1.25%. The FOMC stated that the labor market had continued to strengthen and that economic activity had been rising moderately so far this year. The FOMC also stated that job gains had moderated but had been solid since the beginning of the year.
Nine of the eleven sectors comprising the S&P 500 Index experienced positive returns for the first six months of 2017. Information Technology (20.8% beginning weight in the benchmark), up 17.2%, was the best-performing sector and had the largest positive impact on the benchmark return. Health Care (13.6% beginning weight), up 16.1%, and Consumer Discretionary (12.0% beginning weight), up 11.0%, were the next best-performing sectors. Energy (7.6% beginning weight), down 12.6%, and Telecom Services (2.7% beginning weight), down 10.7%, were the worst-performing sectors.
The stocks with the largest positive impact to the benchmark return for the first half of the year were Facebook, up 31.2%; Amazon, up 29.1%; and Apple, up 25.4%. The stocks with the largest negative impact were Verizon, down 14.4%; General Electric, down 13.1%; and Exxon Mobil, down 8.9%.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / CURRENT POSITIONING
The Portfolio is managed utilizing a full replication strategy versus the S&P 500 Index. This strategy seeks to replicate the performance of the Index by owning all of the components of the Index at their respective Index capitalization weights. The Portfolio is periodically rebalanced for compositional changes in the S&P 500 Index. Factors that impact tracking error include transaction costs, cash drag, securities lending, NAV rounding, contributions and withdrawals.

1 The Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index is an unmanaged index consisting of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-weighted index (stock price times number of shares outstanding) with each stock’s weight in the Index proportionate to its market value.
2 Inception dates of the Class A, Class B, Class D, Class E and Class G shares are 5/1/90, 1/2/01, 4/28/09, 5/1/01 and 11/12/14, respectively.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is MetLife Stock Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers five classes of shares: Class A, B, D, E and G shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the
BHFTII-20
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) adjustments. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No
BHFTII-21
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $110,199,974. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Investments in Derivative Instruments
Futures Contracts - The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts as a hedge, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Portfolio may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Portfolio must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities, which is returned when the Portfolio’s obligations under the contract have been
BHFTII-22
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Portfolio depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expires, the 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that the market for these instruments may be illiquid and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts are exchange-traded, the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. For OTC futures, the Portfolio’s ability to terminate the positions may be more limited than in the case of exchange-traded positions and may also involve the risk that securities dealers participating in such transactions would fail to meet their obligations to the Portfolio.
The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives held by the Portfolio at June 30, 2017 by category of risk exposure:
| | | | | | |
| | Liability Derivatives | |
Risk Exposure | | Statement of Assets & Liabilities Location | | Fair Value | |

| | | | | | |
| | | | |

4. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency, which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to Portfolio assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the Portfolio. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

For providing subadvisory services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed to pay MIA an investment subadvisory fee for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average daily net assets |
0.020% | | On the first $500 million |
0.015% | | Of the next $500 million |

0.005% | | On amounts over $2 billion |

On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described
BHFTII-24
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B, D, E, and G Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B, D, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B, D, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares, 0.10% per year for Class D Shares, 0.15% per year for Class E Shares, and 0.30% per year for Class G Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Transactions in Securities of Affiliated Issuers
A summary of the Portfolio’s transactions in the securities of Affiliated issuers during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is as follows:

Security Description | | Number of shares held at December 31, 2016 | | | Shares purchased | | | Shares sold | | | Number of shares held at June 30, 2017 | | | Realized Loss on shares sold | | | Income earned from affiliates during the period | | | Ending Value as of June 30, 2017 | |
MetLife, Inc. | | | 369,258 | | | | 0 | | | | (22,222 | ) | | | 347,036 | | | $ | (229,842 | ) | | $ | 290,339 | | | $ | 19,066,158 | |
8. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
9. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$130,333,642 | | $ | 114,006,177 | | | $ | 269,056,428 | | | $ | 268,543,180 | | | $ | 399,390,070 | | | $ | 382,549,357 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$128,199,537 | | $ | 183,362,044 | | | $ | 2,794,008,702 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 3,105,570,283 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
11. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed.

MetLife MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio
Managed By MetLife Investment Advisors, LLC
Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the MetLife MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio returned 14.26%, 14.20%, 14.26%, and 14.16%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index1, returned 13.81%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
During the first six months of 2017, equity markets continued to make new all-time highs, rallying on the strength of the global economy, strong corporate earnings, and optimism about potential changes to financial regulation and tax reform. The equity markets also reacted positively to U.S. lawmakers reaching an agreement on a spending bill, the outcome of the French Presidential elections, and better than expected macroeconomic data, including U.S. manufacturing, U.S. nonfarm payrolls, and U.S. consumer sentiment. Equity markets remained resilient despite the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) Conservative Party’s failure to win a majority in the U.K. snap election on June 8th and increased political risks in the U.S. after President Trump fired FBI Director Comey. Other factors that weighed on the equity markets included geopolitical tensions in Syria and North Korea, two rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), and the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) minutes showing members discussed the potential shrinking of the Fed balance sheet by as early as December.
During the first six months, the FOMC met four times and raised the target range for the Federal Funds Rate twice to 1.00% to 1.25%. The FOMC stated that the labor market had continued to strengthen and that economic activity had been rising moderately so far this year. The FOMC also stated that job gains had moderated but had been solid since the beginning of the year.
The U.S. dollar weakened during the six-month period, which positively impacted the U.S. investors’ MSCI EAFE Index return versus the local currency return by approximately 6.26%.
All twenty-one countries comprising the MSCI EAFE Index experienced positive returns for the first six months of 2017. Austria (0.2% beginning weight in the benchmark), up 33.2%, was the best performing country. Spain (3.1% beginning weight), up 24.1%, and Finland (1.0% beginning weight), up 23.2%, were the next best-performing countries. Norway (0.7% beginning weight), up 6.3%, and Ireland (0.5% beginning weight), up 7.9% were the worst-relative performing countries.
The stocks in the MSCI EAFE Index with the largest positive impact on the benchmark return for the first half of the year were Nestle, up 24.9%; Novartis, up 18.4%; and HSBC, up 18.2%. The stocks with the largest negative impact were BT Group, down 15.5%; Toyota, down 9.5%; and BP, down 5.4%
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio is managed utilizing a stratified sampling strategy versus the MSCI EAFE Index. This strategy seeks to replicate the performance of the Index by owning a subset of Index constituents and neutralizing exposures across countries. The Portfolio is periodically rebalanced for compositional changes in the MSCI EAFE Index. Factors that impact tracking error include sampling, fair value pricing, transaction costs, cash drag, securities lending, NAV rounding, contributions and withdrawals.

1 The MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.
2 Inception dates of the Class A, Class B, Class E and Class G shares are 11/9/98, 1/2/01, 5/1/01 and 4/28/09, respectively.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is MetLife MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers four classes of shares: Class A, B, E and G shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

MetLife MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”). These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $4,753,334. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
The following table provides a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligations by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturities of those transactions, which are accounted for as secured borrowings.

3. Investments in Derivative Instruments
Futures Contracts - The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts as a hedge, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Portfolio may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Portfolio must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities, which is returned when the Portfolio’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Portfolio depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expires, the 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that the market for these instruments may be illiquid and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts are exchange-traded, the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. For OTC futures, the Portfolio’s ability to terminate the positions may be more limited than in the case of exchange-traded positions and may also involve the risk that securities dealers participating in such transactions would fail to meet their obligations to the Portfolio.
The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives held by the Portfolio at June 30, 2017 by category of risk exposure:
| | | | | | |
| | Asset Derivatives | |
Risk Exposure | | Statement of Assets & Liabilities Location | | Fair Value | |
Equity | | Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts (a) | | $ | 77,800 | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
(a) | | Includes cumulative appreciation/depreciation of futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Investments. Only the current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
The following tables summarize the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, classified by derivative type and category of risk exposure, for the six months ended June 30, 2017:
| | | | |
Statement of Operations Location—Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Equity | |
Futures contracts | | $ | 2,211,431 | |
| | | | |
| |
Statement of Operations Location—Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | Equity | |
Futures contracts | | $ | 190,558 | |
| | | | |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the average notional par or face amount outstanding for each derivative type was as follows:
| | | | |
Derivative Description | | Average Notional Par or Face Amount‡ | |
Futures contracts long | | $ | 10,350 | |

4. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements
BHFTII-24
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency, which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to Portfolio assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the Portfolio. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
Foreign Investment Risk: The investments by the Portfolio in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Because securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies and may pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Portfolio. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolio to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
5. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 42,150,041 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 82,921,886 | |
6. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of 0.300% of average daily net assets. Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $1,599,571.
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with MetLife Investment Advisors, LLC (“MIA”) with respect to managing the Portfolio. For providing subadvisory services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed to pay MIA an investment subadvisory fee for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | | | |
% per annum | | | Average daily net assets |
| 0.050% | | | On the first $500 million |
| 0.040% | | | Of the next $500 million |
| 0.020% | | | On amounts over $1 billion |
Fees earned by MIA with respect to the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $230,611.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, the Adviser has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | | | |
% per annum | | | Average daily net assets |
| 0.005% | | | Over $500 million and under $1 billion |
| 0.010% | | | Of the next $1 billion |
| 0.015% | | | On amounts over $2 billion |
An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B, E, and G Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B, E, and G Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares, 0.15% per year for Class E Shares, and 0.30% per year for Class G Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the post-enactment accumulated short-term capital losses were $2,156,264, the post-enactment accumulated long-term capital losses were $9,562,971 and the pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards and expiration dates were as follows:

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio returned 5.02%, 4.90%, 4.96%, and 4.83%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index1, returned 4.99%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
During the first six months of 2017, equity markets continued to make new all-time highs, rallying on the strength of the global economy, strong corporate earnings, and optimism about potential changes to financial regulation and tax reform. The equity markets also reacted positively to U.S. lawmakers reaching an agreement on a spending bill, the outcome of the French Presidential elections, and better than expected macroeconomic data, including U.S. manufacturing, U.S. nonfarm payrolls, and U.S. consumer sentiment. Equity markets remained resilient despite the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) Conservative Party’s failure to win a majority in the U.K. snap election on June 8th and increased political risks in the U.S. after President Trump fired FBI Director Comey. Other factors that weighed on the equity markets included geopolitical tensions in Syria and North Korea, two rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), and the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) minutes showing members discussed the potential shrinking of the Fed balance sheet by as early as December.
During the first six months, the FOMC met four times and raised the target range for the Federal Funds Rate twice to 1.00% to 1.25%. The FOMC stated that the labor market had continued to strengthen and that economic activity had been rising moderately so far this year. The FOMC also stated that job gains had moderated but had been solid since the beginning of the year.
Seven of the nine sectors comprising the Russell 2000 Index experienced positive returns for the first six months of 2017. Health Care (12.1% beginning weight in the benchmark), up 22.6%, was the best performing sector and had the largest positive impact on the benchmark return. Technology (14.2% beginning weight), up 11.1%, and Utilities (4.5% beginning weight), up 7.7%, were the next best-performing sectors. Energy (3.5% beginning weight), down 26.7%, and Consumer Staples (2.6% begging weight), down 7.3% were the worst performing sectors.
The stocks with the largest positive impact on the benchmark return for the first half of the year were Universal Display, up 108.7%; Coherent, up 74.0%; and Chemours, up 63.2%.

The Portfolio is managed utilizing a stratified sampling strategy versus the Russell 2000 Index. This strategy seeks to replicate the performance of the Index by owning a subset of Index constituents and neutralizing exposures across sectors. The Portfolio is periodically rebalanced for compositional changes in the Russell 2000 Index. Factors that impact tracking error include sampling, transaction costs, cash drag, securities lending, NAV rounding, contributions and withdrawals.

1 The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged measure of performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index.
2 Inception dates of the Class A, Class B, Class E and Class G shares are 11/9/98, 1/2/01, 5/1/01 and 4/28/09, respectively.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers four classes of shares: Class A, B, E and G shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the
BHFTII-30
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to adjustments to prior period accumulated balances, passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”) and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) adjustments. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No
BHFTII-31
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $11,594,477. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
The following table provides a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligations by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturities of those transactions, which are accounted for as secured borrowings.

3. Investments in Derivative Instruments
Futures Contracts - The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts as a hedge, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Portfolio may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Portfolio must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities, which is returned when the Portfolio’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Portfolio depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expires, the 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that the market for these instruments may be illiquid and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts are exchange-traded, the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. For OTC futures, the Portfolio’s ability to terminate the positions may be more limited than in the case of exchange-traded positions and may also involve the risk that securities dealers participating in such transactions would fail to meet their obligations to the Portfolio.
The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives held by the Portfolio at June 30, 2017 by category of risk exposure:
| | | | | | |
| | Asset Derivatives | |
Risk Exposure | | Statement of Assets & Liabilities Location | | Fair Value | |
Equity | | Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts (a) | | $ | 129,504 | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
(a) | | Includes cumulative appreciation/depreciation of futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Investments. Only the current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
The following tables summarize the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, classified by derivative type and category of risk exposure, for the six months ended June 30, 2017:
| | | | |
Statement of Operations Location—Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Equity | |
Futures contracts | | $ | 429,464 | |
| | | | |
| |
Statement of Operations Location—Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | Equity | |
Futures contracts | | $ | 709,180 | |
| | | | |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the average notional par or face amount outstanding for each derivative type was as follows:
| | | | |
Derivative Description | | Average Notional Par or Face Amount‡ | |
Futures contracts long | | $ | 19,700 | |
| ‡ | Averages are based on activity levels during the period. |
4. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements
BHFTII-33
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency, which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to Portfolio assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the Portfolio. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
5. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 129,614,518 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 148,436,464 | |
6. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of 0.250% of average daily net assets.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B, E, and G Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B, E, and G Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares, 0.15% per year for Class E Shares, and 0.30% per year for Class G Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$10,436,636 | | $ | 10,291,201 | | | $ | 48,409,622 | | | $ | 51,124,952 | | | $ | 58,846,258 | | | $ | 61,416,153 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$10,863,900 | | $ | 38,380,735 | | | $ | 269,293,077 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 318,537,712 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B, E and F shares of the MFS Total Return Portfolio returned 6.38%, 6.25%, 6.30%, and 6.28%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmarks, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index1 and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2, returned 9.34% and 2.27%, respectively. A blend of the S&P 500 Index (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40%) returned 6.48%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
For the first time in many years, markets are experiencing synchronized global economic growth. The rebound in emerging markets (“EM”) economies has been more pronounced (despite the deceleration in Chinese growth at the end of the first half of 2017), helped by some larger economies (i.e., Brazil and Russia) emerging from recessions. At the same time, developed market (“DM”) economies continued to grow at or above potential. Market confidence increased in the U.S. after the presidential elections in November in anticipation of lower taxes, a lighter regulatory burden and increased infrastructure spending, boosting U.S. equities and corporate bond performance. While global inflation faded during the period as commodity prices, particularly oil, leveled off or declined, global growth remained relatively resilient. As a result, there have been more tightening signals and actions by DM central banks. The U.S. Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 25 basis points at the end of the period, bringing the total number of quarter-percent hikes in the federal funds rate to four since December 2015. The European Central Bank appears set on announcing Quantitative Easing tapering in the fall of 2017. The Bank of England may also begin reducing monetary accommodation. Markets have been comforted (along with central banks) by the decline in fears of a populist wave in Europe after establishment candidates won the Dutch and French elections. European growth has reflected the more constructive political economic backdrop.
The headwind of a stronger U.S. dollar faded during the period while U.S. consumer spending held up well amid a modest increase in real wages and relatively low gasoline prices. Demand for autos tapered off from near-record territory at the end of the period, while the housing market continued its recovery amid relatively low mortgage rates and tight inventories. Global trade, which was sluggish early in the period, showed signs of improvement, a positive indicator of global economic activity and prospects. Receding fears that President Trump would follow through on various campaign threats and promises that were judged to be detrimental to EM, helped EM economies resume their upward trajectory, powered by strong inflows throughout the first half of 2017.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio slightly underperformed its blended index during the first half of 2017. Within the equity portion of the Portfolio, a combination of an underweight allocation and weak stock selection in the Information Technology sector held back performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. Within this sector, underweight positions in computer and personal electronics maker Apple, internet search giant Alphabet and social network services provider Facebook detracted from relative returns. Additionally, not owning shares of computer graphics processors maker NVIDIA also hurt relative performance.
Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector also weakened relative results. Here, an underweight position in internet retailer Amazon.com, overweight position in retail giant Target and not owning shares of restaurant chain McDonald’s hindered relative returns.
Elsewhere, overweight positions in financial services firm Goldman Sachs and telecommunications company Verizon Communications weighed on relative performance. Additionally, not owning shares of aerospace company Boeing also detracted from relative results.
Within the fixed income portion of the Portfolio, security selection within the Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”) sector weakened relative returns. Additionally, the Portfolio’s lesser relative exposure to sovereign debt also held back relative returns.
Within the equity portion of the Portfolio, strong stock selection in the Industrials sector contributed to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. Within this sector, not owning shares of diversified industrial conglomerate General Electric, and holding a position in residential and commercial building materials manufacturer Owens Corning, aided relative performance.
Strong security selection in the Consumer Staples sector also supported relative results led by an overweight position in tobacco company Philip Morris International and holdings of global food company Nestle (France).
Individual stocks that benefited relative returns included underweight positions in telecommunications company AT&T and integrated oil and gas company Exxon Mobil, and overweight positions in medical products makers Abbott Laboratories and Medtronic. Additionally, not owning shares of wireless communications software company QUALCOMM and holding a position in pharmaceutical company Bayer (Germany) also aided relative performance.
Within the fixed income portion of the Portfolio, a greater-than-benchmark exposure to the corporate financial sector, and a lesser-than-benchmark exposure to U.S. Treasuries boosted performance relative to the index. Additionally, strong security selection in the Industrials sector also aided relative results.
Over the trailing six months ending June 30, 2017, the equity portion of the Portfolio increased its exposure to Health Care, Industrial and Information Technology while it decreased its exposure to Telecommunications Services, Consumer Discretionary and Energy sectors. The Portfolio had overweight positions in Financials, Industrials

and Consumer Staples and underweight positions in Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Real Estate relative to the S&P 500 Index.
Over the trailing six months ending June 30, 2017, the fixed income portion of the Portfolio had overweight positions in collateralized debt obligations, CMBS and corporate bonds. The Portfolio had underweight positions in International, Government and Agency bonds.

1 The Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index is an unmanaged index consisting of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-weighted index (stock price times number of shares outstanding) with each stock’s weight in the Index proportionate to its market value.
2 The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Total Return Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is MFS Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers four classes of shares: Class A, B, E and F shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from pricing services selected by the Adviser pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board. These securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as
BHFTII-23
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Total Return Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (��NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their closing prices as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to amortization of debt securities, paydown gain/loss reclasses, foreign currency transactions, real estate investment trust (“REIT”) adjustments, convertible preferred stock, partnership transactions, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and broker commission recapture. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its
BHFTII-24
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Total Return Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls - The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sells to-be-announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. For the duration of the transaction, or roll period, the Portfolio foregoes principal (including prepayments of principal) and interest paid on the securities sold. Dollar rolls are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions; gain or loss is recognized at the commencement of the term of the dollar roll and each time the mortgage-backed security is rolled.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Portfolio is required to repurchase or reacquire may be less than the agreed-upon repurchase price of those securities and that the investment performance of securities purchased with proceeds from these transactions does not exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss that would have been realized on the securities transferred or sold, as applicable, as part of the treasury or mortgage dollar roll.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities - The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities may include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBS”), and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by or payable from, mortgage loans on real property or other receivables. The value of some mortgage- or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
In one type of SMBS, one class receives all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security until maturity. These adjustments are netted against payments received for the IOs and the net amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. Details of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities held by the Portfolio are included in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.
The Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be negatively impacted by increased volatility of market prices and periods of illiquidity.
TBA Purchase & Forward Sale Commitments - The Portfolio may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to the settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Portfolio’s other assets. TBA forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements”.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Securities - The Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase commitment is made. The Portfolio may purchase securities under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Portfolio may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.
Upon making a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will hold liquid assets in a segregated account with the Portfolio’s custodian, or set aside liquid assets in the Portfolio’s records, worth at least the equivalent of the amount due. The liquid assets will be monitored on a daily basis and adjusted as necessary to maintain the necessary value.
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Total Return Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $29,246,110. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
The following table provides a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligations by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturities of those transactions, which are accounted for as secured borrowings.

3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTA”) govern the considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain forward settling transactions, such as TBA securities and delayed-delivery or secured borrowings transactions by and between the Portfolio and select counterparties. The MSFTA maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$2,406,578 | | | 0.600 | % | | Of the first $250 million |
| | | 0.550 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.500 | % | | On amounts in excess of $750 million |
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Massachusetts Financial Services Company is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B, E, and F Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B, E, and F Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B, E, and F Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B, E, and F Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares, 0.15% per year for Class E Shares, and 0.20% per year for Class F Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$23,651,455 | | $ | 22,998,295 | | | $ | 36,096,955 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 59,748,410 | | | $ | 22,998,295 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$22,482,035 | | $ | 43,637,991 | | | $ | 108,718,338 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 174,838,364 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B, D and E shares of the MFS Value Portfolio returned 9.27%, 9.05%, 9.20%, and 9.17%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index1, returned 4.66%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
For the first time in many years, markets are experiencing synchronized global economic growth. The rebound in emerging markets (“EM”) economies has been more pronounced (despite the deceleration in Chinese growth at the end of the first half of 2017), helped by some larger economies (i.e., Brazil and Russia) emerging from recessions. At the same time, developed market (“DM”) economies continued to grow at or above potential. Market confidence increased in the U.S. after the presidential elections in November in anticipation of lower taxes, a lighter regulatory burden and increased infrastructure spending, boosting U.S. equities and corporate bond performance. While global inflation faded during the period as commodity prices, particularly oil, leveled off or declined, global growth remained relatively resilient. As a result, there have been more tightening signals and actions by DM central banks. The U.S. Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 25 basis points at the end of the period, bringing the total number of quarter-percent hikes in the federal funds rate to four since December 2015. The European Central Bank appears set on announcing Quantitative Easing (“QE”) tapering in the fall of 2017. The Bank of England may also begin reducing monetary accommodation. Markets have been comforted (along with central banks) by the decline in fears of a populist wave in Europe after establishment candidates won the Dutch and French elections. European growth has reflected the more constructive political economic backdrop.
The headwind of a stronger U.S. dollar faded during the period while U.S. consumer spending held up well amid a modest increase in real wages and relatively low gasoline prices. Demand for autos tapered off from near-record territory at the end of the period, while the housing market continued its recovery amid relatively low mortgage rates and tight inventories. Global trade, which was sluggish early in the period, showed signs of improvement, a positive indicator of global economic activity and prospects. Receding fears that President Trump would follow through on various campaign threats and promises that were judged to be detrimental to EM, helped EM markets resume their upward trajectory, powered by strong inflows throughout the first half of 2017.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the first half of 2017. An underweight allocation to the Energy sector aided performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index. Here, an underweight position in integrated oil and gas company Exxon Mobil boosted relative results.
The combination of strong stock selection and an overweight allocation to the Industrials sector also helped relative results. Within this sector, not owning diversified industrial conglomerate General Electric and holdings of diversified technology company 3M boosted relative performance.
Individual stocks that benefited relative returns included overweight holdings of tobacco company Philip Morris International and medical device maker Medtronic. Avoiding poor-performing telecommunication services provider AT&T furthered supported relative performance. The Portfolio’s holdings of global food company Nestle, consulting firm AON, automotive components manufacturer Delphi Automotive and chemical company PPG Industries also benefited relative performance.
An underweight allocation to the strong-performing Information Technology sector held back relative results. Here, underweighting enterprise software products maker Oracle and not owning strong-performing computer and personal electronics maker Apple and online information portal Yahoo hurt relative performance.
Elsewhere, individual stocks that detracted from relative performance included the Portfolio’s overweight holdings of financial services firm Goldman Sachs and oil field services company Schlumberger and not holding railroad company CSX and financial services firm Bank of America. The Portfolio’s ownership in shares of both global food company General Mills and auto parts retailer Advance Auto Parts also dampened relative performance. Additionally, the Portfolio’s holdings of ground delivery service company United Parcel Service hurt relative performance.
Over the trailing six month period ending June 30, 2017, the three best-performing sectors at the end of last year—Financials, Telecom and Energy—have been among the worst performers through the first half of 2017. The S&P 500 Index has delivered a positive return in each of the first six months of this year—something that hasn’t occurred in more than two decades. Although the Value investment style has underperformed both Core and Growth thus far this year, the absolute level of returns—up nearly 5% in U.S. Dollar terms—remains robust.
At the end of the period, the Portfolio was overweight to Industrials, Financials, and Consumer Staples, while being most underweight Energy, Real Estate, and Utilities. Relative sector positioning reflects the investment team’s bottom up stock selection process rather than a reflection of any top-down macroeconomic view.

1 The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged measure of the largest capitalized U.S. domiciled companies with a less than average growth orientation. Companies in this Index generally have a low price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratio, higher dividend yields and lower forecasted growth values.

Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is MFS Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers four classes of shares: Class A, B, D and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, distribution re-designations, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and broker commission recapture. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $15,673,824. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.100% | | On the first $200 million |
0.125% | | On the next $50 million |
0.075% | | On the next $1.25 billion |
0.200% | | On the next $1 billion |
0.175% | | On the next $2.5 billion |
0.150% | | On amounts in excess of $5 billion |
An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B, D, and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B, D, and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B, D, and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B, D, and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares, 0.10% per year for Class D Shares, and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |

As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$65,806,659 | | $ | 196,886,312 | | | $ | 788,798,842 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,051,491,813 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio returned 5.07%, 4.95%, and 5.02%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index1, returned 0.54%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Despite periods of volatility, the U.S. stock market generated strong results during the reporting period. Investor sentiment was buoyed by solid corporate profits and improving global fundamentals. These factors eclipsed concerns whether the Trump administration’s growth initiatives would be scaled back or delayed. In addition, the market overcame a number of potential headwinds, including two interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve that occurred in March and June and several geopolitical events. The overall U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, gained 9.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This marked the S&P 500’s best first half advance since 2013. Small-cap stocks lagged the overall stock market, as the Russell 2000 Index gained 4.99% during the reporting period. There was a significant dispersion between small-cap growth and value stocks, as the Russell 2000 Growth and Value Indexes returned 9.97% and 0.54%, respectively.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index during the reporting period. Both sector allocation and stock selection contributed to the Portfolio’s relative performance. An overweight allocation to Health Care and an underweight allocation to Energy were the largest contributors to relative performance. Within the Health Care sector, the Portfolio’s overweight to health care equipment & supplies names was the most beneficial for results. An underweight to Energy was rewarded as the sector meaningfully lagged the Index. On the downside, a lack of exposure to Utilities detracted from results, as the sector outperformed on the back of falling long-term interest rates. Further, an overweight to Consumer Staples was a headwind for results over the period. We believe investors are becoming increasingly concerned with the long-term outlook for certain consumer staple companies, particularly packaged food companies, as consumer tastes have shifted away from processed foods and towards perishable items like fruits and vegetables.
The Portfolio’s stock selection in the Consumer Staples, Information Technology (“IT”) and Energy sectors were the most additive to relative performance. In the Consumer Staples sector, the Portfolio’s exposure to household product companies generated the strongest relative returns. In the IT sector, the Portfolio’s software and electronic equipment instruments & components holdings aided performance. Within the Energy sector, the Portfolio’s energy equipment & services holdings were the top performers. Conversely, stock selection in Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors were the only two sectors that detracted from performance over the reporting period. In our view, the Consumer Discretionary sector has undergone tremendous change during the past few years, most notably the pressures that have stemmed from the explosion of e-commerce trends (the “Amazon effect”). As a result, we have positioned the Portfolio to have limited exposure to companies that either directly or indirectly competed with Amazon or other e-commerce models. In the Financials sector, the Portfolio’s holdings in the banks and insurance industries performed poorly.
At the individual stock level, IDEXX Laboratories, MarketAxess Holdings, and Toro produced strong returns over the period. IDEXX Laboratories is the leading provider of diagnostic instruments and consumables to veterinarians. The company benefited from strong secular demand in companion health diagnostics, leveraged its industry-leading product innovation and sales force to increase market share, and was a strong capital allocator. The stock outperformed during the period due to strong earnings results. MarketAxess Holdings operates the dominant electronic trading platform for institutional corporate bond trading. It is a beneficiary of e-trading adoption, which has grown steadily but we believe is still relatively underpenetrated. The company has the broadest network of dealer and buy-side clients, strong organic growth, high incremental operating margins, low capital intensity and a debt-free balance sheet. The stock performed well during the period due to continued strong operating results which meaningfully drove up earnings estimates. Toro is a leading global provider of outdoor equipment for turf, snow, golf, irrigation and construction applications. In our view, Toro is a high quality, cash generative company with strong brands, superior innovation, strong customer intimacy and history of returning cash to shareholders. The stock outperformed during the period as the company delivered stronger than expected earnings results and raised its fiscal year 2017 outlook.
A number of individual holdings were negative for performance due to company-specific issues. These included Tractor Supply Company, Bank of the Ozarks and Manhattan Associates. Tractor Supply Company operates retail stores focused on supplying the lifestyle needs of recreational farmers and ranchers. In our view, the retailer operates with limited e-commerce risk. The stock performed poorly, as the company delivered disappointing results due to weather-related weakness in specific geographic markets. Bank of the Ozarks underwrites complex real estate loans utilizing a highly disciplined process for screening, structuring and servicing these loans. The strategy has contributed to a long, consistent track record of above-average growth and profitability and low credit losses. The stock underperformed in the period due to renewed market concerns about the economy and its implications for faster-growing commercial real estate. We continued to believe the company is relatively well positioned in terms of growth, operating returns and credit risk due to its differentiated focus and highly rigorous approach to risk management. Manhattan Associates provides software solutions that enable the efficient movement of goods through the supply chain. During the first half of 2017, Manhattan Associates reported respectable results. However, it provided guidance that implied a slowdown in its

business. Additionally, concerns regarding the health of its retail customers weighed heavily on its shares during the period.
In terms of Portfolio changes, we made a number of adjustments on the margin throughout the reporting period; however the changes resulted in no significant changes to the Portfolio’s sector positioning. As of June 30, 2017, we continued to maintain a diversified portfolio that emphasizes companies that consistently generate solid free cash flow, are profitable, and maintain conservative balance sheets.

1 The Russell 2000 Value Index is an unmanaged measure of performance of those Russell 2000 companies that have lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to broker commission recapture, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and foreign currency transactions. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $11,966,373, which is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency, which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to Portfolio assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the Portfolio. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$4,775,374 | | | 0.850 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.800 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.750 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Neuberger Berman Management LLC (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | | | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets | |
0.025% | | First $ | 500 million | |
An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of
BHFTII-15
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$ | 4,406,203 | | | $ | 4,567,514 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,406,203 | | | $ | 4,567,514 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$4,001,931 | | $ | 95,526,724 | | | $ | 399,486,963 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 499,015,618 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Portfolio utilized capital loss carryforwards of $42,434,976.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio returned 19.60%, 19.41%, and 19.50%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index1, returned 13.99%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
U.S. stocks rose in the first half of 2017, led by large cap and growth stocks, amid continued hopes for tax cuts and increased infrastructure spending—although neither has come to fruition yet. Strong first-quarter corporate earnings were supportive of equity markets, which were largely unfazed by lackluster first-quarter economic growth, two interest rate increases from the U.S. Federal Reserve, President Trump’s domestic political controversies, and increased geopolitical tensions. Stocks in developed non-U.S. markets strongly outperformed U.S. shares in dollar terms, as returns to U.S. investors were boosted by stronger non-U.S. currencies. Emerging market equities outperformed developed markets, helped by stronger currencies and an improving growth backdrop. Within the large-cap growth space, Information Technology (“IT”) led returns, followed by Health Care, while Energy and Telecommunication Services both ended sharply down.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. Overall, stock selection accounted for most of the relative outperformance, and sector allocation also helped.
IT was the leading contributor, due to stock selection and a beneficial overweight during the period when the sector led the benchmark. IT holdings Alibaba Group Holding (China), PayPal Holdings, and Tencent Holdings (China) all boosted returns during the period. Alibaba Group Holding reported a revenue outlook that significantly exceeded expectations, driven by the strength of its core Chinese e-commerce business as well as its increasingly successful cloud-computing ventures. PayPal benefited from higher-than-expected payment volume and active account levels, and the company’s shift toward a mobile-first strategy appears promising. Shares of Tencent, which operates the dominant social media platform in China, rose in response to higher-than-expected revenue growth in the company’s gaming and cloud-computing businesses. IT initially lagged in the early portion of the period, as investors cashed out their holdings in order to invest in more rapidly rising stocks. Over time, however, market participants came to realize that the anticipated policy changes that were driving the market rally would take time to implement and they began looking more toward company-specific fundamentals. We remain favorable in this sector because we believe many IT names are poised for strong performance regardless of political circumstances.
In Consumer Discretionary, the Portfolio’s stock holdings also outpaced their benchmark peers, most notably Amazon.com and Tesla. Amazon.com reported better-than-expected topline and bottom-line results, owing in part to the expansion of its fulfillment and logistics networks, as well as the success of its cloud-computing business. Shares of Tesla continued to trade high as the firm remains on track to begin production of the Model 3, its first mass-market car, in July. The Portfolio’s overweight allocation to Consumer Discretionary reflects strong secular trends in retail spending and evolving dynamics in consumer services. We are especially focused on companies with innovative business models in e-commerce and travel and leisure services.
An underweight in Consumer Staples added relative value, as did the Portfolio’s stock positioning within the sector. Philip Morris International was a key holding here, as its new smokeless cigarette, which promises to reduce the risk of smoking, generated strong sales in select markets. The Portfolio has consistently held a low level of exposure to this sector, which is facing low growth and valuations that we view as unrealistically high. While Consumer Staples names were attractive to investors seeking yield during the recent period of extremely low interest rates, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to raise rates has reduced interest in the sector.
Stock selection in Industrials and Business Services also added relative value. Here, we focus on high-quality companies that can benefit from long-term secular, rather than cyclical, growth trends.
At period end, the Portfolio’s greatest overweight was in the Health Care sector. The Portfolio was also overweight in Financials, IT, Consumer Discretionary, Utilities, and Real Estate. The Portfolio’s most significant underweight allocation was to Consumer Staples. It was also underweight in Materials, Industrials and Business Services, Energy, and Telecommunication Services. Portfolio positioning decisions are driven primarily by bottom-up stock selection informed by rigorous internal research at the individual company level.

1 The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged measure of performance of the largest capitalized U.S. companies, within the Russell 1000 companies, that have higher price-to-book ratios and forecasted growth values.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), adjustments to prior period accumulated balances and broker commission recapture. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $89,381,967. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.

T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 541,730,267 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 843,980,577 | |
The Portfolio engaged in security transactions with other accounts managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., the subadviser to the Portfolio, that amounted to $2,031,466 in purchases and $914,738 in sales of investments, which are included above, and resulted in realized gains of $37,315.
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisersis the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Management Fee Waivers - Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period June 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows provided the Portfolio’s assets exceed $1 billion:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.080% | | On the first $50 million |
0.050% | | On the next $50 million |
0.060% | | On the next $900 million |
0.035% | | On the next $500 million |
0.050% | | On amounts in excess of $1.5 billion |
Prior to June 1, 2017 Brighthouse Investment Advisers had agreed to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows
provided the Portfolio’s assets exceed $1 billion:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.030% | | On the first $50 million |
0.010% | | On amounts between $100 million and $1.5 billion |
0.025% | | On amounts in excess of $1.5 billion |
Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $255,583 and are included in the total amounts shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Effective February 17, 2005, T. Rowe Price agreed to a voluntary subadvisory fee waiver that applies if (i) assets under management by T. Rowe Price for the Trust and Brighthouse Funds Trust I (“BHFTI), an affiliate of the Trust, in the aggregate, exceed $750,000,000, (ii) T. Rowe Price subadvises three or more portfolios of the Trust and BHFTI in the aggregate, and (iii) at least one of those portfolios is a large cap domestic equity portfolio.
If the aforementioned conditions are met, T. Rowe Price will waive its subadvisory fee paid by Brighthouse Investment Advisers by 5% for combined Trust and BHFTI average daily net assets over $750,000,000, 7.5% for the next $1,500,000,000 of combined assets, and 10% for amounts over $3,000,000,000. Brighthouse Investment Advisers has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee for the Portfolio by the amount waived (if any) by T. Rowe Price for the Portfolio pursuant to this voluntary subadvisory fee waiver. Because these fee waivers are voluntary, and not contractual, they may be discontinued by T. Rowe Price and Brighthouse Investment Advisers at any time. Amounts voluntarily waived by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $320,619 and are included in the total amounts shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee.

Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$883,202 | | $ | 33,229,220 | | | $ | 277,618,664 | | | $ | 378,119,169 | | | $ | 278,501,866 | | | $ | 411,348,389 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$4,911,084 | | $ | 144,646,878 | | | $ | 473,965,370 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 623,523,332 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio returned 11.04%, 10.91%, 11.00%, and 10.89%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI U.S. Small Cap Growth Index1, returned 8.81%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
U.S. stocks rose in the first half of 2017, led by large cap and growth stocks, amid continued hopes for tax cuts and increased infrastructure spending—although neither has come to fruition yet. Strong first-quarter corporate earnings were supportive of equities markets, which were largely unfazed by lackluster first-quarter economic growth, two interest rate increases from the U.S. Federal Reserve, President Trump’s domestic political controversies, and increased geopolitical tensions. Within the MSCI U.S. Small Cap Growth Index, Health Care was by far the strongest performer, while Telecommunication Services and Utilities also contributed. Energy ended in negative territory for the period.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW/PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed the MSCI U.S. Small Cap Growth Index for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Broadly speaking, stock selection accounted for the majority of outperformance.
Stock selection in Information Technology (“IT”) added relative value, most notably the Portfolio’s positions in Coherent and Pegasystems. Shares of Coherent, a leading manufacturer of specialty laser diodes and equipment, gained as robust flat panel display revenues and a higher mix of excimer laser annealing products drove margin expansion. Shares of Pegasystems, a company that provides software that allows businesses to build, deploy, and maintain enterprise applications, also had gains over the period, after the closing of several large deals and a significant shift in mix toward perpetual licensing which resulted in increased recurring revenue.
Consumer Discretionary was another area of relative strength, due to stock selection. Dominos Pizza shares gained in response to stronger-than-expected domestic same-store sales growth and record net store growth. Another holding that gained during the period was Vail Resorts, which operates some of the most visited ski resorts in North America. Shares traded up with reporting of stronger-than-expected total lift revenue, driven by growth in visitation, an effective ticket price, a dividend increase, and the acquisition of Stowe Mountain Resort in Vermont.
Stock selection and a relative underweight allocation in Energy boosted relative returns, as Energy was the worst-performing sector in the Index during the six month period. In Real Estate, stock selection drove relative performance, including Equity LifeStyle Properties, which owns and operates a portfolio of resort communities and lifestyle-oriented properties. Increases in manufactured housing rental rate and occupancy drove better-than-expected net operating income, lifting shares.
On the negative side, stock choices in Health Care detracted from relative results. U.S. Physical Therapy and Depomed were two holdings that hurt performance in this industry. Consumer Staples was another sector that detracted from relative performance, due to stock selections such as Casey’s General Stores and Boston Beer.
While our stock selection is primarily based on a quantitative model, we take into consideration the fundamental research conducted by T. Rowe Price’s equity analysts. In constructing the Portfolio, our sector weights are usually in line with those of the MSCI U.S. Small Cap Growth Index, but we will occasionally overweight or underweight certain sectors based on our analysis. At the end of the period, the Portfolio’s sector allocations were generally in line with the benchmark across many sectors. The Portfolio finished the period slightly overweight the benchmark in Health Care, IT, and Consumer Discretionary and underweight the benchmark in Materials, Telecommunication Services, and Energy.

Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers four classes of shares: Class A, B, E and G shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances, real estate investment trust (“REIT”) adjustments and broker commission recapture. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $28,040,270. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
BHFTII-17
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 174,888,249 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 193,212,688 | |
The Portfolio engaged in security transactions with other accounts managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., the subadviser to the Portfolio, that amounted to $65,574 in sales of investments, which are included above, and resulted in realized losses of $186,923.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Portfolio engaged in security transactions with other affiliated Portfolios. These amounted to $10,387,524 in purchases of investments, which are included above.
5. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$3,131,971 | | | 0.550 | % | | Of the first $100 million |
| | | 0.500 | % | | Of the next $300 million |
| | | 0.450 | % | | On amounts in excess of $400 million |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - Effective February 17, 2005, T. Rowe Price agreed to a voluntary subadvisory fee waiver that applies if (i) assets under management by T. Rowe Price for the Trust and Brighthouse Funds Trust I (“BHFTI”), an affiliate of the Trust, in the aggregate, exceed $750,000,000, (ii) T. Rowe Price subadvises three or more portfolios of the Trust and BHFTI in the aggregate, and (iii) at least one of those portfolios is a large cap domestic equity portfolio.
BHFTII-18
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
If the aforementioned conditions are met, T. Rowe Price will waive its subadvisory fee paid by Brighthouse Investment Advisers by 5% for combined Trust and BHFTI average daily net assets over $750,000,000, 7.5% for the next $1,500,000,000 of combined assets, and 10% for amounts over $3,000,000,000. Brighthouse Investment Advisers has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee for the Portfolio by the amount waived (if any) by T. Rowe Price for the Portfolio pursuant to this voluntary subadvisory fee waiver. Because these fee waivers are voluntary, and not contractual, they may be discontinued by T. Rowe Price and Brighthouse Investment Advisers at any time. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B, E, and G Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B, E, and G Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B, E, and G Shares of the Portfolio. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares, 0.15% per year for Class E Shares, and 0.30% per year for Class G Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$3,288,141 | | $ | 82,589,259 | | | $ | 281,773,471 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 367,650,871 | |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no post-enactment accumulated capital losses and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A and B shares of the Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio returned -16.01% and -16.13%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) North American Natural Resources Index1, returned -11.04%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
In addition to low crude oil prices, we believe that continuing dysfunction in Washington, D.C. had a significant impact on the market in the first six months of the year. Although 2016 drew to a close with the deflation/inflation “conversation” having shifted from being strongly deflationary to including a degree of valid concern about the prospect of forthcoming inflation, the general feeling of optimism at the start of 2017, especially with regard to both inflation expectations and infrastructure spending, faded rapidly.
Energy
We continue to believe that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries November meeting, where the group agreed to cut oil production to 32.5 million barrels per day, can be described as “historic”. The outcome has, though, been somewhat disappointing up to this point. However, we still think that the production quota system, combined with continued resilient demand growth, will bring the market back into balance.
Metals and Mining
We believe that corporate restructuring in the global mining sector has been successful. Balance sheets have been repaired and operating costs have been reduced. Signs continue to become apparent that a number of companies are now starting to focus on creating sustainable shareholder value through growth and/or dividends.
Base metals remained little changed over the course of the six month period, whether following either the path of a roller coaster or executing a big “U”. Copper was, however, positively impacted by both continuing lower ore quality and some fairly extensive labor disruptions. While zinc, too, was up a little over the period under review, lead remained fairly flat.
The performance of gold was mixed over the first half of 2017. While the price of the metal rebounded at the beginning of the year, during the second quarter it remained range-bound. In the second quarter it was impacted by both the hawkish talk of central banks and a soft U.S. dollar.
Agriculture
While healthy South American crops of both soy and corn limited any upward movement in prices, this was positive for proteins. The nitrogen fertilizers market benefited from the fact that, contrary to expectations, corn acreages increased at the expense of soy.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
Several key aspects that contributed to the underperformance of the Portfolio relative to the S&P North American Natural Resources Index were overweight positions and underperformance in the oil & gas exploration & production and oil & gas drilling sub-industries.
The three weakest-contributing sub-industries to the Portfolio’s performance relative to the benchmark were oil & gas exploration & production, oil & gas drilling, and diversified metals & mining.
The Portfolio’s three weakest-contributing companies were Nabors Industries, an oil & gas drilling company, and PDC Energy and Cimarex, both oil & gas exploration & production companies. All suffered from the decline in crude oil prices.
The three strongest positive-contributing sub-industries to the Portfolio’s performance relative to the benchmark were an underweight to integrated oil & gas, oil & gas storage & transportation, and electrical components & equipment (solar). The Portfolio had no exposure to the integrated oil & gas sub-industry during the reporting period.
The Portfolio’s three strongest positive-contributing individual positions were: forest products company Louisiana-Pacific which benefited, in particular, from strong prices for oriented strand board (OSB); copper producing company Glencore, which benefited from commodity price support, good earnings, and continued, and expanded, strategic structural optimization; and gold mining company Kinross Gold which benefited from its continued focus on cost reduction and operational performance that met expectations.
The Portfolio’s largest purchases during the reporting period were in the gold and oil & gas equipment & services sub-industries, establishing new positions in IAMGOLD, ProPetro Holding, and Forum Energy Technologies, respectively. The Portfolio’s largest sales were in the oil & gas exploration & production sub-industry, exiting positions in Hess, SM Energy, and Gulfport Energy.
On both an absolute and relative basis, the Portfolio decreased sizably its weighting to the oil & gas exploration & production sub-industry. It also reduced its weighting to the oil & gas drilling sub-industry on both an absolute and relative basis. On both an absolute and relative basis, the Portfolio increased its weightings to the gold and diversified metals & mining sub-industries.
As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio’s most substantially overweight position relative to the benchmark was in the diversified metals & mining sub-industry. It also had sizeable overweight positions in the gold and oil & gas drilling sub-industries.
As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no allocation to the integrated oil & gas sub-industry, making that a substantially underweight position relative to the benchmark. As of the same date, the Portfolio’s next most underweight position was in the oil & gas storage &

Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, Metlife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers two classes of shares: Class A and B shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946- Financial Services- Investment Companies and Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and broker commission recapture. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with State Street Global Markets (“SSGM”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to SSGM in return for a recapture credit. SSGM issues a cash rebate to the Portfolio. Amounts paid to the Portfolio are shown separately as broker commission recapture on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Additionally, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of the net ratio of expenses to average net assets presented in the Financial Highlights for each share class.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $31,803,055. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2017, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
3. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Natural Resource and Foreign Investment Risk: The Portfolio may concentrate its investments in companies which are significantly engaged in the exploration, development, production and distribution of gold and other natural resources such as strategic and other metals, minerals, forest products, oil, natural gas and coal and by investing in gold bullion and coins. Since the Portfolio may concentrate its investments, it may be subject to greater risks and market fluctuations than other more diversified portfolios. The production and marketing of gold and other natural resources may be affected by actions and changes in governments. In addition, gold and natural resources may be cyclical in nature. In addition, the investments by the Portfolio in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies and pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Portfolio. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolio to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, the Adviser has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | | | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets | |
0.025% | | On amounts over $ | 500 million and under $1 billion | |
An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A and B Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
7. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$902,255 | | $ | — | | | $ | 119,006,181 | | | $ | (239,900,595 | ) | | $ | (119,992,159 | ) |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had post-enactment accumulated short-term capital losses of $17,058,465, post-enactment accumulated long-term capital losses of $222,842,130, and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
9. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio returned 5.35%, 5.20%, and 5.26%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1, returned 2.27%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Looking at the U.S. economy, the Commerce Department reported that first quarter 2017 gross domestic product (GDP) growth was 1.4%. In contrast, the economy expanded 2.1% during the fourth quarter of 2016. The deceleration in growth reflected downturns in private inventory investment and personal consumption expenditures, along with more modest state and local government spending.
Turning to the global economy, in its April 2017 World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”) said, “Global economic activity is picking up with a long-awaited cyclical recovery in investment, manufacturing, and trade….Stronger activity and expectations of more robust global demand, coupled with agreed restrictions on oil supply, have helped commodity prices recover from their troughs in early 2016….If confidence and market sentiment remain strong, short-term growth could indeed surprise on the upside. But these positive developments should not distract from binding structural impediments to a stronger recovery and a balance of risks that remains tilted to the downside, especially over the medium term.” From a regional perspective, the IMF estimates 2017 growth in the Eurozone will be 1.7%, the same as in 2016. Japan’s economy is expected to expand 1.2% in 2017, compared to 1.0% in 2016. Elsewhere, the IMF projects that overall growth in emerging market countries will accelerate to 4.5% in 2017, versus 4.1% in 2016.
As widely expected, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised rates for a second time this year at its meeting in June. This was the Fed’s fourth rate hike since December 2015. The Fed also said that it planned to begin reducing its balance sheet, saying “The Committee is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities and of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. The Committee currently expects to begin implementing a balance sheet normalization program this year, provided that the economy evolves broadly as anticipated.”
While the Fed continued to slowly normalize monetary policy, the other major central banks maintained their accommodative monetary policies during the second quarter. In particular, the European Central Bank, Bank of England, Bank of Japan and People’s Bank of China kept rates on hold at low levels during the quarter. However, there were indications from certain central banks that they may begin to scale back their stimulus programs if growth further improved and inflation picked up.
After experiencing a sharp, steepening move higher post-U.S. presidential election through the first quarter of the year, the U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened during the second quarter on waning U.S. growth and inflation expectations. During the second quarter as a whole, the overall U.S. bond market generated a modest gain and spread sector (non-U.S. Treasuries) total returns generally outperformed equal duration Treasuries.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio outperformed its benchmark for the six month reporting period ending June 30, 2017. The main contributor to performance was the Portfolio’s allocation to Investment Grade Credit, Non-Agency securities and Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”)—all of which continued to benefit from strong investor flows. Emerging markets (“EM”) debt also contributed positively to performance as waning concerns over protectionist policies by the Trump administration sparked a sharp rally across the EM complex. Tactical duration positioning across the U.S. and the Eurozone also contributed to performance primarily due to receding expectations of massive fiscal stimulus in the U.S. and waning political risk following the Dutch and French elections. With respect to currency strategies, a long position in the euro (on expectations of a pick-up in regional growth) and select EM currencies, such as the Brazilian real and Indian rupee, and a short position in the Japanese yen, all contributed positively to performance.
Interest rate options, futures, and swaps were used for managing duration and curve positioning and contributed to performance during the first half of the year. Foreign exchange forwards and options were used to manage currency exposures, which detracted from performance when viewed in isolation. In aggregate, the Portfolio’s total derivative exposure detracted slightly from performance during the period.
We remain optimistic that global growth of around 3% is sustainable while recognizing that high debt loads and other headwinds, including low productivity and aging populations, continue to flash a cautionary sign in many economies. Global inflation appears to have stopped declining as the extraordinary monetary policy effort seen in developed nations finally seems to be bearing fruit. Our view, however, remains that this will be a very slow process, taking many years and continuing to require meaningful monetary and even fiscal support. This view suggests that we believe spread sectors will continue to be preferable to holding developed market government bonds. It also suggests, however, that we believe any meaningful or swift increase in inflation or interest rates is not imminent.
Over the last six months, we increased exposure to High Yield Credit and Structured Products, while reducing exposure to Investment Grade Credit and EM. We slightly reduced the Portfolio’s duration positioning over the first half of the year (from 5.27 to 5.03 years) as

rates trended lower. We also decreased the Portfolio’s overweight to longer key rate durations as the curve modestly flattened over the period.
At period end, the Portfolio continued to maintain exposure to the global Investment Grade Credit (26%) and High-Yield Credit (25%) sectors, where we believe the fundamental outlook and management of companies remained positive, particularly in the financial sector. The Portfolio also remained positioned to benefit from risk premiums in EM bonds (11%), diversified across sovereign debt in local currencies, sovereign debt in U.S. dollars and select EM corporate issuers. The Portfolio remained overweight CMBS (7%) and Non-Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (8%) as we continued to see these sectors representing good risk-adjusted value and having less sensitivity to changes in commodity prices—a key driver of market volatility over the past several years.

1 The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Portfolio performance is calculated including reinvestment of all income and capital gain distributions. Performance numbers are net of all Portfolio expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, separate account or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts or any additional expenses that participants may bear relating to the operations of their plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. The performance of any index referenced above has not been adjusted for ongoing management, distribution and operating expenses, and sales charges applicable to mutual fund investments. Direct investment in any index is not possible. The performance of Class A shares, as set forth in the line graph above, will differ from that of other classes because of the difference in expenses paid by policyholders investing in the different share classes.
This information represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
** Expenses paid are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six month period, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181 days) in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(a) The annualized expense ratio shown reflects the impact of the management fee waiver as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

* | | Principal and notional amounts stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. |
(a) | | All or a portion of the security was held on loan. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of securities loaned was $437,783,087 and the collateral received consisted of cash in the amount of $460,774,822. The cash collateral investments are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and categorized as Securities Lending Reinvestments. |
(b) | | Payment-in-kind security for which part of the income earned may be paid as additional principal. |
(c) | | Variable or floating rate security. The stated rate represents the rate at June 30, 2017. Maturity date shown for callable securities reflects the earliest possible call date. |
(d) | | Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to legal restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if |
| | the securities are subsequently registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of restricted securities was $10,088,640, which is 0.3% of net assets. See details shown in the Restricted Securities table that follows. |
(e) | | Non-income producing; security is in default and/or issuer is in bankruptcy. |
(f) | | Security was valued in good faith under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. As of June 30, 2017, these securities represent less than 0.05% of net assets. |
(g) | | Illiquid security. As of June 30, 2017, these securities represent 1.1% of net assets. |
(h) | | Interest only security. |
(i) | | Floating rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are determined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |
(j) | | This loan will settle after June 30, 2017, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
(k) | | Principal amount of security is adjusted for inflation. |
(l) | | TBA (To Be Announced) Securities are purchased on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and no defined maturity date. The actual principal and maturity date will be determined upon settlement date. |
(m) | | Non-income producing security. |
(n) | | The rate shown represents current yield to maturity. |
(o) | | Represents investment of cash collateral received from securities on loan as of June 30, 2017. |
(p) | | As of June 30, 2017, the aggregate cost of investments was $4,029,508,506. The aggregate unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments were $132,118,234 and $(61,628,764), respectively, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $70,489,470. |
(144A)— | | Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of 144A securities was $1,207,757,919, which is 34.4% of net assets. |

(a) | | If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(b) | | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or indices as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation. |
(c) | | The maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments that the Portfolio could be required to make under a credit default swap contract would be the notional amount of the contract. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the referenced debt obligation or net amounts received from the settlement of purchased protection credit default swap contracts entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced debt obligation. |
(d) | | If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, will be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table below. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will also be disclosed following the fair value hierarchy table. For more information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from pricing services selected by the Adviser pursuant to authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board. These securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its net asset value (“NAV”) to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order to
BHFTII-35
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported NAV per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign currency forward contracts are valued through an independent pricing service by interpolating between forward and spot currency rates in the London foreign exchange markets as of a designated hour on a valuation day. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, whether on securities, indices, futures contracts, or otherwise, traded on exchanges are valued at the last sale price available as of the close of business on a valuation day or, if there is no such price available, at the last reported bid price. These types of options are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their settlement prices established by the exchanges on which they are traded as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Options, including options on swaps (“swaptions”), and futures contracts that are traded OTC are generally valued on the basis of interdealer bid and asked prices or prices provided by pricing service providers who use a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models, to determine the value of the contracts. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility and exchange rates. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Swap contracts (other than centrally cleared swaps) are marked-to-market daily based on quotations and prices supplied by market makers, broker-dealers and other pricing services. Such quotations and prices are derived utilizing observable data, including the underlying reference securities or indices, credit spread quotations and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service. These contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange or a pricing service when the exchange price is not available. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearing facility requires its members to provide actionable price levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third-party prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. These securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates, including the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to produce the daily settlement price. These securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.

Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to amortization of debt securities, paydown reclasses, merger adjustments, swap transactions, defaulted bonds and foreign currency transactions. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Due to Custodian - Pursuant to the custodian agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSBT”) may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Portfolio to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft, the Portfolio is obligated to repay SSBT at the current rate of interest charged by SSBT for secured loans (currently, the federal funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to SSBT. SSBT has a lien on the Portfolio’s assets to the extent of any overdraft. At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had a payment of $25,780,115 due to SSBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement. Based on the short-term nature of these payments and the variable interest rate, the carrying value of the overdraft advances approximated its fair value at June 30, 2017. If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2017. The Portfolio’s average overdraft advances during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were not significant.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls - The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sells to-be-announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. For the duration of the transaction, or roll period, the Portfolio foregoes principal (including prepayments of principal) and interest paid on the securities sold. Dollar rolls are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions; gain or loss is recognized at the commencement of the term of the dollar roll and each time the mortgage-backed security is rolled.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Portfolio is required to reacquire may be less than the agreed-upon repurchase price of those securities and that the investment performance of securities purchased with proceeds from these transactions does not exceed the income, capital appreciation and gain or loss that would have been realized on the securities transferred or sold, as applicable, as part of the treasury or mortgage dollar roll.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities - The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities may include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBS”), and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by or payable from, mortgage loans on real property or other receivables. The value of some mortgage- or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
In one type of SMBS, one class receives all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security until maturity. These adjustments are netted against payments received for the IOs and the net amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. Details of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities held by the Portfolio are included in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.
The Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be negatively impacted by increased volatility of market prices and periods of illiquidity.
TBA Purchase & Forward Sale Commitments - The Portfolio may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to the settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Portfolio’s other assets. TBA forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements”.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Securities - The Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase commitment is made. The Portfolio may purchase securities under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Portfolio may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.
Upon making a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will hold liquid assets in a segregated account with the Portfolio’s custodian, or set aside liquid assets in the Portfolio’s records, worth at least the equivalent of the amount due. The liquid assets will be monitored on a daily basis and adjusted as necessary to maintain the necessary value.
High-Yield Debt Securities - The Portfolio may invest in high-yield debt securities, or “junk bonds,” which are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or, if not rated, are of equivalent quality. A portfolio with high-yield debt securities generally will be exposed to greater market risk and credit risk than a portfolio that invests only in investment grade debt securities because issuers of high-yield debt securities are generally less secure financially, are more likely to default on their obligations, and their securities are more sensitive to interest rate changes and downturns in the economy. In addition, the secondary market for lower-rated debt securities may not be as liquid as that for more highly rated debt securities. As a result, the Portfolio’s Subadviser may find it more difficult to value lower-rated debt securities or sell them and may have to sell them at prices significantly lower than the values assigned to them by the Portfolio.
Floating Rate Loans - The Portfolio may invest in loans arranged through private negotiation between one or more financial institutions. The Portfolio’s investment in any such loan may be in the form of a participation in or an assignment of the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Portfolio generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower. The Portfolio may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation or assignment. The purchase of assignments will typically result in the Portfolio having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Portfolio may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
The Portfolio may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When the Portfolio purchases assignments, it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. These loans may include participations in bridge loans, which are loans taken out by borrowers for a short period (typically less than one year) pending arrangement of more permanent financing.
The Portfolio will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Portfolio may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements.

the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $98,938,134. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $117,332,352. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts - The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to obtain investment exposure, enhance return or hedge or protect its portfolio holdings against the risk of future movements in certain foreign

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
currency exchange rates. When entering into these contracts, the Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon future date. These contracts are valued daily and the Portfolio’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward foreign exchange rates at the valuation date, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed, the Portfolio recognizes 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 and unrealized gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. These contracts involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities of the Portfolio, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the currency holdings, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to losses if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts. The Portfolio may also experience losses even when such contracts are used for hedging purposes. The Portfolio’s maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened.
Futures Contracts - The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts as a hedge, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Portfolio may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Portfolio must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities, which is returned when the Portfolio’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Portfolio depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expires, the 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that the market for these instruments may be illiquid and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts are exchange-traded, the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. For OTC futures, the Portfolio’s ability to terminate the positions may be more limited than in the case of exchange-traded positions and may also involve the risk that securities dealers participating in such transactions would fail to meet their obligations to the Portfolio.
Options Contracts - An option contract purchased by the Portfolio gives the Portfolio the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying instrument at a fixed exercise price during a specified period. Call options written by the Portfolio give the holder the right to buy the underlying instrument from the Portfolio at a fixed exercise price; put options written by the Portfolio give the holder the right to sell the underlying instrument to the Portfolio at a fixed exercise price.
The Portfolio may use options to hedge against changes in values of securities the Portfolio owns or expects to purchase, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. Writing puts or buying calls tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument and writing calls or buying puts tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument, and can be used to hedge other Portfolio investments. For options used to hedge the Portfolio’s investments, the potential risk to the Portfolio is that the change in value of options contracts may not correspond perfectly to the change in value of the hedged instruments. The Portfolio also bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of purchased options is typically the premium initially paid for the option plus any unrealized gains.
The main risk associated with purchasing an option is that the option expires without being exercised. In this case, the option is worthless when it expires and the premium paid for the option is considered a realized loss. The risk associated with writing a call option is that the Portfolio may forgo the opportunity for a profit if the market value of the underlying instrument increases and the option is exercised, requiring the Portfolio to sell the underlying instrument at a price below its market value. When the Portfolio writes a call option on a security it does not own, its exposure on such an option is theoretically unlimited. The risk in writing a put option is that the Portfolio may incur a loss if the market value of the underlying instrument decreases and the option is exercised, requiring the Portfolio to purchase the underlying instrument at a price above its market value. In addition, the Portfolio risks not being able to enter into a closing transaction for the written option as the result of an illiquid market for the option.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
Purchases of put and call options are recorded as investments, the value of which are marked-to-market daily. When the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium initially paid for the option. When the Portfolio exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying instrument and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid for the put option. When the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid for the call option.
The premium received by the Portfolio for a written option is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. When a written option expires without being exercised or the Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Portfolio realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying instrument and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss, as adjusted for the premium received, from the sale of the underlying instrument. When a written put option is exercised, the premium received by the Portfolio is offset against the amount paid for the purchase of the underlying instrument.
Options on Exchange-Traded Futures Contract (“Futures Option”) is an option contract in which the underlying instrument is a single futures contract.
The purpose of inflation-capped options is to protect the buyer from inflation, above a specified rate, eroding the value of investments in inflation-linked products with a given notional exposure. Inflation-capped options are used to give downside protection to investments in inflation-linked products by establishing a floor on the value of such products.
Swaptions are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swaptions is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option.
Swap Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements in which the Portfolio and a counterparty agree to either make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are either privately negotiated in the OTC market (“OTC swaps”) or executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements for the purposes of managing exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk, or for other purposes. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be paid or received, as applicable, by the Portfolio as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Securities posted by the Portfolio as collateral for swap contracts are identified in the Schedule of Investments and restricted cash, if any, is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Centrally Cleared Swaps: Clearinghouses currently offer clearing derivative transactions which include interest rate and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Portfolio typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Portfolio’s exposure to the credit risk of the original counterparty. The Portfolio typically will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Portfolio would be required to post in an uncleared derivative transaction.
Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily. The fair value of an OTC swap is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The changes in value, if any, are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (such as credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Upon termination or maturity of the swap, upfront premiums are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations.
Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit, and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, or that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions or interest rates. In addition, entering into swap agreements involves documentation risk resulting from the possibility that the parties to a swap agreement may disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreement. The Portfolio may enter into swap transactions with counterparties in accordance with guidelines established by the Board. These guidelines provide for a minimum credit rating for each counterparty and various credit enhancement techniques (for example, collateralization of amounts

due from counterparties) to limit exposure to counterparties that have lower credit ratings. A Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted value of the net cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive, or the fair value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to centrally-cleared swaps is mitigated due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Credit Default Swaps: The Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. Credit default swaps involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (referred to as the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs for the referenced entity, obligation or index. A credit event is defined under the terms of each swap agreement and may include, but is not limited to, underlying entity default, bankruptcy, write-down, principal shortfall or interest shortfall. As the seller of protection, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Portfolio will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index), or pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index). In return, the Portfolio would receive from the counterparty an upfront or periodic stream of payments throughout the life of the credit default swap agreement provided that no credit event has occurred. As the seller of protection, the Portfolio will effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the credit default swap.
The Portfolio may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities held in its portfolio. This would involve the risk that the investment may be worthless when it expires and would only generate income in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial instability). It would also involve credit risk, whereby the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Portfolio in the event of a default. As the buyer of protection, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Portfolio will either receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index), or receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation (or underlying securities comprising the referenced index). If no credit event occurs and the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, the Portfolio will typically recover nothing under the credit default swap agreement, but it will have had to pay the required upfront payment or stream of continuing payments under the credit default swap agreement. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted obligation.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a credit event involving an entity in the index, the credit event is settled based on that entity’s weight in the index. A Portfolio may use credit default swaps on credit indices as a hedge for credit default swaps or bonds held in the portfolio, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many individual credit default swaps to achieve similar effect. Credit default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and may be used to speculate on changes in credit quality.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on a credit index or corporate or sovereign issuer, serve as some indication of the status of the payment/performance risk and the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity or index also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may reflect upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads generally represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the particular swap agreement. When no implied credit spread is available for a credit default swap, the current unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the position may be used as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Portfolio as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2017, for which the Portfolio is the seller of protection, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities.

Currency Swaps: The Portfolio may enter into currency swap agreements to gain or mitigate exposure to currency risk. A currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on a notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value differential among them. Such swaps may involve initial and final exchanges that correspond to the agreed upon notional amount. Currency swaps usually involve the delivery of the entire principal value of one designated currency in exchange for the other designated currency. Therefore, the entire principal value of a currency swap is subject to the risk that the other party to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Portfolio may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction.
Interest Rate Swaps: The Portfolio may enter into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rates or to protect against currency fluctuations, to adjust its interest rate sensitivity (duration), to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment, or otherwise as a substitute for a direct investment in debt securities. The Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Portfolio holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, the Portfolio may enter into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating rate, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Other forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (1) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; (2) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”; and (3) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of interest rate swaps is typically the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive.

4. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Collateral requirements may differ by type of derivative or investment, as applicable. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange-traded derivatives (e.g., futures contracts and exchange-traded options), while collateral terms are contract specific for OTC traded derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swap agreements and OTC options).

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
For derivatives traded under an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar master agreement, the collateral requirements are netted across all transactions traded under such agreement and one amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. The ISDA Master Agreement gives the Portfolio the right, upon an event of default by the applicable counterparty or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the Portfolio’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Portfolio under the applicable transactions, if any. However, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. The enforceability of the right to offset may vary by jurisdiction. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolio under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Investment Risk: The investments by the Portfolio in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Because securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies and may pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Portfolio. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolio to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTA”) govern the considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain forward settling transactions, such as TBA securities and delayed-delivery or secured borrowings transactions by and between the Portfolio and select counterparties. The MSFTA maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency, which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to Portfolio assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the Portfolio. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

6. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Brighthouse Investment Advisers with respect to the Portfolio. For providing investment management services to the Portfolio, Brighthouse Investment Advisers receives monthly compensation at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Management Fees earned by Brighthouse Investment Advisers for the six months ended June 30, 2017 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$9,742,771 | | | 0.650 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.550 | % | | On amounts in excess of $500 million |
Brighthouse Investment Advisers has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with respect to managing the Portfolio. Western Asset Management Company (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” for each class of the Portfolio as follows:
| | |
% per annum | | Average Daily Net Assets |
0.055% | | On the first $500 million |
0.025% | | On the next $500 million |
0.050% | | On the next $1 billion |
0.075% | | On amounts in excess of $2 billion |
An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$54,471,545 | | $ | 70,587,732 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 54,471,545 | | | $ | 70,587,732 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | | | Loss Carryforwards | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$134,884,662 | | $ | — | | | $ | (7,788,051 | ) | | $ | (16,715,740 | ) | | $ | (137,613,302 | ) | | $ | (11,656,329 | ) |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had post-enactment accumulated short-term capital losses of $37,458,557 and post-enactment long-term accumulated capital losses of $100,154,745. The pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards and expiration dates were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Expiring 12/31/17 | | Expiring 12/31/18 | | | Total | |
$14,261,627 | | $ | 2,454,113 | | | $ | 16,715,740 | |
On April 29, 2016, the Portfolio acquired $56,698,739 and $37,535,371 in capital loss carryforwards from Met Investors Series Trust Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio and Met Investors Series Trust Pioneer Strategic Income Portfolio, respectively. These capital loss carryforwards may be subject to loss limitations.
9. Acquisition
At the close of business on April 29, 2016, the Portfolio, with aggregate Class A, Class B and Class E net assets of $1,071,049,128, $185,485,101 and $50,610,322, respectively, acquired all the assets and liabilities of both Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio of the Met Investors Series Trust (“Lord Abbett Bond Debenture”) and Pioneer Strategic Income Portfolio of the Met Investors Series Trust (“Pioneer Strategic Income”).
The acquisitions were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of the Portfolio in the following amounts:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Portfolio | | Share Class | | | Shares Prior to Acquisition | | | Net Assets Prior to Acquisition | | | Shares Issued By Portfolio | |
Lord Abbett Bond Debenture | | | Class A | | | | 47,174,589 | | | $ | 529,283,625 | | | | 40,745,486 | |
Lord Abbett Bond Debenture | | | Class B | | | | 60,173,990 | | | | 667,991,393 | | | | 51,742,162 | |
Lord Abbett Bond Debenture | | | Class E | | | | 1,491,864 | | | | 16,610,085 | | | | 1,283,657 | |
Pioneer Strategic Income | | | Class A | | | | 81,835,600 | | | | 817,194,816 | | | | 62,909,532 | |
Pioneer Strategic Income | | | Class B | | | | 10,555,527 | | | | 103,201,552 | | | | 7,993,923 | |
Pioneer Strategic Income | | | Class E | | | | 23,060,053 | | | | 228,902,910 | | | | 17,689,560 | |
Each shareholder of Lord Abbett Bond Debenture and Pioneer Strategic Income received shares of the Portfolio with the same class designation and at the respective Class NAV, as determined at the close of business on April 29, 2016. The transaction was part of a restructuring designed to eliminate the offering of overlapping Portfolios in the MetLife, Inc. families of funds with similar investment

Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
objectives and similar investment strategies that serve as funding vehicles for insurance contracts that are offered by affiliates of MetLife. Some of the investments held by the Lord Abbett Bond Debenture and Pioneer Strategic Income Portfolios may have been purchased or sold prior to the acquisition for the purpose of complying with the anticipated investment policies or limitations of the Portfolio after the acquisition. If such purchases or sales occurred, the transaction costs were borne by Lord Abbett Bond Debenture and Pioneer Strategic Income Portfolios. All other costs associated with the merger were not borne by the shareholders of the Portfolios.
Lord Abbett Bond Debenture’s net assets on April 29, 2016 were $529,283,625, $667,991,393 and $16,610,085 for Class A, B and E shares, respectively, including investments valued at $1,206,164,787 with a cost basis of $1,199,106,024. Pioneer Strategic Income’s net assets on April 29, 2016 were $817,194,816, $103,201,552 and $228,902,910 for Class A, B and E shares, respectively, including investments valued at $1,087,157,353 with a cost basis of $1,082,699,355. For financial reporting purposes, assets received, liabilities assumed, and shares issued by the Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received by the Portfolio from Lord Abbett Bond Debenture and Pioneer Strategic Income Portfolios were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Portfolio’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the Portfolio immediately after the acquisition were $3,670,328,932, which included $7,058,763 and $4,457,998 of acquired unrealized appreciation on investments and foreign currency transactions from Lord Abbett Bond Debenture and Pioneer Strategic Income, respectively.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2016, the Portfolio’s pro-forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 are as follows:
| | | | |
Net Investment income | | $ | 164,398,365 | (a) |
Net realized and unrealized loss on investments | | | (225,778,495 | )(b) |
| | | | |
Net decrease in net assets from operations | | $ | (61,380,130 | ) |
| | | | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Lord Abbett Bond Debenture and Pioneer Strategic Income that have been included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Operations since April 29, 2016.
| | | | |
(a) | | $129,284,848 net investment income as reported at December 31, 2016 plus $18,673,577 from Lord Abbett Bond Debenture pre-merger net investment income, plus $15,900,758 from Pioneer Strategic Income pre-merger net investment income, plus $371,150 in lower net advisory fees, plus $168,032 of pro-forma eliminated other expenses. |
(b) | | $31,420,078 unrealized appreciation as reported at December 31, 2016 minus $169,506,997 pro-forma December 31, 2015 unrealized depreciation, plus $12,704,790 net realized loss as reported at December 31, 2016 plus $40,633,835 and $34,352,951 in net realized losses from Lord Abbett Bond Debenture and Pioneer Strategic Income pre-merger, respectively. |
10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
11. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Class A, B and E shares of the Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio returned 1.32%, 1.15%, and 1.16%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index1, returned 1.20%.
MARKET OVERVIEW
The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened during the first half of 2017 as short-term yields moved higher, whereas intermediate and longer-term yields declined. During the first half as a whole, the overall U.S. bond market generated a strong gain and spread sectors generally outperformed equal duration Treasuries.
Looking at the U.S. economy, the Commerce Department reported that first quarter 2017 gross domestic product (GDP) growth was 1.4%. In contrast, the economy expanded 2.1% during the fourth quarter of 2016. The deceleration in growth reflected downturns in private inventory investment and personal consumption expenditures, along with more modest state and local government spending.
The labor market was generally solid during the first half. The unemployment rate fell from 4.8% in January to 4.3% in May. The latter reading was the lowest unemployment rate since May 2001. The unemployment rate then ticked up to 4.4% in June, partially due to an increase in the workforce participation rate during the month.
The manufacturing sector continued to expand and the pace accelerated as the year progressed. According to the Institute for Supply Management’s Purchasing Managers Index (“PMI”), the manufacturing sector expanded for an eighth consecutive month in April, with a reading of 54.8 (A reading below 50 indicates a contraction, while a reading above 50 indicates an expansion). After a reading of 54.9 in May, the PMI rose to 57.8 in June, the strongest pace since August 2014. In June, 15 of the 18 industries measured by the PMI expanded.
Data in the housing market were mixed during the reporting period. According to the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”), existing-home sales declined 2.3% on a seasonally adjusted basis in April 2017 versus the previous month’s sales. Existing-home sales then rose 1.1% in May. The NAR also reported that the median existing-home price for all housing types was $252,800 in May 2017, an increase of 5.8% versus May 2016. Finally, the inventory of homes available for sale in May was a 4.2 month supply at the current sales pace, 4.7% lower than a year ago.
The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised the federal funds target rate in March and then in June thereby hiking rates for the third time in six months. While the unemployment rate has dropped to a 16-year low at 4.3%, inflation has stayed stubbornly low. Data released the morning of the June Fed announcement showed that core Consumer Price Index (CPI) slowed for the fourth straight month to a year-over-year (“YoY”) rate of 1.7% in May. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, which is the Fed’s favored index, also declined to a YoY rate of just 1.5% through April, which is down from 1.8% in February. These numbers are still well below the Fed’s 2.0% inflation target and are moving in the wrong direction. While the Fed acknowledged the recent weak inflation data, they still have confidence that, over time, improving demand will eventually push prices up. In the face of this weak inflation data, Fed officials maintained their outlook for one more hike in 2017 and three more rate increases in 2018. Not only did the Fed deliver a rate hike and keep its forward guidance unchanged but it also announced details for how it intends to shrink its $4.5 trillion balance sheet this year. The Fed will gradually roll off a fixed amount of assets on a monthly basis with the initial cap set at $6 billion per month of Treasuries and $4 billion per month of Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”). These caps will increase every three months until they reach $30 billion and $20 billion, respectively.
Short-term Treasury yields rose, while intermediate and longer-term Treasury yields declined during the first half. Over the reporting period the yield on the two-year Treasury rose from 1.20% to 1.38% while the yield on the 30-year Treasury declined from 3.06% to 2.84%. This represented a significant yield curve flattening as the 2s-30s spread tightened from 1.86% to 1.46%. Long-term yields were actually much lower until the last week of June when European Central Bank (the “ECB”) president Mario Draghi rattled global markets by suggesting that the era of monetary easing may eventually have to end. Draghi said reflationary forces were reviving in Europe which caused speculation that he might start to wind down the ECB’s quantitative easing program and at some point, start to raise interest rates. Bank of England (the “BoE”) Governor Mark Carney was also on record stating that “some removal of monetary stimulus is likely to become necessary” as the economy improves. These comments sent global bond yields sharply higher over the last four days of the month as German 10-year Bund yields rose 22 basis points (“bps”) and 10-year U.S. Treasuries (“USTs”) rose 17 bps. It still may be a while before the ECB and the BoE tighten, but investors were officially put on notice that the era of coordinated global monetary easing may be coming to end.
All told, the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 2.27% during the first half of 2017. Spread sectors continued their strong performance from last year as spreads on investment grade and high yield credit, structured products and emerging markets (“EM”) all tightened, generating positive excess returns.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio outperformed its benchmark for the six month reporting period as macro strategies and spread sector allocations both contributed to performance.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
A tactically long U.S. duration position was a slight contributor to performance as rates declined across most of the curve. A yield-curve flattener position was a significant contributor as the spread between two- and 30-year USTs flattened from 186 bps to 146 bps. The Portfolio was generally overweight the long end of the curve relative to the investment benchmark. A significant allocation to Agency debentures also contributed as they outperformed Treasuries. An allocation to Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) however, was a detractor as breakeven inflation rates declined for the fifth straight month.
An allocation to Agency MBS was the other main detractor as MBS spreads widened and underperformed Treasuries of similar interest rate risk during the first half of 2017. Positions in structured products, and specifically Non-Agency MBS, were significant contributors as spreads tightened on legacy bonds and government-sponsored enterprise risk-transfer deals. A modest allocation to U.S. dollar sovereign emerging markets bonds also contributed to performance as their yields declined over the first half of 2017.
We have recently downgraded our projection for U.S. growth to 1.5%-2.0% for the remainder of 2017, avoiding a recession but still below the historical norm. The Fed still remains accommodative as financial conditions have eased and we believe the Fed is on track for one more rate hike in 2017. Even though central bankers are preparing the market for the inevitable shift in monetary policy, we continue to believe that any rate normalization will be extremely gradual and still accommodative central bank policy will support the global recovery and risk assets generally.
Over the last six months, we decreased exposure to USTs and maintained significant exposure to Agency debentures and MBS. The Portfolio maintained moderate exposure to structured products including Non-Agency MBS, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities and Asset-Backed Securities. We generally decreased the Portfolio’s duration positioning over the first half after yields declined as growth and inflation expectations moderated.
At period end, the Portfolio was positioned to reflect our expectation for modest U.S. economic growth and low inflation. The Portfolio’s exposure to interest rate risk was conservatively positioned relative to an average of 1-year to 10-year U.S. government securities, as shorter-dated interest rates are expected to trend modestly higher over the remainder of the year. However, the Portfolio did have significant exposure to long-dated interest rates, as the yield spread to shorter bonds remains greater than average.
While we expect inflation to remain low for some time due to weak overall demand growth, the Portfolio does have a moderate position in long-dated TIPS. Even in a low inflation environment, market expectations of inflation may rise to meet Fed-targeted inflation rates should domestic growth maintain its low but steady trend. Long-dated TIPS also may act as hedge against higher bond yields in a scenario of an unwarranted increase in inflation expectations.
At period end, we were still finding attractive opportunities for additional yield in certain spread sectors, particularly structured products and U.S. dollar bonds from select EM issuers. EM valuations are still very attractive in our opinion, especially compared to developed markets. While only a small part of the Portfolio, these EM bonds provide incremental yield to the Portfolio and should do well in an environment of rising global growth.

Understanding Your Portfolio’s Expenses (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) (referred to as “expenses”) of investing in the Portfolio and 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, January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular share class of the Portfolio, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line 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 second line for each share class of the Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees or charges of your variable insurance product or any additional expenses that participants in certain eligible qualified plans may bear relating to the operations of their plan. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these other costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) define fair market value as the price that the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into three levels. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are either active or inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, or other market corroborated inputs)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them. Changes to the inputs or methodologies used may result in transfers between levels, which will be recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Brighthouse Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”) (formerly, MetLife Advisers, LLC), currently offers thirty series, each of which operates as a distinct investment vehicle of the Trust. The series included in this report is Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which is diversified. Shares in the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts established by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser.
The Portfolio has registered and offers three classes of shares: Class A, B and E shares. Shares of each Class of the Portfolio represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Portfolio, and certain Portfolio-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the net assets of the Portfolio. Each Class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan and such distribution expenses are allocated to the corresponding Class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued.
The Portfolio is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies and Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements - Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; and non-U.S. bonds, are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from independent pricing services and/or brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser (each a “pricing service”), pursuant to authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Such pricing services may use matrix pricing, which considers observable inputs including, among other things, issuer details, maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, rates of prepayment, credit risks/spreads, default rates, reported trades, broker dealer quotes and quoted prices for similar assets. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost in the absence of market quotes, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Floating rate loans are generally valued on the basis of an evaluated or composite average of aggregate bid and ask quotations supplied by brokers or dealers, as obtained from the pricing service. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated or composite bid quotations obtained from pricing services selected by the Adviser pursuant to the authorization of and subject to general oversight by the Board. These securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Domestic and foreign equity securities, such as common stock, exchange-traded funds, rights, warrants, and preferred stock, that are traded on a securities exchange on a valuation date are generally valued at their last quoted sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange for such security, or, if no sales occurred on that day, at the last reported bid price. Equity securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are generally valued at the last reported bid price. In the event of a major exchange closing during the trading day, the Adviser may use other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers, or pricing services in valuing the securities. Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain foreign equity securities that are traded solely on foreign exchanges that close before the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. The Portfolio may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by a pricing service to value securities principally traded in these foreign markets in order
BHFTII-16
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
to adjust for possible market movements or other changes that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time as of which the Portfolio determines its NAV. Foreign equity securities valued using these valuation adjustments are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities that are actively traded, and have no valuation adjustments applied, are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded on inactive markets, or valued in reference to similar instruments traded on active markets, are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued at reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the valuation date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges are valued at their closing prices as of the close of such exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
If no current market value quotation or other observable inputs are readily available or market value quotations are deemed to be unreliable for an investment, the fair value of the investment will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by, and under the general supervision of, the Board. In such a circumstance, the Board will be assisted in its responsibility to determine the fair value of an investment by the Valuation Committee (“Committee”) of Brighthouse Investment Advisers. The Committee provides general pricing oversight and fair value pricing determinations related to portfolio securities and meets on a regular basis to review reports relating to the valuation of the securities in the Portfolio. The Board has delegated to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian (“custodian”), the responsibility for calculating the NAVs of the Trust’s Portfolios. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the calculation of the NAVs of the Portfolios by the custodian. The Committee also periodically reviews pricing services, including the pricing services providing fair value pricing for the Portfolio’s foreign securities, and is responsible for overseeing the correction of pricing errors and addressing other pricing issues that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as making real-time fair value determinations, as necessary.
No single standard for determining the fair value of an investment can be set forth because fair value depends upon the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment. Information relating to any relevant factors may be obtained by the Committee from any appropriate source, including the subadviser of the Portfolio, the custodian, a pricing service, market maker and/or broker for such security or the issuer. Appropriate methodologies for determining fair value under particular circumstances may include: matrix pricing, a discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons of securities with comparable characteristics, value based on multiples of earnings, discount from market price of similar marketable securities, or a combination of these and other methods.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. These foreign taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Because the values of investment securities are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates and that portion of the results of operations reflecting fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities are not separated. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Portfolio. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassification between under/over distributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains/losses, and paid-in surplus. Book-tax differences are primarily due to amortization of debt securities, TIPS adjustments and paydown reclasses. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute, with respect to each taxable year, all of its
BHFTII-17
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Portfolio files U.S. federal tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, or de-recognition or disclosure.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls - The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sells to-be-announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. For the duration of the transaction, or roll period, the Portfolio foregoes principal (including prepayments of principal) and interest paid on the securities sold. Dollar rolls are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions; gain or loss is recognized at the commencement of the term of the dollar roll and each time the mortgage-backed security is rolled.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Portfolio is required to reacquire may be less than the agreed-upon repurchase price of those securities and that the investment performance of securities purchased with proceeds from these transactions does not exceed the income, capital appreciation and gain or loss that would have been realized on the securities transferred or sold, as applicable, as part of the treasury or mortgage dollar roll.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities - The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities may include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBS”), and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by or payable from, mortgage loans on real property or other receivables. The value of some mortgage- or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
In one type of SMBS, one class receives all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security until maturity. These adjustments are netted against payments received for the IOs and the net amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations of the Portfolio. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. Details of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities held by the Portfolio are included in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.
The Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be negatively impacted by increased volatility of market prices and periods of illiquidity.
TBA Purchase & Forward Sale Commitments - The Portfolio may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to the settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Portfolio’s other assets. TBA forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements”.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Securities - The Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase commitment is made. The Portfolio may purchase securities under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Portfolio may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.
Upon making a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will hold liquid assets in a segregated account with the Portfolio’s custodian, or set aside liquid assets in the Portfolio’s records, worth at least the equivalent of the amount due. The liquid assets will be monitored on a daily basis and adjusted as necessary to maintain the necessary value.
Repurchase Agreements - The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Portfolio acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed-upon time and at an agreed-upon price. The Portfolio, through the custodian or a subcustodian, under a tri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is the Portfolio’s policy that the market value of the collateral be equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price in the case of a repurchase agreement of one-day duration and equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price in the case of all other repurchase agreements. In
BHFTII-18
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
the event of default or failure by a party to perform an obligation in connection with any repurchase transaction, the MRA gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2017, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $11,078,809. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $13,430,715. The combined value of all repurchase agreements is included as part of investments at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017.
Securities Lending - The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to certain qualified brokers who borrow securities in order to complete certain securities transactions. By lending its portfolio securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of income on collateral held from securities on loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio.
The Trust has entered into a Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “lending agent”). Under the agreement, the lending agent is authorized to loan portfolio securities on the Portfolio’s behalf. In exchange, the Portfolio receives either cash or government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. The Portfolio receives collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value for loans secured by government securities or cash in the same currency as the loaned shares and 105% for all other loaned securities at each loan’s inception. Collateral representing at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities is maintained for the duration of the loan. Any cash collateral received by the Portfolio is generally invested by the lending agent in short-term investments, which may include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, time deposits and money market funds. The market value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the valuation techniques are described in Note 2. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. A portion of the income earned on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the lending agent and the Portfolio. On loans collateralized by government securities, a fee is received from the borrower and is allocated between the Portfolio and the lending agent.
Income received by the Portfolio in securities lending transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations. The values of any securities loaned by the Portfolio and the related collateral at June 30, 2017 are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral received by the Portfolio exceeded the value of the securities out on loan at June 30, 2017.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower, subject to the terms of the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
The following table provides a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligations by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturities of those transactions, which are accounted for as secured borrowings.

3. Investments in Derivative Instruments
Futures Contracts - The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts as a hedge, to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Portfolio may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to
BHFTII-19
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Portfolio must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities, which is returned when the Portfolio’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Portfolio depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expires, the 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that the market for these instruments may be illiquid and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts are exchange-traded, the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. For OTC futures, the Portfolio’s ability to terminate the positions may be more limited than in the case of exchange-traded positions and may also involve the risk that securities dealers participating in such transactions would fail to meet their obligations to the Portfolio.
The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives held by the Portfolio at June 30, 2017 by category of risk exposure:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

4. Certain Risks
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist. Those risks include:
Market Risk: The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate, and price fluctuations.
Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Portfolio’s investment adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing
BHFTII-20
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Portfolio restricts its exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements (“Master Agreements”) with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Foreign Investment Risk: The investments by the Portfolio in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Because securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies and may pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Portfolio. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolio to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights to set-off. Each repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement is initially collateralized at the transaction level. In the event of default, the total market value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTA”) govern the considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain forward settling transactions, such as TBA securities and delayed-delivery or secured borrowings transactions by and between the Portfolio and select counterparties. The MSFTA maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency, which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to Portfolio assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the Portfolio. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described above within the respective security type notes. The Portfolio’s prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.

An identical agreement was in place for the period May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers of Brighthouse Investment Advisers; however, such officers and trustees receive no compensation from the Trust.
Transfer Agency Agreement - MetLife serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. MetLife receives no fees for its services to the Trust under the transfer agency agreement.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) in which Brighthouse Securities, LLC serves as the distributor for the Portfolio’s Class A, B and E Shares. Brighthouse Securities, LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser. On August 4, 2017, the distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust, dated March 6, 2017, terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement as a result of a change of control of the Distributor, as described below under “Subsequent Events.” Prior to March 6, 2017, MetLife Investors Distribution Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Investors Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser at the time, was the Trust’s Distributor. The terms of all agreements are substantially identical. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for the Portfolio’s Class B and E Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Class B and E Shares of the Portfolio pay a fee to compensate the Insurance Companies (or their affiliates) and other broker-dealers and financial intermediaries involved in the offer and sale of Portfolio shares for promoting or selling and servicing the Class B and E Shares. The fees under the Distribution and Service Plan for each class of the Portfolio’s shares are calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are attributable to that Class. Currently, the fee is 0.25% per year for Class B Shares and 0.15% per year for Class E Shares. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
Deferred Trustee Compensation - Each Trustee who is not currently an employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives compensation from the Trust for his or her service to the Trust. A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts on the normal payment dates in certain portfolios of the Trust or Brighthouse Funds Trust I, an affiliate of the Trust, as designated by the participating Trustee. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portion of the accrued obligations allocated to the Portfolio under the Plan is reflected as Deferred trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2017—(Continued)
7. Contractual Obligations
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, the Trust has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
8. Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |
2016 | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
$57,870,631 | | $ | 55,821,477 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 57,870,631 | | | $ | 55,821,477 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | | | Other Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$56,925,902 | | $ | — | | | $ | (25,455,610 | ) | | $ | (85,940,884 | ) | | $ | (54,470,592 | ) |
The Portfolio utilizes the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for up to eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of December 31, 2016, the Portfolio had post-enactment short-term accumulated capital losses in the amount of $525,218 and post-enactment long-term accumulated capital losses in the amount of $85,415,666, and no pre-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
10. Subsequent Events
On August 4, 2017, the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the parent company of Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor, from MetLife, Inc. was completed. On that date, the investment advisory agreements and distribution agreement under which Brighthouse Investment Advisers and the Distributor had served as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, of the Trust terminated and were replaced with substantially identical agreements with the same parties. Also on that date, the investment subadvisory agreement under which the Subadviser served as subadviser of the Portfolio terminated and was replaced with a substantially identical agreement with the same parties.
