Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio
Managed by Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited
Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio returned 20.50%, 20.21%, and 20.32%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (“ACWI”)ex-U.S. Index1, returned 13.60%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Market returns in the first half of 2019 have been almost universally positive. Whether for risk assets or safe havens, increasing expectation of stimulus to preserve the long economic expansion across developed markets was buoying sentiment. In international equities, markets recorded double digit returns across the board with the standout regional market being Canada (21%) within an overall market return of 13.6% for the MSCI ACWIex-U.S. Index. Robust returns can be a cause for cheer, but there are some signs that economic activity is moderating, such as weak manufacturing and employment numbers from Germany. With interest rates already low by historic standards, there is also a question as to how much leverage can be exerted through further stimulus.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Portfolio comfortably outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. Positive stock contributors included MercadoLibre (Argentina), the Latin American ecommerce retailer. The company has been investing heavily in its logistics network. On a recent roadshow, the company shared with investors the positive impact that this investment is now having. In addition to the larger delivery companies, small independent counterparts are now taking deliveries from MercadoLibre fulfilment centers. The longer-term ambition is to shift away from the ‘drop-ship’ network to one where consumers get deliveries direct to their door. The average delivery time is now under three days and the drop-ship delivery time less than four days, an improvement of two days from a year ago. The overall positive impact on service levels and customer satisfaction serves to increase the network effects of the business.
DSV (Denmark), afreight forwarding business, also contributed to performance during the period. DSV looks well on track to complete its recent deal for competitor Panalpina (Switzerland) with little anti-trust opposition to the deal closing. In addition to allocating capital to selective merger and acquisition (“M&A”) opportunities, the company has continued to deliver excellent organic results on the remainder of its business; in the first quarter’s reporting, earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) exceeded expectations by 10%, which is impressive during a period where a lot of management time was taken up with the Panalpina acquisition.
Edenred (France), the prepaid corporate services business, has for some time been converting a sizeable portion of its business to a digital platform. This switch remains a key growth driver for the business on several fronts; it allows the company to target smaller clients across several divisions, it facilitates innovation for mobile payment solutions, like Apple Pay, and it enables payment services for meal delivery platforms like UberEats. The company has highlighted recently that its home markets of Europe may be approaching a point where it is more challenging to replicate historic organic growth. However, growth opportunities remain in Latin America, with Brazil continuing to grow strongly in both Employee Benefits and Fleet Management.
In terms of negative contributions to performance,Ryanair (Ireland), thelow-cost airline detracted over the period. We regard Ryanair as a classic example of a through cycle winner; it looks to invest and grow as others retrench, and take market share while others suffer, in the hope of emerging stronger when conditions are more favorable. We are at one such juncture currently. Passenger demand in Europe is weak, oil prices are volatile, and competition is under cost pressure. In the face of all this, Ryanair is adding capacity to increase pressure on its competitors. Whilst this will mean lower profitability for Ryanair in the short term, we believe it should enable the company to take more market share and has the potential to take capacity out of the industry in the long term.
In common with many banks in Europe, Bankinter (Spain) continues to suffer under the weight of market expectations surrounding a lack of growth in the European banking segment and the potential for increased threat from challenger banks and/or bank disintermediation. Bankinter recently acquired the banking operations of EVO Banco in Spain and its consumer credit lending business, Avantcard in Ireland. EVO has a young saver profile relative to legacy Bankinter and as such will be integrated with Bankinters digital business, Coinc. Avantcard adds geographic diversification to a segment (consumer credit) where Bankinter have been growing steadily in Spain for several years.
Japan Exchange (Japan), the stock exchange business, detracted from performance in the period. The company reported a revenue decline of 11% and operating profit that fell 19%, in large part due to lower trading volume and lower fee revenue. In its outlook for the full year 2019, the company indicated further profit decline due to higher costs for technology investment. Our long-term enthusiasm is undiminished however. With its near monopoly position, the company’s earnings are robust, if cyclical. Continued M&A activity, most recently the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, serves only to strengthen the company’s competitive position. And finally, the company has committed to returning excess capital to shareholders.
There were a number of changes to the Portfolio in the period. Typically, the turnover in the Portfolio is low. The Portfolio Managers have a long-term investment horizon and typically hold stocks in excess of five years. However, we do alter the Portfolio where we believe that fundamentals for existing holdings have changed, where valuation levels provide entry or exit opportunities and where we feel that the balance of future growth opportunities justifies selling a holding to fund a new purchase. Recent examples of these decisions are described below.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
During the period, we added several new holdings to the Portfolio and sold or reduced a number of holdings to fund those purchases. We took a new holding in IMCD (Netherlands). IMCD is a distributor of chemicals which is a fragmented market within which we believe that IMCD has the opportunity to grow share. We also purchased a holding in freight forwarder and logistics company Kuehne & Nagel (Switzerland). We believe that there is an opportunity for the freight forwarding industry to consolidate with the larger companies that are able to invest in the complex IT systems and physical network that global logistics delivery requires taking share from the smaller players. We also took a holding in food delivery business Takeaway.com (Netherlands) which was partially funded by a reduction of U.K. food delivery company Just Eat (U.K.). Takeaway.com has leading positions in markets across Northern and Central Europe, chief among these Germany. While an immature company still in investment mode, we believe the combination of first mover advantage, strong growth and improving network effects make the company an attractive investment for a small part of the Portfolio.
The Portfolio Managers sold out of James Hardie (Australia), the building materials company most known for concrete siding, particularly in the U.S. The company is dominant within the segment but is facing competition from engineered wood siding and we believe that this will restrict future growth. We also sold Hon Hai Precision (Taiwan) which had been a long term holding within the Portfolio. The sheer scale of the company’s outsourced manufacturing is impressive, but it has become increasingly reliant on large contracts from clients such as Apple, Dell and Sony, with an accompanying erosion of pricing power.
The Portfolio Managers select stocks for the Portfolio based on the fundamental attractions of the companies themselves. The companies selected for the Portfolio will typically have strong competitive advantages, sustainably high returns relative to the market average and be more cash generative and less leveraged than the market. The Portfolio Managers hope to find investment opportunities for the Portfolio that will be long term holdings, usually more than five years, which means that trading in the Portfolio will generally be relatively infrequent. The Portfolio Managers do not change the Portfolio in response to short term market and economic conditions or determine which investments to buy for the Portfolio by regard to the regional, sector or industry weightings of the benchmark, although they do monitor diversification by reference to the benchmark, amongst other factors.
Consequently, the weightings of the Portfolio relative to the benchmark are not indicative of a view on individual markets or industries, but an aggregation of the individual companies that the Portfolio Managers have selected. At period end, the Portfolio maintained an underweight in Emerging Markets, Developed Asia and Canada and overweight in the U.K. and Europe. At sector level, the Portfolio was most overweight in Industrials and Consumer Discretionary stocks. The Portfolio was most underweight in Energy and Health Care. At industry level, the Portfolio was overweight in the Internet and Direct Marketing industry, Capital Markets and Machinery. In industry terms, the Portfolio was underweight in Banks, Oil and Gas & Consumable Fuels and Pharmaceuticals.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. |

Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019 (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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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”), currencies, and futures contracts that are traded OTC are generally valued on the basis of interdealer bid and ask 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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders -The Portfolio records dividends and distributions on theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus.Book-tax differences are primarily due to adjustments to prior period accumulated balances. 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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $22,079,214. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $34,331,772. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.

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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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.

Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio returned 6.90%, 6.77%, and 6.82%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1, returned 6.11%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
After 2018 delivered the unusual outcome of both global equities and global bonds suffering negative returns, 2019 began in much more upbeat fashion, with many asset classes rebounding strongly in an environment of low volatility. A steady rally in government bonds accelerated into a marked repricing in March after the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) delivered a dovish surprise at its meeting and European manufacturing activity slumped far more than feared. Despite being close to achieving its dual targets of full employment and stable inflation, the Fed’s rate-setting committee slashed its projections of rate hikes this year from two to zero as policymakers cited global risks that could impact the domestic economy. These include trade disputes, slowing activity in China and Europe, and potential spillovers from Brexit, the U.K.’s exit from the European Union (the “E.U.”). Fed Chair Jerome Powell reinforced the central bank’s patient stance to adjusting policy and guided that interest rates could be on hold for “some time”.
The Fed turned dovish late last year but in March went further than expected in realigning policy to tackle global risks weighing on the domestic economy. Policymakers reiterated that the Fed would continue to be patient with respect to monetary policy, as they downgraded their estimate of growth this year to 2.1%, from 2.3% projected in December. Fed Chair Jerome Powell guided that interest rates could be on hold for “some time” as the committee slashed its projections of rate hikes this year from two to zero. The Fed also provided more details of its plan to end balance sheet reduction, explaining that caps on monthly redemptions will begin to be lowered starting in May, and would conclude at the end of September.
The Fed led a tide of dovishness over the quarter as central banks either held back on tightening monetary policy or introduced new stimulus in the face of broad-based signs of economic downturn. The European Central Bank (the “ECB”) indicated that it would not now be raising interest rates until next year and unveiled a new program of cheap loans for banks. Policymakers in Australia and Canada also adopted await-and-see approach. The Bank of England remained constrained to inaction pending clarity over the U.K.’s exit from the E.U., but sharply downgraded its estimate of domestic growth this year. China signaled a willingness to ease monetary and fiscal policies to support expansion.
Coming into second quarter of the year, strong performances in April and June were enough to offset negative sentiment in May and leave many asset classes in positive returns territory over the second quarter. An easing of geopolitical tensions in April proved short-lived as the U.S.-China trade negotiations collapsed in May, sparking a trade war and broader struggle for technological supremacy. Heightened tensions in the Gulf weighed further on risk sentiment after the U.S. mobilized military resources to the region,re-imposed sanctions on Iran and came within minutes of launching missile strikes in retaliation at the shooting down of a U.S. drone. Brexit returned to center stage in Europe and forced the resignation of U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May as she proved unable to break the parliamentary deadlock and as the ruling Conservative party was trounced in the European parliament elections.
Major central banks responded to the persistent weakness by moving decisively more dovish. The Fed’s statement and “dot plot” of interest rate expectations shifted more than expected, and markets firmly anticipate rate cuts beforeyear-end. The ECB arguably surpassed the Fed with its accommodation as President Mario Draghi stated: “In the absence of improvement, such that the sustained return of inflation to our aim is threatened, additional stimulus will be required.” He added that further cuts in interest rates remain part of the bank’s tools and that asset purchases still have considerable headroom.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The main drivers of positive performance for the first half of the year were the Portfolio’s overweight in duration positioning, U.S. investment grade credit, and U.S. municipals, as well as our allocations in securitized assets, such asnon-agency residential mortgages and collateralized loan obligations. Our small overweight in emerging market debt also contributed positively to performance over the period. The main detractors to performance were our overweight in agency mortgages, and tactical positions in global sovereign bonds.
We started increasing duration from the beginning of 2019. By the end of the first quarter, we held a small overweight in duration (5.8 years versus 5.5 years for the Index) as we believed a dovish shift in the monetary policy stance and near-neutral policy rate should keep U.S. interest rates range-bound in the near-term. In the first quarter, we held a modest steepening bias (a greater weight on shorter term yields and underweights to longer maturity yields) on the yield curve in the Portfolio.
After the aggressivere-pricing in spread assets towards the end of last year, we used the opportunity to add in investment grade credit overweight in the first quarter, as we thought the sector would benefit from an environment with lower volatility and produce high quality income in the Portfolio. On the other hand, we took down our allocation to high yield credit and maintained anup-in-quality bias in the sector. In emerging markets, we added opportunistically, mostly in local currency debt, as we saw a dovish Fed taking off upward pressure from the U.S. dollar and allowing for easier local monetary policy as well.
Into the second quarter of 2019, we maintained our mantra of owning more duration in the Portfolio. We continued to believe that duration serves as a good hedge in the Portfolio as the Fed remained committed to underwriting the economic expansion and to an easing monetary policy.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Managed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC
Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
Given the attractive valuation level, we added exposure in agency mortgages and ended the period with an overweight to the asset class. We continued to hold a core allocation to specified mortgages pools versus short positions in TBAs (To Be Announced mortgages, a contract whereby the investor will take ownership of a yet to be determined pool of mortgages in the future) under our relative value strategy. We also added to our inflation-protected bond allocation at attractive entry levels as the sector underperformed other risk assets for the quarter and as a partial hedge as well in the Portfolio.
Additionally, we tactically reduced some exposures in U.S. investment grade credit on the back of tight valuations and a less favorable outlook compared to the beginning of the year. Overall, we still preferred owning higher quality carry assets in the Portfolio, while hedged by a duration overweight. In emerging markets, we trimmed some risk (mostly in foreign currency debt) in May when geopolitical uncertainties elevated, and started slightly adding back in June, while holding an overall cautious stance in the sector. At period end we favored exposures in local rate and specific country stories where real rates are high, and held moderately long positions in external debt.
The Portfolio employed derivatives as a tool in seeking efficient management of the Portfolio. During the period, the use of derivatives provided exposures through means believed to be advantageous to the Portfolio, including achieving various market exposures and reducing certain risks, and these derivatives performed as expected.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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, 2019. Maturity date shown for callable securities reflects the earliest possible call date. For securities based on a published reference index and spread, the index and spread are indicated in the description above. For certain variable rate securities, the coupon rate is determined by the issuer/agent based on current market conditions. For certain asset- and mortgage-backed securities, the coupon rate may fluctuate based on changes of the underlying collateral or prepayments of principal. These securities do not indicate a reference index and spread in their description above. |
(c) | | Interest only security. |
(d) | | All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open futures contracts. As of June 30, 2019, the market value of securities pledged was $7,663,711. |
(e) | | Principal amount of security is adjusted for inflation. |
(f) | | All or a portion of the security was held on loan. As of June 30, 2019, the market value of securities loaned was $30,496,214 and the collateral received consisted of cash in the amount of $31,476,870. The cash collateral investments are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and categorized as Securities Lending Reinvestments. |
(g) | | Non-income producing; security is in default and/or issuer is in bankruptcy. |
(h) | | Payment-in-kind security for which part of the income earned may be paid as additional principal. |
(i) | | 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, 2019, the market value of restricted securities was $5,829,257, which is 0.2% of net assets. See details shown in the Restricted Securities table that follows. |
(j) | | Principal only security. |
(k) | | 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 generally have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are determined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or a minimum rate. |
(l) | | Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. The Portfolio may enter into certain credit agreements for which all or a portion may be unfunded. The Portfolio is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. |
(m) | | Significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of this portfolio security; i.e. Level 3. |
(n) | | Security was valued in good faith under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. As of June 30, 2019, these securities represent 0.5% of net assets. |
(o) | | This loan will settle after June 30, 2019, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
(p) | | Non-income producing security. |
(q) | | Represents investment of cash collateral received from securities on loan as of June 30, 2019. |
(r) | | For a breakout of open positions, see details shown in the Purchased Options table that follows. |
(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, 2019, the market value of 144A securities was $642,532,114, which is 18.5% 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. |
(1) | | There is no upfront payment premium paid or (received) therefore Market Value equals Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation). |

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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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 Topic946- Financial Services- Investment Companies. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic820- Fair Value Measurement.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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”), currencies, and futures contracts that are traded OTC are generally valued on the basis of interdealer bid and ask 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) aremarked-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.
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
BHFTII-52
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
Due to Custodian - Pursuant to the custodian agreement, the Custodian 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 the Custodian at the current rate of interest charged by the Custodian for secured loans (currently, the federal funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to the Custodian. The Custodian has a lien on the Portfolio’s assets to the extent of any overdraft. At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had a payment of $1,437,246 due to the Custodian 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, 2019. If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2019. The Portfolio’s average overdraft advances during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were not significant.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-recognition or disclosure.
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 ofset-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.
BHFTII-53
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 anyset-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, 2019, the Portfolio had open unfunded loan commitments of $4,206,810. At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
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.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls - The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sellsto-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.
TBA Purchase and 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 will occur beyond the customary settlement period. 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 Portfolio 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,
BHFTII-54
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
under atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $45,222,651. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $13,477,068. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-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 thenon-defaulting party with a right toset-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, 2019, the Portfolio had an outstanding reverse repurchase agreement balance for 52 days. The average amount of borrowings was $50,361,434 and the annualized weighted average interest rate was 2.60% during the 52 day period. There were no outstanding reverse repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2019.

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 aremarked-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 areexchange-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 tend 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,
BHFTII-56
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 aremarked-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 subsequentlymarked-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 aremarked-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 equals the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2019, 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”; (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; and (4) basis swaps, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different segments of money markets. 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.
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.

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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-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.

BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 | |
0.030% | | 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 April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. No fees were waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
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 - Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio returned 23.96%, 23.81%, and 23.88%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index1, returned 21.49%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Following the December selloff, U.S. equities took a sharpU-turn, with the S&P 500 Index returning 18.54% on ayear-to-date basis. In the first quarter of the year, fears of an economic slowdown eased as a result of better-than-anticipated corporate earnings and a pause in the Federal Reserve’s policy normalization. In the second quarter, equities pulled back in May as concerns over theUS-China trade war escalated. However, following theG-20 summit in June, stocks recovered their losses on the news of progress in trade negotiations and the continued dovish stance of the Federal Reserve. On ayear-to-date basis, all sectors in the Index were up, with Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary gaining the most, and Health Care and Energy the least.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
During the6-month period, stock selection in Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Health Care contributed to relative performance while selection in Financials and Communication Services detracted.
The largest sector contributor to relative performance over the period was Industrials, where stock selection in the professional services and industrial conglomeratessub-sectors had the strongest positive impact on results. Notably, an overweight position in CoStar Group, within professional services, as well as not owning 3M and an overweight to Roper Technologies, within industrial conglomerates, contributed to relative results. Secondly, stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector added to relative results, led by the internet & direct marketing retailsub-sector where an overweight to Amazon and anoff-benchmark position in Braziliane-commerce giant, MercadoLibre, drove results. Lastly, Health Care was a key contributor to relative results, where an underweight to biotechnology, which underperformed during the period, and security selection in the pharmaceuticalssub-sector, notably not holding Eli Lilly & Company and Bristol-Myers Squibb, had the strongest positive impact on performance.
The largest detractor over the period was Financials, where not owning any companies in the insurancesub-sector detracted from results as several insurance names, such as the Progressive Corporation and AON PLC, outperformed. Communication Services was also a key detractor, led by stock selection in interactive media & services, particularly an underweight to Facebook, which outperformed during the period, and anoff-benchmark position in Tencent which underperformed. Other notable detractors during the period include overweight positions in Centene Corporation and United Healthcare, as well as an underweight position in Apple.
Due to a combination of trading activity and market movement during the period, Industrials and Information Technology saw the largest changes in active positioning. The Portfolio shifted from holding a large active underweight to being overweight Industrials, largely due to an increase in the overweight to the professional servicessub-sector and a reduction in the underweight to the aerospace & defense industry. By contrast, the Portfolio’s active overweight to Information Technology shifted to an underweight due to a decrease in the overweight to software and an increase in the active underweight to the communication equipment industry.
The largest sector overweight in the Portfolio as of June 30, 2019 was Consumer Discretionary, followed by Materials. Information Technology and Consumer Staples 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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-13
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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-14
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $6,811,459. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $36,784,273. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, 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 issuers 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
BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019 were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are shown as management fee waivers 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- Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees- The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2019 was as follows:

BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio
Managed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC
Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio returned 1.19%, 1.07%, and 1.11%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch3-monthT-Bill Index1, returned 1.24%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Portfolio positioning during the first half of 2019 was influenced by the Federal Open Market Committee’s (“FOMC”) pivot to an overtly “patient” stance with regards to monetary policy and accommodation removal adopted by the FOMC during the first quarter. As we moved through the first half of the year, dovish rhetoric from the FOMC intensified, highlighted by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell’s commitment to utilizing policy to maintain the current economic expansion. This led us to believe that the cycle of policy accommodation removal has ended and the next move by the FOMC will be a rate cut relatively soon. Positioning also encompassed our expectation for somewhat lower bank funding needs and increased volatility in U.S. Treasury bill supply. Demand for short term credit investments fromnon-traditional buyers, coupled with significant flows into prime funds and ultrashort bond funds fueled by the flat yield curve, continued to prove a dominant technical force in the front end credit market. These factors pressured 3 month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) to fall from 2.81% on December 31st to 2.32% at the end of June. The LIBOR curve was inverted by 0.22% as measured from 1 month to 1 year on June 30th compared with a positive slope of 0.51% at year end.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
During the period, the Portfolio added fixed rate commercial paper and certificates of deposit at yields of 2.18% to 2.92% with final maturities of 3 months to 13 months, 0.54% above current overnight levels to 0.20% below current overnight levels. Floating rate investments with final maturities of 3 months to 1 year were added at spreads of 0.13% to 0.32% over 1 month LIBOR and 0.0% to 0.24% over 3 month LIBOR. The Portfolio also added floating rate certificates of deposit linked to SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) at spreads of 0.30% to 0.51% over the index. The inversion of the LIBOR yield curve and tightening of credit spreads that resulted from the increasingly dovish rhetoric by the FOMC led to price appreciation, particularly in fixed rate investments with longer durations. While this price appreciation was additive to return, proceeds of maturing securities were reinvested at significantly lower yields, negatively impacting the income generating capacity of the Portfolio. The tightening of the spread between 1 month and 3 month LIBOR over the period increased the relative attractiveness of securities linked to the 1 month LIBOR index.
As an expression of our strategy, the Weighted Average Maturity of the Portfolio increased from 27 days in December to 54 days at the end of June while the Weighted Average Life was increased from 73 days to 79 days over the period. The allocation to floating rate instruments decreased from 36% at the end of December to 25% at the end of June and was comprised of securities indexed off of SOFR (1%),1-month LIBOR (13%) and3-month LIBOR (11%). These contributed 0.66% to gross yield while fixed rate investments contributed the balance.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-half year period). |

Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019 (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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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 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.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $101,612,000, 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, 2019.
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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019 | | % per annum | | | Average daily net assets |
$1,407,967 | | | 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 April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, to reduce its advisory fees set out above under “Investment Management Agreement” as follows:
| | | | |
% per annum reduction | | Average Daily Net Assets | |
0.025% | | Of the first $ | 1 billion | |
For the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019, an identical expense agreement was in place. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 - Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class D, Class E and Class G shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a Distribution Fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class D, Class E and Class G shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets in the case of Class D shares, 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares and 0.30% of average daily net assets in the case of Class G shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2019 was as follows:
| | | | |
Cost basis of investments | | $ | 811,383,262 | |
| | | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | | 295,358 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (52,720 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | $ | 242,638 | |
| | | | |
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | | | Accumulated Capital Losses | | | Total | |
$13,214,833 | | $ | — | | | $ | (59,204 | ) | | $ | — | | | $ | 13,155,629 | |
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, 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.
As of December 31, 2018, the Portfolio had no accumulated capital losses.

Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Managed by Artisan Partners Limited Partnership
Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio returned 17.72%, 17.57%, and 17.63%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index1, returned 18.02%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The U.S. economy clocked a tenth straight year of expansion, tying thepost-war record of 120 months set during the 1991-2001 expansion, even as some indicators flashed warnings signs. The yield curve, as measured by the difference between long-term and short-term U.S. Treasury yields, inverted, historically a portent of recession. Among the Group of 7 (“G7”) economies, manufacturing activity deteriorated materially. Citing the effects of the U.S.-China trade war, slowing overseas growth and fading stimulus from the 2017 tax cuts, the Federal Reserve paused rate hikes and announced it would end its balance-sheet unwind sooner than expected, while signaling that rate cuts may begin as early as July.
Similarly, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) stated it would maintain negative interest rates and announced a series of cheap long-term loans for banks. The Chinese government sought to counter trade-related weakness with aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus. The Chinese economy is estimated to have grown 6.2% in the second quarter, its slowest pace in 27 years.
All the central bank intervention was heartily welcomed by equity markets, which ended the first half of 2019 the same way they started: rallying. In January, markets bounced back strongly after ayear-end sell off. Similarly, June was a good month for equities. After some hiccups in May, the S&P 500 Index made a newall-time high on June 20th. In fact, for the S&P 500 Index, the first six months of 2019 were the best first half since 1997.
For the mid cap value space specifically, the Russell Midcap Value Index was up 18.02% over the first half of the year, led by the Information Technology (“IT”), Industrials and Financials sectors, on a total return basis. All sectors enjoyed double digit total returns with the lone exception of Consumer Staples.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Portfolio slightly underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index over the first half of the year on anet-of-fees basis. Overall, below benchmark allocations to the IT sector, above benchmark exposure to Consumer Discretionary names, and cash balances weighed on relative returns. Stock selection was itself a positive contributor to relative returns, particularly in the Financials and Health Care sectors.
Our biggest detractors included Qurate, a video and internet commerce business that owns the QVC® network (formerly known as Liberty Interactive QVC), and The Kroger Company, a grocer.
In the Consumer Discretionary sector, television and online retailer Qurate was a detractor from relative returns. Weighing broadly on investor sentiment was both a worse-than-expected earnings report and a growing realization that management planned to engage more aggressively than was anticipated in digital platform retailing. Unlike the successful TV and telephone model of QVC’s past, this transition would likely cut into margins—customer acquisition is expensive and pricing power on the Internet is generally weaker.
The roadmap for the Restock Kroger initiative may be faltering as investors pushed down the stock on fears that management’s turnaround plan would take longer than anticipated or simply prove unsuccessful. Consequently, Kroger was a top detractor in the first half of the year. The bulk of the weakness came over atwo-day span in early March when it appeared that management was getting further, rather than closer, to fulfilling 2018’s promise of $400 million in incremental operating profit growth and $6.5 billion in cumulative free cash flow by 2020. Year-over-year earnings growth softened, and gross margins compressed. However, we believe the earnings weakness is a near-term event, resulting from investments in the supply chain and pricing that should ultimately help the company accelerate back toward its goals. We remained keenly aware of how critical management’s execution of this initiative is to the stock’s success and have therefore monitored developments closely.
Among the top five detractors in the Portfolio were new purchases in the first half of 2019—Thor Industries, E*TRADE Financial and Lions Gate Entertainment. This phenomenon is consistent with our process and philosophy. We seek to invest in companies that are out of favor, where the market’s valuation is driven by a fear or uncertainty, creating an opportunity for value investors to acquire stakes in quality franchises at discounted prices. It is not uncommon for these discounts to continue to widen as we initiate and build our positions.
Thor Industries manufactures recreational vehicles, primarily, under several brands including the industry’s most recognizable one: Airstream. A recent expansion into the European market (by way of acquisition) and excess inventory concerns pressured valuations lower, allowing us to purchase an industry-leading franchise that meets our margin of safety criteria. We believe Thor consistently delivers value over the economic cycle—in fact, we have owned it in previous cycles—though working off the inventory overhang may weigh on the stock price over the next several quarters.
E*TRADE operates abest-in-class technology platform for online brokerage, making a strong presence in the burgeoning robo-advisory space. Management changes and falling interest rates weighed on valuations and brought this name into our view. With new personnel in place, E*TRADE is hitting on key performance benchmarks the Board put in place in 2016.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Managed by Artisan Partners Limited Partnership
Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
Another new purchase in the first half was NetApp, an enterprise data storage and solutions company with a specialization inall-flash (i.e., solid-state) storage. After an unfocused period of weak growth that led the board to oust the CEO in 2015, the company has been transforming its business from exclusively storage systems to compete in the broader enterprise cloud computing space. Given NetApp’s relatively new entry into this highly competitive industry, it has many doubters, and valuations have been discounted. It’s certainly a difficult transformation for management, but the strong balance sheet and healthy stock buyback program, record of technological innovation, and until now, a lack of concerted product and service marketing, suggested this was an undervalued stock with potential.
The Portfolio’s top contributor was Dentsply Sirona, a global dental products manufacturer and distributor resulting from anall-stockmerger-of-equals that took place in February 2016 between Sirona Technologies (digital tech) and Dentsply (dental supplies). The management team at the time mishandled the merger; subsequently, the board of directors reorganized the management team. There is now an extensive turnaround effort underway. Before we took up our position, the market sentiment toward the name was negative amid all the mismanagement and turnover. Since then, the restructuring has gone well, execution risk has diminished, and the stock has outperformed. This name is exemplary of our approach: we had followed the business for a long while and waited patiently for the valuation to come to us. We like the company’s steady, recurring, market-leading consumables business that serves the dentist office at every patient visit. That, along with management’snew-found commitment to prudent capital management, was reflected in the rising valuation.
Airplane leasing firm Air Lease Corp was another top contributor over the trailing six months. Demand for air travel from the global emerging middle class, along with the rise ofultra-low-cost carriers, has provided secular tailwinds to the business. Air Lease maintains a young fleet of high-demand, fuel-efficient,low-operational-cost aircraft, and we believe management has positioned the company as the industry leader.
A top contributor, consumer financial services company Synchrony Financial, benefited from its contract renewals with major partners (e.g., Sam’s Club, Amazon, Qurate, eBay and Walgreens). Additionally, share prices appreciated based on expectations of hearty stock repurchases. Adding to this momentum was a solid balance sheet, improving credit metrics and a record of profitability. Synchrony’s low valuation combined with healthy business fundamentals and strong capital return were favorable for the stock price.
Regarding the Portfolio sales over the period, we closed property and casualty insurer Alleghany Corp because its valuations extended beyond what we determined to be justified for the underlying business. We sold independent energy company Hess based on our diminished view of the exploration & production industry. We had been selling our position over time on the sustained lag between the stock’s price and the prevailing oil price. The business is just too dependent upon the commodity price to make a meaningful change in our negative view of the industry. Our desire is to put cash to work in favor of better ideas. Online travel research company TripAdvisor had reached valuations that we believed were full relative to the underlying business’ capabilities. Recent earnings success was rooted in efforts to trim marketing expenses and boost margins. We didn’t believe that these improvements were sustainable and we exited our position. Our decisions are always made from thebottom-up, without regard to index construction. Sector allocations are necessarily a byproduct of our stock selections.
Atperiod-end, the Portfolio maintained above-benchmark positions in the Financials, Materials, Communications Services, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Health Care, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, Consumer Staples, and IT holdings were below the benchmark’s average weights for the period.

Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-13
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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

Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $32,992,861. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $24,008,917. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
Directed Brokerage Agreement -The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (“CAPIS”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to CAPIS in return for a recapture credit. CAPIS 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.

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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non-U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non-U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 94,879,149 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 134,137,802 | |
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, 2019 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$3,731,376 | | | 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.

Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, the Adviser has agreed, for the period April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 |
0.040% | | On the first $500 million |
0.050% | | On the next $500 million |
0.060% | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |
An identical agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 through April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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- Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees- The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2019 was as follows:

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A and B shares of the Brighthouse Asset Allocation 20 Portfolio returned 8.31% and 8.18%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Dow Jones Conservative Index1, returned 5.56%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Amid-term election, a hawkish Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and uncertainty about the direction of the global economy had investors on edge and led to a nerve-racking finish to 2018, with the S&P 500 Index delivering the worst quarterly return since 2011 in the fourth quarter. However, with election results essentially as predicted (Republicans retaining their Senate majority and Democrats seizing control of the House) and with economic news being no worse than what was already priced into the market, the stage was set for equities to reach even higher.
That catalyst for continued equity growth turned out to be a significant change in Fed rhetoric, which changed from “interest rates might be a long way from normal” in October of 2018, to a “slower pace of rate increases” in January of 2019, and ended with a June statement implying an interest rate cut if economic conditions (including the U.S.-China trade war), warranted it. The Fed stance was not without issues though. It is one of those peculiar times where bad economic news may be perversely good for equities and vice versa, as market participants hope for a cut in interest rates which, in turn, stimulate equities. For instance, concerns about a slowing global economy and the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China (which precipitated a market drop of 7% during the month of May), completely reversed after the Fed’s June statement, which signaled upcoming potential interest rate cuts exactly because of slowing economic growth. One interesting development was new research indicating that the long-term historical relationship between inflation and unemployment has changed (low unemployment is expected to lead to upwards wage pressure which then leads to inflation). As a result, the Fed now believes that the level of unemployment causing inflation is permanently lower than it was in the past—meaning, the Fed doesn’t need to raise interest rates (to combat inflation) as early in the cycle as expected.
The global economy is still seeing moderate economic growth, although the pace is slowing, according to IMF, Fed and ECB statements earlier this year. The central theme from all three organizations was the ongoing trade war, as increasing levels of tariffs between countries slows down trade and, consequently, global growth. Another concern is the (still unresolved) issue of Brexit (the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union) and its impact on growth in Europe. After years of negotiations between the U.K. and the E.U., the two parties are yet to come to an agreement that the government in the U.K. will accept. The failure to come to an agreement led to numerous votes of confidence (a vote showing whether a majority continues to support the policy of a leader) and resulted in U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s resignation. She was replaced byU.S.-born Boris Johnson, a controversial figure in British politics. Johnson, who was Mayor of London from 2008-2016, as well as a long-time E.U.-skeptic, is now the central figure in a change of leadership that reduces the already slim chances of an orderly Brexit occurring.
Meanwhile in the U.S., unemployment sits at 3.7%, near50-year lows, and is trending downwards. This bodes well for continued consumer spending strength (consumption drives almost 70% of the U.S. economy). Additionally, the housing market is showing signs of improvement after experiencing headwinds in 2018, the result of too many years of above-average increases in home prices and rising mortgage rates as both price increases and mortgage rates have attenuated in 2019. Consequently, the economy is expected to extend its already existing record for the longest expansion in history (GDP has been growing for the past 121 consecutive months), with growth expected to come in at a moderate pace of 2.5% for the year.
Backed by these and other robust economic stats along with a “dovish” Fed, investors realized above-average returns across most asset classes. The S&P 500 Index was up 18.5% during the first six months of the year and had its best half-year since 1997. Foreign Developed and Emerging Markets equities did well too, coming in at 14.0% and 10.6% respectively, as measured by the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices. Fixed income did outstanding as well, with Emerging Market bonds, High Yield bonds and Investment Grade bonds all delivering around 10% for the period, helped by a large appetite for risk and falling rates. Asia credit returns, which is an important driver of the Emerging Markets bond index, had its best first half-year on record, and U.S. High Yield bonds had their best first half in 10 years. As a result, if history is any guide, it is reasonable to expect smaller gains for the remainder of the year (and possibly increased levels of volatility), as uncertainty regarding central bank guidelines, trade wars and a general sense of geopolitical instability conspires to potentially slow the global economy.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Brighthouse Asset Allocation 20 Portfolio invests 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. Over thesix-month period, the Portfolio outperformed the Dow Jones Conservative Index. The main drivers of performance were overweights to High Yield Bonds and U.S. Core Bonds at the expense of Cash and Foreign Bonds, and strong-performing underlying U.S. andNon-U.S. equity portfolios.
The underlying Fixed Income portfolios subtracted from relative performance over the first half of 2019. The worst performer was the Brighthouse/Templeton International Bond Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 2.1%. The biggest detractors from performance resulted from underweighted duration exposure in the U.S., Europe and Japan, in addition to an overweight to the Argentine peso. The Brighthouse/Eaton Vance Floating Rate Portfolio also

underperformed for the period, returning 1.1% less than its benchmark. Performance was hurt by its cash holdings as the loan market advanced 5.7%, as well as security selection within Financial Intermediaries, Retailers and Oil & Gas industries. On the other hand, the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities portfolio outperformed its benchmark by 3.6% for the period. The Portfolio benefitted from its allocation to corporate bonds as spreads tightened for both Investment Grade and High Yield securities. In addition, the portfolio benefitted from an overweight exposure to U.S. duration, as interest rates fell significantly over the first six months of the year.
The overall contribution from the underlying U.S. Equity portfolios added to relative performance for the period. Within the Portfolio’s Large Cap sleeve, the BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio stood out as it outperformed its benchmark by 2.5%. The portfolio benefitted from strong security selection within the Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors, in addition to an underweight to the Biotechnologysub-sector of Healthcare. The MFS Value Portfolio was another positive contributor to relative performance as it outperformed its benchmark by 2.3%. The primary drivers of performance were security selection within the Financials and Consumer Staples sectors and an overweight to Industrials. The Portfolio’s Mid Cap sleeve experienced an unusual case where both portfolios (the Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio and the T. Rowe Price Mid Cap Growth Portfolio) underperformed their respective benchmarks (the Russell Midcap Value Index and the Russell Midcap Growth Index). Interestingly, however, in aggregate the combination was still able to outperform the Brighthouse Asset Allocation 20 Portfolio’s Mid Cap benchmark, the Dow Jones U.S. TSM Mid Cap Index. This discrepancy is a result of the many ways that the Mid Cap equity asset class is defined. As such, the best relative performance within the underlying Mid Cap equity portfolios was the Brighthouse/Artisan Mid Cap Value Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 0.3%. The underperformance resulted from overweights to Cash and Consumer Discretionary, and an underweight to Technology. Within the Small Cap sleeve, the Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio delivered the strongest relative performance as it outperformed its benchmark by 9.1% during the first six months of the year. The portfolio benefitted from its significant tilt towards Growth and Quality stocks versus its benchmark, along with favorable security selection in nine out of ten sectors.
TheNon-U.S. equity portfolios overall contributed to relative performance. The strongest relative performance came from the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 6.9% for the period. The main drivers of performance were security selection within the Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Technology and Basic Materials sectors, as well as an overweight to Technology and an underweight to Communication Services. The Brighthouse/Artisan International Portfolio was another strong performer, exceeding its benchmark by 6.4%. The outperformance was driven by security selection, particularly within the Financials, Materials and Industrials sectors. The Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio, however, underperformed its benchmark by 1.6%. The underperformance was primarily a result of underweight positioning to and security selection within the Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation sector, and overweight positioning and security selection in the Oil & Gas Exploration & Production sector.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Asset Allocation Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Asset Allocation Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Asset Allocation Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are valued at their closing daily 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 -The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation 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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 20 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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, 2019, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-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, 2019 were as follows:

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:

| | | 0.050 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 April 30, 2019 to April 30, 2020, to waive a portion of its advisory fees or 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 April 30, 2019 to April 30, 2020 are 0.10% and 0.35% for Class A and B, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, 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 $143,509. The amount of expenses deferred in 2018 subject to repayment until December 31, 2023 was $153,825. The amount of expenses deferred in 2019 subject to repayment until December 31, 2024 was $96,544.
Transfer Agency Agreement -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, to pay to the Distributor a distribution fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A and B shares of the Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio returned 10.67% and 10.48%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Dow Jones Moderately Conservative Index1, returned 9.29%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Amid-term election, a hawkish Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and uncertainty about the direction of the global economy had investors on edge and led to a nerve-racking finish to 2018, with the S&P 500 Index delivering the worst quarterly return since 2011 in the fourth quarter. However, with election results essentially as predicted (Republicans retaining their Senate majority and Democrats seizing control of the House) and with economic news being no worse than what was already priced into the market, the stage was set for equities to reach even higher.
That catalyst for continued equity growth turned out to be a significant change in Fed rhetoric, which changed from “interest rates might be a long way from normal” in October of 2018, to a “slower pace of rate increases” in January of 2019, and ended with a June statement implying an interest rate cut if economic conditions (including the U.S.-China trade war), warranted it. The Fed stance was not without issues though. It is one of those peculiar times where bad economic news may be perversely good for equities and vice versa, as market participants hope for a cut in interest rates which, in turn, stimulate equities. For instance, concerns about a slowing global economy and the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China (which precipitated a market drop of 7% during the month of May), completely reversed after the Fed’s June statement, which signaled upcoming potential interest rate cuts exactly because of slowing economic growth. One interesting development was new research indicating that the long-term historical relationship between inflation and unemployment has changed (low unemployment is expected to lead to upwards wage pressure which then leads to inflation). As a result, the Fed now believes that the level of unemployment causing inflation is permanently lower than it was in the past—meaning, the Fed doesn’t need to raise interest rates (to combat inflation) as early in the cycle as expected.
The global economy is still seeing moderate economic growth, although the pace is slowing, according to IMF, Fed and ECB statements earlier this year. The central theme from all three organizations was the ongoing trade war, as increasing levels of tariffs between countries slows down trade and, consequently, global growth. Another concern is the (still unresolved) issue of Brexit (the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union) and its impact on growth in Europe. After years of negotiations between the U.K. and the E.U., the two parties are yet to come to an agreement that the government in the U.K. will accept. The failure to come to an agreement led to numerous votes of confidence (a vote showing whether a majority continues to support the policy of a leader) and resulted in U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s resignation. She was replaced byU.S.-born Boris Johnson, a controversial figure in British politics. Johnson, who was Mayor of London from 2008-2016, as well as a long-time E.U.-skeptic, is now the central figure in a change of leadership that reduces the already slim chances of an orderly Brexit occurring.
Meanwhile in the U.S., unemployment sits at 3.7%, near50-year lows, and is trending downwards. This bodes well for continued consumer spending strength (consumption drives almost 70% of the U.S. economy). Additionally, the housing market is showing signs of improvement after experiencing headwinds in 2018, the result of too many years of above-average increases in home prices and rising mortgage rates as both price increases and mortgage rates have attenuated in 2019. Consequently, the economy is expected to extend its already existing record for the longest expansion in history (GDP has been growing for the past 121 consecutive months), with growth expected to come in at a moderate pace of 2.5% for the year.
Backed by these and other robust economic stats along with a “dovish” Fed, investors realized above-average returns across most asset classes. The S&P 500 Index was up 18.5% during the first six months of the year and had its best half-year since 1997. Foreign Developed and Emerging Markets equities did well too, coming in at 14.0% and 10.6% respectively, as measured by the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices. Fixed income did outstanding as well, with Emerging Market bonds, High Yield bonds and Investment Grade bonds all delivering around 10% for the period, helped by a large appetite for risk and falling rates. Asia credit returns, which is an important driver of the Emerging Markets bond index, had its best first half-year on record, and U.S. High Yield bonds had their best first half in 10 years. As a result, if history is any guide, it is reasonable to expect smaller gains for the remainder of the year (and possibly increased levels of volatility), as uncertainty regarding central bank guidelines, trade wars and a general sense of geopolitical instability conspires to potentially slow the global economy.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio invests 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 thesix-month period, the Portfolio outperformed the Dow Jones Moderately Conservative Index. The main drivers of performance were overweights to High Yield Bonds and U.S. Core Bonds at the expense of Cash and Foreign Bonds, and strong-performing underlying U.S. andNon-U.S. equity portfolios.
The underlying Fixed Income portfolios subtracted from relative performance over the first half of 2019. The worst performer was the Brighthouse/Templeton International Bond Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 2.1%. The biggest detractors from performance resulted from underweighted duration exposure in the U.S., Europe and Japan, in addition to an overweight to the Argentine peso. The Brighthouse/Eaton Vance Floating Rate Portfolio also

underperformed for the period, returning 1.1% less than its benchmark. Performance was hurt by its cash holdings as the loan market advanced 5.7%, as well as security selection within Financial Intermediaries, Retailers and Oil & Gas industries. On the other hand, the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio outperformed its benchmark by 3.6% for the period. The portfolio benefitted from its allocation to corporate bonds as spreads tightened for both Investment Grade and High Yield securities. In addition, the portfolio benefitted from an overweight exposure to U.S. duration, as interest rates fell significantly over the first six months of the year.
The overall contribution from the underlying U.S. Equity portfolios added to relative performance for the period. Within the Portfolio’s Large Cap sleeve, the BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio stood out as it outperformed its benchmark by 2.5%. The portfolio benefitted from strong security selection within the Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors, in addition to an underweight to the Biotechnologysub-sector of Healthcare. The MFS Value Portfolio was another positive contributor to relative performance as it outperformed its benchmark by 2.3%. The primary drivers of performance were security selection within the Financials and Consumer Staples sectors and an overweight to Industrials. The ClearBridge Aggressive Growth Portfolio was a detractor from relative performance as the portfolio returned 8.5% less than its benchmark. Leading drivers of underperformance were security selection within the Technology and Healthcare sectors, and overweights to Energy and Healthcare. Within the Mid Cap sleeve, the Wells Capital Management Mid Cap Value Portfolio stood out, as it outperformed its benchmark by 4.3%. The largest contributors to performance were strong security selection within the Industrials, Materials and Real Estate sectors. Within the Small Cap sleeve, the Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio delivered the strongest relative performance as it outperformed its benchmark by 9.1% during the first six months of the year. The portfolio benefitted from its significant tilt towards Growth and Quality stocks versus it benchmark, along with favorable security selection in nine out of ten sectors.
TheNon-U.S. equity portfolios overall contributed to relative performance. The strongest relative performance came from the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 6.9% for the period. The main drivers of performance were security selection within the Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Technology and Basic Materials sectors, as well as an overweight to Technology and an underweight to Communication Services. The Brighthouse/Artisan International Portfolio was another strong performer, exceeding its benchmark by 6.4%. The outperformance was driven by security selection, particularly within the Financials, Materials and Industrials sectors. The Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio, however, underperformed its benchmark by 1.6%. The underperformance was primarily a result of underweight positioning to and security selection within the Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation sector, and overweight positioning and security selection in the Oil & Gas Exploration & Production sector.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Asset Allocation Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Asset Allocation Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Asset Allocation Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are valued at their closing daily 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 -The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation 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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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
BHFTII-9
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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, 2019, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-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, 2019 were as follows:

U.S. Government | | Non-U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non-U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 596,603,197 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 647,459,938 | |
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, 2019 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$1,544,900 | | | 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.

Brighthouse Asset Allocation 40 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, to pay to the Distributor a distribution fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A and B shares of the Brighthouse Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio returned 13.05% and 12.90%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Dow Jones Moderate Index1, returned 12.03%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Amid-term election, a hawkish Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and uncertainty about the direction of the global economy had investors on edge and led to a nerve-racking finish to 2018, with the S&P 500 Index delivering the worst quarterly return since 2011 in the fourth quarter. However, with election results essentially as predicted (Republicans retaining their Senate majority and Democrats seizing control of the House) and with economic news being no worse than what was already priced into the market, the stage was set for equities to reach even higher.
That catalyst for continued equity growth turned out to be a significant change in Fed rhetoric, which changed from “interest rates might be a long way from normal” in October of 2018, to a “slower pace of rate increases” in January of 2019, and ended with a June statement implying an interest rate cut if economic conditions (including the U.S.-China trade war), warranted it. The Fed stance was not without issues though. It is one of those peculiar times where bad economic news may be perversely good for equities and vice versa, as market participants hope for a cut in interest rates which, in turn, stimulate equities. For instance, concerns about a slowing global economy and the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China (which precipitated a market drop of 7% during the month of May), completely reversed after the Fed’s June statement, which signaled upcoming potential interest rate cuts exactly because of slowing economic growth. One interesting development was new research indicating that the long-term historical relationship between inflation and unemployment has changed (low unemployment is expected to lead to upwards wage pressure which then leads to inflation). As a result, the Fed now believes that the level of unemployment causing inflation is permanently lower than it was in the past—meaning, the Fed doesn’t need to raise interest rates (to combat inflation) as early in the cycle as expected.
The global economy is still seeing moderate economic growth, although the pace is slowing, according to IMF, Fed and ECB statements earlier this year. The central theme from all three organizations was the ongoing trade war, as increasing levels of tariffs between countries slows down trade and, consequently, global growth. Another concern is the (still unresolved) issue of Brexit (the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union) and its impact on growth in Europe. After years of negotiations between the U.K. and the E.U., the two parties are yet to come to an agreement that the government in the U.K. will accept. The failure to come to an agreement led to numerous votes of confidence (a vote showing whether a majority continues to support the policy of a leader) and resulted in U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s resignation. She was replaced byU.S.-born Boris Johnson, a controversial figure in British politics. Johnson, who was Mayor of London from 2008-2016, as well as a long-time E.U.-skeptic, is now the central figure in a change of leadership that reduces the already slim chances of an orderly Brexit occurring.
Meanwhile in the U.S., unemployment sits at 3.7%, near50-year lows, and is trending downwards. This bodes well for continued consumer spending strength (consumption drives almost 70% of the U.S. economy). Additionally, the housing market is showing signs of improvement after experiencing headwinds in 2018, the result of too many years of above-average increases in home prices and rising mortgage rates as both price increases and mortgage rates have attenuated in 2019. Consequently, the economy is expected to extend its already existing record for the longest expansion in history (GDP has been growing for the past 121 consecutive months), with growth expected to come in at a moderate pace of 2.5% for the year.
Backed by these and other robust economic stats along with a “dovish” Fed, investors realized above-average returns across most asset classes. The S&P 500 Index was up 18.5% during the first six months of the year and had its best half-year since 1997. Foreign Developed and Emerging Markets equities did well too, coming in at 14.0% and 10.6% respectively, as measured by the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices. Fixed income did outstanding as well, with Emerging Market bonds, High Yield bonds and Investment Grade bonds all delivering around 10% for the period, helped by a large appetite for risk and falling rates. Asia credit returns, which is an important driver of the Emerging Markets bond index, had its best first half-year on record, and U.S. High Yield bonds had their best first half in 10 years. As a result, if history is any guide, it is reasonable to expect smaller gains for the remainder of the year (and possibly increased levels of volatility), as uncertainty regarding central bank guidelines, trade wars and a general sense of geopolitical instability conspires to potentially slow the global economy.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Brighthouse Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio invests 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 thesix-month period, the Portfolio outpaced the Dow Jones Moderate Index. The main drivers of performance were overweights to High Yield Bonds and U.S. Core Bonds at the expense of Cash and Foreign Bonds, an underweight to Emerging Markets equities, and strong-performing underlying U.S. andNon-U.S. equity portfolios.
The underlying Fixed Income portfolios subtracted from relative performance over the first half of 2019. The worst performer was the Brighthouse/Templeton International Bond Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 2.1%. The biggest detractors from performance resulted from underweighted duration exposure in the U.S., Europe and Japan, in addition to an overweight to the Argentine peso. The Brighthouse/Eaton Vance Floating Rate Portfolio also

underperformed for the period, returning 1.1% less than its benchmark. Performance was hurt by its cash holdings as the loan market advanced 5.7%, as well as security selection within Financial Intermediaries, Retailers and Oil & Gas industries. On the other hand, the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio outperformed its benchmark by 3.6% for the period. The portfolio benefitted from its allocation to corporate bonds as spreads tightened for both Investment Grade and High Yield securities. In addition, the portfolio benefitted from an overweight exposure to U.S. duration, as interest rates fell significantly over the first six months of the year.
The overall contribution from the underlying U.S. Equity portfolios added to relative performance for the period. Within the Portfolio’s Large Cap sleeve, the BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio stood out as it outperformed its benchmark by 2.5%. The portfolio benefitted from strong security selection within the Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors, in addition to an underweight to the Biotechnologysub-sector of Healthcare. The MFS Value Portfolio was another positive contributor to relative performance as it outperformed its benchmark by 2.3%. The primary drivers of performance were security selection within the Financials and Consumer Staples sectors and an overweight to Industrials. The ClearBridge Aggressive Growth Portfolio was a detractor from relative performance as the portfolio returned 8.5% less than its benchmark. Leading drivers of underperformance were security selection within the Technology and Healthcare sectors, and overweights to Energy and Healthcare. Within the Mid Cap sleeve, the Wells Capital Management Mid Cap Value Portfolio stood out, as it outperformed its benchmark by 4.3%. The largest contributors to performance were strong security selection within the Industrials, Materials and Real Estate sectors. Within the Small Cap sleeve, the Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio delivered the strongest relative performance as it outperformed its benchmark by 9.1% during the first six months of the year. The portfolio benefitted from its significant tilt towards Growth and Quality stocks versus its benchmark, along with favorable security selection in nine out of ten sectors.
TheNon-U.S. equity portfolios overall contributed to relative performance. The strongest relative performance came from the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 6.9% for the period. The main drivers of performance were security selection within the Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Technology and Basic Materials sectors, as well as an overweight to Technology and an underweight to Communication Services. The Brighthouse/Artisan International Portfolio was another strong performer, exceeding its benchmark by 6.4%. The outperformance was driven by security selection, particularly within the Financials, Materials and Industrials sectors. The Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio, however, underperformed its benchmark by 1.6%. The underperformance was primarily a result of underweight positioning to and security selection within the Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation sector, and overweight positioning and security selection in the Oil & Gas Exploration & Production sector.

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.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 -The Asset Allocation Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Asset Allocation Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Asset Allocation Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are valued at their closing daily 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 -The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation 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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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
BHFTII-9
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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, 2019, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-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, 2019 were as follows:

$0 | | $ | 1,526,787,930 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 1,386,068,678 | |
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, 2019 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$3,278,000 | | | 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.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, to pay to the Distributor a distribution fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A and B shares of the Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio returned 15.75% and 15.52%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Index1, returned 14.60%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Amid-term election, a hawkish Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and uncertainty about the direction of the global economy had investors on edge and led to a nerve-racking finish to 2018, with the S&P 500 Index delivering the worst quarterly return since 2011 in the fourth quarter. However, with election results essentially as predicted (Republicans retaining their Senate majority and Democrats seizing control of the House) and with economic news being no worse than what was already priced into the market, the stage was set for equities to reach even higher.
That catalyst for continued equity growth turned out to be a significant change in Fed rhetoric, which changed from “interest rates might be a long way from normal” in October of 2018, to a “slower pace of rate increases” in January of 2019, and ended with a June statement implying an interest rate cut if economic conditions (including the U.S.-China trade war), warranted it. The Fed stance was not without issues though. It is one of those peculiar times where bad economic news may be perversely good for equities and vice versa, as market participants hope for a cut in interest rates which, in turn, stimulate equities. For instance, concerns about a slowing global economy and the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China (which precipitated a market drop of 7% during the month of May), completely reversed after the Fed’s June statement, which signaled upcoming potential interest rate cuts exactly because of slowing economic growth. One interesting development was new research indicating that the long-term historical relationship between inflation and unemployment has changed (low unemployment is expected to lead to upwards wage pressure which then leads to inflation). As a result, the Fed now believes that the level of unemployment causing inflation is permanently lower than it was in the past—meaning, the Fed doesn’t need to raise interest rates (to combat inflation) as early in the cycle as expected.
The global economy is still seeing moderate economic growth, although the pace is slowing, according to IMF, Fed and ECB statements earlier this year. The central theme from all three organizations was the ongoing trade war, as increasing levels of tariffs between countries slows down trade and, consequently, global growth. Another concern is the (still unresolved) issue of Brexit (the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union) and its impact on growth in Europe. After years of negotiations between the U.K. and the E.U., the two parties are yet to come to an agreement that the government in the U.K. will accept. The failure to come to an agreement led to numerous votes of confidence (a vote showing whether a majority continues to support the policy of a leader) and resulted in U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s resignation. She was replaced byU.S.-born Boris Johnson, a controversial figure in British politics. Johnson, who was Mayor of London from 2008-2016, as well as a long-time E.U.-skeptic, is now the central figure in a change of leadership that reduces the already slim chances of an orderly Brexit occurring.
Meanwhile in the U.S., unemployment sits at 3.7%, near50-year lows, and is trending downwards. This bodes well for continued consumer spending strength (consumption drives almost 70% of the U.S. economy). Additionally, the housing market is showing signs of improvement after experiencing headwinds in 2018, the result of too many years of above-average increases in home prices and rising mortgage rates as both price increases and mortgage rates have attenuated in 2019. Consequently, the economy is expected to extend its already existing record for the longest expansion in history (GDP has been growing for the past 121 consecutive months), with growth expected to come in at a moderate pace of 2.5% for the year.
Backed by these and other robust economic stats along with a “dovish” Fed, investors realized above-average returns across most asset classes. The S&P 500 Index was up 18.5% during the first six months of the year and had its best half-year since 1997. Foreign Developed and Emerging Markets equities did well too, coming in at 14.0% and 10.6% respectively, as measured by the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indices. Fixed income did outstanding as well, with Emerging Market bonds, High Yield bonds and Investment Grade bonds all delivering around 10% for the period, helped by a large appetite for risk and falling rates. Asia credit returns, which is an important driver of the Emerging Markets bond index, had its best first half-year on record, and U.S. High Yield bonds had their best first half in 10 years. As a result, if history is any guide, it is reasonable to expect smaller gains for the remainder of the year (and possibly increased levels of volatility), as uncertainty regarding central bank guidelines, trade wars and a general sense of geopolitical instability conspires to potentially slow the global economy.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio invests 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 thesix-month period, the Portfolio outpaced the Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Index. The main drivers of performance were overweights to High Yield Bonds at the expense of Foreign Bonds, an underweight to Emerging Markets equities, and strong-performing underlying U.S. andNon-U.S. equity portfolios.
The underlying Fixed Income portfolios subtracted from relative performance over the first half of 2019. The worst performer was the Brighthouse/Templeton International Bond Portfolio, which underperformed its benchmark by 2.1%. The biggest detractors from performance resulted from underweighted duration exposure in the U.S., Europe and Japan, in addition to an overweight to the Argentine peso. The Brighthouse/Eaton Vance Floating Rate Portfolio also

underperformed for the period, returning 1.1% less than its benchmark. Performance was hurt by its cash holdings as the loan market advanced 5.7%, as well as security selection within Financial Intermediaries, Retailers and Oil & Gas industries. On the other hand, the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio outperformed its benchmark by 3.6% for the period. The portfolio benefitted from its allocation to corporate bonds as spreads tightened for both Investment Grade and High Yield securities. In addition, the portfolio benefitted from an overweight exposure to U.S. duration, as interest rates fell significantly over the first six months of the year.
The overall contribution from the underlying U.S. Equity portfolios added to relative performance for the period. Within the Portfolio’s Large Cap sleeve, the BlackRock Capital Appreciation Portfolio stood out as it outperformed its benchmark by 2.5%. The portfolio benefitted from strong security selection within the Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors, in addition to an underweight to the Biotechnologysub-sector of Healthcare. The MFS Value Portfolio was another positive contributor to relative performance as it outperformed its benchmark by 2.3%. The primary drivers of performance were security selection within the Financials and Consumer Staples sectors and an overweight to Industrials. The ClearBridge Aggressive Growth Portfolio was a detractor from relative performance as the portfolio returned 8.5% less than its benchmark. Leading drivers of underperformance were security selection within the Technology and Healthcare sectors, and overweights to Energy and Healthcare. Within the Mid Cap sleeve, the Morgan Stanley Discovery Portfolio, in particular, stood out, as it outperformed its benchmark by 17.6% for the period. Security selection within the Technology sector was by far the strongest contributor to the outperformance, but the portfolio also benefitted from security selection within the Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary, Financials and Communication Services sectors. Within the Small Cap sleeve, the Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio delivered the strongest relative performance as it outperformed its benchmark by 9.1% during the first six months of the year. The portfolio benefitted from its significant tilt towards Growth and Quality stocks versus its benchmark, along with favorable security selection in nine out of ten sectors.
TheNon-U.S. equity portfolios overall contributed to relative performance. The strongest relative performance came from the Baillie Gifford International Stock Portfolio, which outperformed its benchmark by 6.9% for the period. The main drivers of performance were security selection within the Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Technology and Basic Materials sectors, as well as an overweight to Technology and an underweight to Communication Services. The Brighthouse/Artisan International Portfolio was another strong performer, exceeding its benchmark by 6.4%. The outperformance was driven by security selection, particularly within the Financials, Materials and Industrials sectors. The Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio, however, underperformed its benchmark by 1.6%. The underperformance was primarily a result of underweight positioning to and security selection within the Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation sector, and overweight positioning and security selection in the Oil & Gas Exploration & Production sector.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 -The Asset Allocation Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Asset Allocation Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Asset Allocation Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Asset Allocation Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are valued at their closing daily 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 -The Asset Allocation Portfolio’s security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation 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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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
BHFTII-9
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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, 2019, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-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, 2019 were as follows:

$0 | | $ | 1,257,346,887 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 941,954,424 | |
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, 2019 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$2,683,040 | | | 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.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse Asset Allocation 80 Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, to pay to the Distributor a distribution fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A and B shares of the Brighthouse/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio returned 11.90% and 11.78%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI Worldex-U.S. Small Cap Index1, returned 12.88%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
In U.S. dollar terms, developedex-U.S. markets had positive performance for thesix-month period, trailing the U.S. market but outperforming emerging markets. The MSCI Worldex-USA IM Index (net dividends) returned 14.4%, as compared to 18.7% for the Russell 3000 Index and 10.1% for the MSCI Emerging Markets IM Index (net dividends). Some developedex-U.S. market currencies, such as the Canadian dollar and the Japanese yen, appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar, while others, such as the Swedish krona and the euro, depreciated.
Theoretical and empirical research suggests that investors can systematically pursue higher expected returns by targeting the size, relative price, and profitability dimensions in equity markets. Dimensional integrates these dimensions to emphasize stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative prices, and higher profitability. Along the market capitalization dimension, smaller market cap stocks underperformed larger market cap stocks. Large cap stocks (MSCI Worldex-U.S. Index, net dividends) returned 14.6%. Small cap stocks (MSCI Worldex- U.S. Small Cap Index, net dividends) returned 12.9%, and the smallest market cap stocks, micro caps (MSCI Worldex-U.S. Micro Cap Index, net dividends), had the lowest return of 10.0%.
It is important to consider the interactions between size, value, and profitability when reviewing the performance of the dimensions. Considering all three dimensions simultaneously, stocks with lower relative prices and higher profitability underperformed stocks with higher relative prices and lower profitability among both large and small caps. Performance of the premiums may vary depending on the particular segment of the market under analysis.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark by 98 basis points net of fees.
Withmicro-cap stocks underperforming small cap stocks for the period, the Portfolio’s greater allocation to micro caps detracted from relative performance. The Portfolio’s exclusion of stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative price also detracted from relative performance, as those securities outperformed. The Portfolio’s general exclusion of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) had a negative impact on relative performance, as REITs outperformed the overall index. Overall, currency movements had a positive impact on the US dollar-denominated returns of the developedex-U.S. market.
The Portfolio held over 3,900 securities as of June 30, 2019 and is well diversified across both countries and sectors. Dimensional designs the Portfolio to provide broad exposure to small cap securities withinnon-U.S. developed markets. As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance is determined principally by broad trends innon-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.
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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-47
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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

Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $1,523,120. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $15,508,214. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, 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 issuers 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/Dimensional International Small Company Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019—(Continued)
Management Fee Waivers- Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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% | | Of the first $100 million |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio returned 14.92%, 14.85%, and 14.83%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmarks, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index1 and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2, returned 18.54% and 6.11%, respectively. The Blended Index3, a blend of S&P 500 Index (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40%), returned 13.64%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
U.S. equities rose during thesix-month period ended June 30, 2019. During the first quarter 2019, U.S. equities rallied to their largest quarterly gain since 2009, buoyed by a dovish shift in Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) policy and guidance, optimism for a U.S.-China trade deal, relatively strong fourth-quarter earnings, and corporate buybacks. The Fed left its benchmark interest rate unchanged during the quarter, signaling a more patient approach toward future policy-rate adjustments in response to slowing economic growth and muted inflation. The Fed also announced that balance-sheet normalization would begin to slow in May and conclude in September 2019. During the second quarter, unresolved U.S. trade frictions with China, Mexico, Japan, and the European Union led to unsettled markets and raised concerns about the potential risks to U.S. economic growth such as increasing cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, and waning business confidence and investment plans. Tensions between the U.S. and China were particularly volatile, with negotiations abruptly breaking down in May prior to the two countries agreeing to halt incremental tariffs and resume trade negotiations when they met at the Group of 20 (G20) conference in June. In its June policy statement, the Fed highlighted its expectations for sustained economic growth, a strong labor market, and muted inflation pressures, but noted that increasing uncertainties to their outlook have strengthened the case for additional policy accommodation. Market sentiment was bolstered by better-than-expected first-quarter earnings despite concerns about peak margins and slowing growth.
Within the S&P 500 Index, all 11 sectors posted positive results for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Information Technology (+27.1%) and Consumer Discretionary (+21.8%) were the top performing sectors.
Over the period, global fixed income markets generated positive returns. Sovereign yields declined in most markets following dovish pivots by the Fed and European Central Bank (the “ECB”). Market sentiment soured at times over ongoing tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners, but corporate bond spreads tightened over the period following optimism over trade negotiations, supportive economic data, and expectations for central bank easing to reduce the costs of an adverse scenario in which trade, investment, and manufacturing dampen growth. Inflation showed no meaningful acceleration even as wage growth edged higher and oil prices posted a strong recovery. Central banks across most developed and emerging market countries eased monetary policy and/or signaled their intention to do so, thus supporting financial conditions. The U.S. dollar ended mixed as dovish monetary policy developments balanced global growth slowdown concerns. In the U.S., first quarter Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) slowed to a 2.2% annualized rate, housing activity softened, and inflation moderated, though wage growth accelerated.
Most spread sectors generated positive excess returns over the period. On an excess return basis, Emerging Markets Debt, Investment Grade Corporate Bonds, and High Yield posted positive results as credit spreads tightened.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed its Blended Index for the period ended June 30, 2019.
The equity portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2019. Strong stock selection within the Information Technology, Financials and Industrials sectors contributed the most to relative outperformance. This was partially offset by weaker stock selection within the Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Communication Services sectors.
Among the equity Portfolio’s largest individual contributors was not holding benchmark constituents Berkshire Hathaway (Financials) and AbbVie, Inc. (Health Care), as well as anout-of-benchmark position in Wayfair (Consumer Discretionary). We sold our position in Wayfair during the period. Top relative detractors included our out-of-benchmark position in Teva Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), an underweight to Apple (Information Technology), and an overweight to Bristol-Myers Squibb (Health Care).
The fixed income portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, for the first six months of the 2019 calendar year. Sector allocation contributed positively to relative performance. The Portfolio’s allocations to structured finance sectors—Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”),Non-Agency Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (“RMBS”), and Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”)—all contributed positively to returns. The Portfolio was positioned for rising inflation expectations by holding an allocation to Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”), which detracted slightly from performance as inflation expectations moderated. Allocations to High Yield and Bank Loans positively impacted relative returns as spread sectors benefited from signs of progress in U.S.-China trade talks and supportive economic fundamentals. The Portfolio’s duration/yield curve positioning had a negative impact on performance, due to a drop in global sovereign yields.
During the period, the fixed income portion of the Portfolio used Treasury futures, swaps, and options to manage duration and yield

Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
curve positioning. The Portfolio also used currency forwards, futures, and options to implementnon-U.S. rate and currency positions. Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”) were used to manage credit exposure, and Investment Grade and High Yield CDS index positions were used as a source of liquidity and to manage overall portfolio risk. Both High Yield and Investment Grade CDS positions were additive to relative performance during the period.
As a reminder, the equity portion of the Portfolio is managed in an industry-neutral structure relative to the benchmark, which promotes stock selection as the primary driver of performance. On an absolute basis, the Portfolio ended the period with the most exposure to the Information Technology, Health Care, and Financials sectors.
At period end, the analyst team remained focused on fundamental stock research. In the software industry, they found a number of holdings in cloud-based customer relationship management tools that became essential to enterprise performance. We believed that semiconductors could benefit from the upcoming “5G” cycle but are also subject to ongoing tariff risks. As such, the analyst team looked to invest in companies with advanced memory technology and less exposure to the Chinese supply chain. They also found opportunities in financial technology companies specializing in electronic payments, modernizing asset management technology, and providing financial data and security to consumers. Within Consumer Staples, the analyst teamre-positioned away from riskier areas of the sector to more stable, long-term compounding companies. We look to invest in companies that can take advantage of scale to capitalize on emerging trends and divest from failing businesses while also returning profits to shareholders. We hold market leaders across the food, beverages, and household product industries, which we believe have strong balance sheets and durable business models.
At the end of the period, the fixed income portion of the Portfolio had a near neutral duration posture. The Portfolio continued to be positioned for rising inflation expectations by maintaining an allocation to TIPS. The Portfolio was slightly underweight to Investment Grade Credit by the end of the period, in favor of Bank Loans, Contingent Convertibles, and Emerging Markets Debt. The Portfolio continued to be overweight to securitized sectors (CMBS, RMBS and CLOs), as we believed that positive consumer and commercial real estate fundamentals should continue to support most structured finance sectors.
At the end of the period, the Portfolio’s asset allocation breakdown was approximately a 61% allocation to equity and a 39% allocation to fixed income, which represented a marginal increase in the equity allocation and decrease in the fixed income allocation from the beginning of the period.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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.

(e) | | Significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of this portfolio security; i.e. Level 3. |
(f) | | 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. |
(g) | | Variable or floating rate security. The stated rate represents the rate at June 30, 2019. Maturity date shown for callable securities reflects the earliest possible call date. For securities based on a published reference index and spread, the index and spread are indicated in the description above. For certain variable rate securities, the coupon rate is determined by the issuer/agent based on current market conditions. For certain asset- and mortgage-backed securities, the coupon rate may fluctuate based on changes of the underlying collateral or prepayments of principal. These securities do not indicate a reference index and spread in their description above. |
(h) | | Interest only security. |
(i) | | Principal only security. |
(j) | | All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open centrally cleared swap contracts. As of June 30, 2019, the market value of securities pledged was $2,529,877. |

As of June 30, 2019, the market value of restricted securities was $2,501, which is 0.0% of net assets. See details shown in the Restricted Securities table that follows. |
(p) | | Security is a“step-up” bond where coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. Rate shown is current coupon rate. |
(q) | | 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 generally have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are determined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or a minimum rate. |
(r) | | This loan will settle after June 30, 2019, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |

(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. |
(e) | | Significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of this position; i.e. Level 3. |
(1) | | There is no upfront payment premium paid or (received) therefore Market Value equals Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation). |

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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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 Topic946- Financial Services- Investment Companies. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic820- Fair Value Measurement.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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”), currencies, and futures contracts that are traded OTC are generally valued on the basis of interdealer bid and ask 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) aremarked-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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-recognition or disclosure.
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 ofset-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 anyset-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, 2019, the Portfolio did not have any unfunded loan commitments.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds - The Portfolio may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted by the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value that is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
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.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls -The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sellsto-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.
TBA Purchase and 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 will occur beyond the customary settlement period. 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 Portfolio 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 atri-party repurchase agreement, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing any repurchase agreements. It is
BHFTII-43
Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $13,537,476. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $32,127,668. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.

Directed Brokerage Agreement -The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (“CAPIS”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to CAPIS in return for a recapture credit. CAPIS 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.

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 aremarked-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 areexchange-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 tend 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,
BHFTII-45
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 aremarked-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 subsequentlymarked-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 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 aremarked-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
BHFTII-46
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Balanced Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 equals the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2019, 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”; (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; and (4) basis swaps, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different segments of money markets. 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.
Total Return Swaps: The Portfolio may enter into total return swap agreements to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in that market or to transfer the risk/return of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g., equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the assets underlying the contract, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specific period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or floating rate or the total return from other underlying assets. When the Portfolio pays interest in exchange for the total return of an underlying asset and the value of the underlying asset decreases, the Portfolio may be required to pay the change in value to the counterparty in addition to the interest payment; conversely, when the Portfolio receives interest in exchange for the total return of an underlying asset and the value of the underlying asset decreases, the Portfolio may receive the change in value in addition to the interest payment. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Total return swaps can also be structured without an interest payment, so that one party pays the other party if the value of the underlying asset increases and receives payment from the other party if the value of the underlying asset decreases.
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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-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

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
5. Investment Transactions

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, 2019 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$2,778,958 | | | 0.500 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.450 | % | | Of the next $500 million |
| | | 0.400 | % | | On amounts in excess of $1 billion |

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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. $177,970 was waived in the aggregate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Brighthouse/Wellington Core Equity Opportunities Portfolio returned 20.94%, 20.79%, and 20.87%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index1, returned 18.84%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
U.S. equities rose during thesix-month period ended June 30, 2019. During the first quarter 2019, U.S. equities rallied to their largest quarterly gain since 2009, buoyed by a dovish shift in Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy and guidance, optimism for a U.S.-China trade deal, relatively strong fourth-quarter earnings, and corporate buybacks. The Fed left its benchmark interest rate unchanged during the quarter, signaling a more patient approach toward future policy-rate adjustments in response to slowing economic growth and muted inflation. The Fed also announced that balance-sheet normalization would begin to slow in May and conclude in September 2019. During the second quarter, unresolved U.S. trade frictions with China, Mexico, Japan, and the European Union led to unsettled markets and raised concerns about the potential risks to U.S. economic growth such as increasing cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, and waning business confidence and investment plans. Tensions between the U.S. and China were particularly volatile, with negotiations abruptly breaking down in May prior to the two countries agreeing to halt incremental tariffs and resume trade negotiations when they met at the Group of 20 (“G20”) conference in June. In its June policy statement, the Fed highlighted its expectations for sustained economic growth, a strong labor market, and muted inflation pressures, but noted that increasing uncertainties to their outlook have strengthened the case for additional policy accommodation. Market sentiment was bolstered by better-than-expected first-quarter earnings despite concerns about peak margins and slowing growth.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2019. Strong stock selection in Consumer Staples, Materials, and Health Care more than offset weaker security selection in Consumer Discretionary. Sector allocation, a result of thebottom-up stock selection process, detracted from relative performance due to the Portfolio’s underweight allocation to Information Technology (“IT”) and overweight allocations to Consumer Staples and Health Care.
The Portfolio’s positions in Danaher Corp. (Health Care), Ecolab Inc. (Materials), and Lockheed Martin (Industrials) were among the top relative contributors during the period. Not holding benchmark constituents Alphabet (Communication Services) and Berkshire Hathaway (Financials) also contributed to relative results. Danaher Corp. is a health care company that designs, manufactures, and markets professional, medical, industrial and commercial products and services. The stock continued to rise after the company reported first quarter earnings that beat estimates. We viewed Danaher Corp’s strong management team, diversified portfolio, and long-term fundamental roadmap favorably. In addition, the company’send-market exposure to secular trends in life sciences and diagnostics offered higher recurring revenue streams, increasing free cash flow margins, and improving returns on capital. The company has strong free cash flow growth and a low dividend payout ratio so the dividend has a long runway to grow. This, coupled with a management team that is committed to growing the dividend, makes this a position that fits very well with our philosophy and process.
The Portfolio’s position in 3M (Industrials), UnitedHealth Group (Health Care) and Medtronic (Health Care) coupled with our decision to hold benchmark constituents Facebook (Communication Services) and Apple (IT) detracted from relative performance. Shares of 3M dropped after the company missed first quarter estimates by more than 10%. Operating income dropped in all five business units with revenue falling 12% in the electronics and energy unit and over 6% in the industrial unit. During the period, we trimmed the Portfolio’s 3M position following the disappointing results but did not eliminate it, as we believe the market overreacted to the downside. The company remains well diversified across end markets and geographies and we believe many of the current issues are short-term in nature.
At the end of the period, the Portfolio was most overweight the Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Health Care sectors, and most underweight the IT, Communication Services, and Energy sectors.

1 The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged measure of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 90% of the investable U.S. equity market.
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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-half year period). |

Brighthouse/Wellington Core Equity Opportunities Portfolio
Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019 (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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Brighthouse/Wellington Core Equity Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-12
Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $6,000,769. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $16,064,434. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (“CAPIS”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to CAPIS in return for a recapture credit. CAPIS 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.

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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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

Management Fee Waivers- Pursuant to an expense agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 |
0.120% | | 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 April 30, 2018 through April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to $2,140,871 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. $579,310 was waived in the aggregate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B, D and E shares of the Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio returned 24.41%, 24.30%, 24.38%, and 24.30%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index1, returned 26.08%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Except for the month of May, the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index closed higher each month, allowing stocks to post solid gains during the period. The positive returns of the Index followed the 16% decline in the fourth quarter of 2018 when fears related to slowing global growth, rising interest rates and increasing trade tensions contributed to the market selloff. In May, leading indicators deteriorated again and trade talks with China collapsed resulting in both sides pledging to increase tariffs on additional goods.
In light of worsening economic data, growing trade tensions and persistent low inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) pivoted several times from slowing rate hikes, to pausing hikes, to a widely expected rate cut in the upcoming July meeting and more were anticipated in the second half of 2019. Globally, easing monetary policy in Europe and China also helped boost markets as central bankers around the world acknowledged the impact of slowing global economic growth. Finally, renewed hope of a trade deal drove the S&P 500 Index to new highs in June. This occurred despite earnings estimates for S&P 500 companies declining 3% for 2019 and 2020 during the most recent quarter while the index advanced 4.3% on expectations of easing monetary policies across major economies.
Against this backdrop of elevated volatility and new market highs, investors continued to prefer safe havens on one hand and high growth recurring revenue businesses on the other. Consequently, valuations in select areas of Information Technology (“IT”) and Consumer Staples continued their frothy advance. Nonetheless, the equity rally was quite broad based. A robust mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) environment fueled by low interest rates and high valuations along with ared-hot initial public offering (“IPO”) market contributed impressive gains across all ten sectors of the Russell Mid cap Growth Index.
The bifurcated nature of the market rally rewarded investors applying a barbell allocation strategy as both defensives like REITs and Utilities reached new levels and high growth stocks continued to appreciate, now trading at valuations not seen since the early 2000’s. Meanwhile cyclicals lagged on the economic concerns and trade fears.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
During thesix-month period, the Portfolio underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index. Broadly speaking, the Portfolio’s relative performance was hindered by negative stock selection in Consumer Discretionary and Financials offset partly by positive stock selection in Materials and IT.
In the Consumer Discretionary sector, the Portfolio’s largest detractor was luxury retailer Capri Holdings. The stock declined after the company lowered its June outlook due to weakness in its wholesale channel. Despite the near-term difficulty, Capri maintained its annual outlook as it makes progress in its retail channel and improves profitability of its Jimmy Choo and Versace brands. We were encouraged when even with this news management affirmed its long-term targets and later revealed management completed $20 million of insider buying to show conviction in the turnaround plan.
Within Financials, our investments in banks, such as Webster Financial Corporation and Texas Capital Bancshares reported solid earnings, but faced sentiment headwinds associated with dovish comments from the Fed.
The two largest detracting stocks from the Portfolio’s overall performance were Nutanix, Inc. and 2U, Inc. Cloud infrastructure provider Nutanix posted disappointing results due to sales execution missteps and headwinds from transitioning to a recurring software model from a hardware centric sales model. We still believe in Nutanix’s market opportunity, but have reduced our position due to the sales execution issues. 2U Inc., a provider of online degree programs fornot-for-profit colleges and universities, declined after it lowered sales outlook due to admission policy changes at partner universities. While it will take time to absorb these challenges, it does not alter 2U’s long-term secular appeal of enabling high quality online education. We believe the company has reset expectations appropriately and at period end we continued to hold the position.
Switching to contributors, our long-held investment in Global Payments Inc. contributed to performance as the company reported better-than-expected results and subsequently announced a merger with Total System Services. While Global Payments remains a good investment on its own merit, the combination will enable the company to increase its earnings power significantly due to economies of scale and improved cross selling opportunities. Another one of our large holdings, Ball Corporation, exceeded expectations as strong demand for its specialty cans drove revenue growth while higher prices and tight expense controls improved profitability. Ball continues to demonstrate multiple levers to increase shareholder value as it deploys cash to buy back shares and increase dividends. One of our newer positions, KBR, contributed to performance after posting better-than-expected results in its government services business while increasing the pipeline in its technology business. Over the past few years, KBR has repositioned its business away from the volatile engineering and construction market to more stable government services and technology work. Investors are beginning to reward KBR for its improved business model.
At period end, we continued to focus on companies that we believed had strong secular appeal, were positioned to gain share in growth markets and had initiatives to support shareholder returns. At period end, the Portfolio was overweight Health Care and Financials.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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, 2019 (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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-14
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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-15
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Frontier Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $6,049,219. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $31,627,246. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (“CAPIS”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to CAPIS in return for a recapture credit. CAPIS 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.

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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019—(Continued)
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, the Adviser has agreed, for the period April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 $150 million |
An identical agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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- Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees- The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B, Class D and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class D and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, to pay to the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class D and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets in the case of Class D shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2019 was as follows:
| | | | |
Cost basis of investments | | $ | 1,168,454,699 | |

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Jennison Growth Portfolio returned 21.03%, 20.89%, and 20.92%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index1, returned 21.49%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Markets were volatile in the first half of 2019, initially rebounding from asell-off in 2018’s final quarter that reflected mounting concerns about the risk of a major trade war with China, the pace of U.S. growth, decelerating expansion innon-U.S. economies, and U.S. interest rate increases. Fears subsided through the first four months of 2019, as the Federal Reserve signaled a pause in federal funds rate hikes, corporate earnings reports generally indicated continued strength, and sentiment grew that U.S.-China trade friction would be resolved. Markets abruptly changed course again in May as tradetensions—re-ignited by the threat of tariffs on essentially all U.S. imports from China, the U.S. government’s designation of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei as a national security risk, and potential tariffs on Mexican goods—created uncertainty and concern. U.S. housing and auto sales remained weak. Strong employment supported continued slight wage gains and consistent levels of consumer demand. However, trade friction weighed on consumer and business sentiment, and led to reduced gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth estimates. China used policy stimulus to blunt the impact of slowing exports, supporting stable, approximately 6% GDP growth. Growth in Europe remained soft. The U.K. economy slipped further toward recession amid unresolved Brexit (the U.K. proposal to leave the European Union) rancor and uncertainty.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio slightly underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index on anet-of-fees basis over thesix-month period ended June 30, 2019.
Consumer Discretionary holdings detracted from relative performance despite strength in Amazon (which continued to benefit from economies of scale and its platform-based business model), Alibaba (which has realized significant revenue synergies across its various segments, laying the groundwork for strong, durabletop-line growth), Chipotle (where improved efficiencies and comparable-store sales recovery increased earnings growth), and Lululemon Athletica (whose products, brand positioning, integrated marketing, and online sales momentum drove strong customer traffic, sales conversion, and comparable store sales). Tesla was the largest relative performance detractor in the sector. Its decline was tied to ongoing controversy surrounding CEO Elon Musk and concerns about vehicle production volumes and sustained demand for the Model 3.
In Information Technology (“IT”), transformation of the enterprise has become a strategic imperative across many industries and companies. In our view, Portfolio holdings Microsoft, Adobe, and Workday offer mission-critical cloud applications and services that are changing fundamentally the way businesses operate. Payments companies continued to benefit from the long-term shift from cash to electronic transactions. MasterCard and Visa held strong market positions with high barriers to entry, pricing power, and solid operating leverage potential. PayPal offered innovativelow-cost, high-security,easy-to-use digital payment options, especially for mobile and online transactions. Qualcomm declined on a negative U.S. District Court ruling in a case brought by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. We did not believe this ruling threatened the recent multiyear patent licensing and chipset supply agreement with Apple.
In Communications Services, Netflix continued to raise its competitive barriers with investments in content, resulting in strong subscriber growth and increased pricing and operating leverage. Despite ongoing concern about data privacy, Facebook showed resilience, with solid engagement metrics and strong revenue growth, as advertisers continued to seek the reach and targeting Facebook provides. Video game publisher Activision Blizzard was hurt by signs of slowing growth momentum. The Portfolio’s position in Activision was eliminated during the period.
Consumer Staples positions were strong contributors to positive absolute and relative performance. Estée Lauder has enhanced its strong brand portfolio in the fast-growing luxury beauty care market with complementary acquisitions and subsequent brand development. Emerging markets, especially China, have been key drivers of the company’s growth. Costco Wholesale’s consistent stream of membership fee income allows for low prices and broad product selection, which lead to high inventory turnover.

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 2019’s first six months were largely stable. Relative to the Russell 1000Growth benchmark, the Portfolio’s biggest overweight was in IT; its biggest underweight was in Industrials.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Jennison Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-13
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Jennison Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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-14

Jennison Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-recognition or disclosure.
Due to Custodian - Pursuant to the custodian agreement, the Custodian 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 the Custodian at the current rate of interest charged by the Custodian for secured loans (currently, the federal funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to the Custodian. The Custodian has a lien on the Portfolio’s assets to the extent of any overdraft. At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had a payment of $17,070,470 due to the Custodian 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, 2019 If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2019. The Portfolio’s average overdraft advances during the period ended June 30, 2019 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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $48,087,335. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $63,936,535. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Directed Brokerage Agreement - The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (“CAPIS”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to CAPIS in return for a recapture credit. CAPIS 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.
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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019 were as follows:

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 April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 |
0.100% | | Of the first $200 million |
0.050% | | On the next $800 million |
0.100% | | On the next $1 billion |
0.080% | | On amounts in excess of $2 billion |
An identical expense agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2019 was as follows:

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio returned 19.52%, 19.38%, and 19.44%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index1, returned 16.98%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Stocks staged a remarkable rally to begin 2019, resulting in one of the best starts to a calendar year in decades regaining much of the ground lost during the fourth quarter of 2018. The rebound centered upon more dovish comments and policy from the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) regarding the path forward in interest rate normalization. This marked a notable reversal from the policy direction in late 2018, and seemed to stem from a modest downshift in global economic trends near the beginning of the year. With fears of potential Fed policy headwinds abated, interest rates declined across the yield curve and expanded valuation multiples drove equities higher. After a remarkable rally during the first nine weeks of 2019, U.S. stocks then trended flat to down through late May, reflecting softening global economic data, concerns over the Fed having “over tightened” in 2018, and heightened activity and rhetoric in regard to international trade and tariffs. By early June however, expectations for future easing by the Fed became the prevailing consensus belief, resulting in a downward shift in interest rates again and are-steepening of the yield curve and a healthy recovery in stock prices to finish the quarter. U.S. stocks finished significantly higher for the period across all market cap ranges and investment styles. Of note was the outperformance of large cap stocks over small caps, with the S&P 500 Index up 18.5% for the period versus a 17.0% return of the small cap Russell 2000 Index, while growth stocks continued their dominance over value stocks across all market capitalizations. For the first six months of the year, small cap growth stocks as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 20.4% compared to the Russell 2000 Value Index return of 13.5%.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio outperformed the Russell 2000 Index, net of fees, during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Portfolio began the year with a slight performance advantage over the Index but as the second quarter unfolded, relative performance steadily improved as the market rewarded the stocks in the Portfolio. From a macro perspective, the Portfolio benefitted from being positioned in the upper half of the capitalization range as well as owning stocks with good profitability characteristics (such as high return on equity) while avoiding stocks with negative earnings which lagged the market. Over the six month period, stock selection was the primary driver of positive relative return versus the Index, while sector allocation had a small but positive effect. Good stock selection contributed to relative return in almost every economic sector with particular strength in the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology (“IT”) and Financials sectors while an overweight position in the Industrials and IT sectors added relative return as those were the two best performing sectors in the Index. The Health Care sector detracted from performance due to weak stock selection as did an overweight to the underperforming Consumer Staples sector.
The Portfolio’s top individual contributors include Euronet Worldwide, Armstrong World Industries and Catalent Inc. Euronet provides electronic financial transaction solutions worldwide offering money transfer (similar to Western Union) and managing ATM networks for itself and others. The company experienced strong performance in all of their operating segments, although electronic funds transfer has been especially strong in the wake of VISA permitting dynamic currency conversion on transactions globally. Armstrong World Industries is the global leader in commercial and residential ceiling and wall design and manufacturing. The stock performed well as a result of improving financial performance from new product introductions in its Mineral Fiber division, growing success from its Architectural Specialties division, and small acquisitions to complement its existing business. Catalent is the largest contract manufacturer of final dosage form drug compounds globally and has expanded its manufacturing and formulation expertise in biologics compounds. The company’s acquisition of Paragon Bioservices, a leading viral vector development and manufacturing company, was well received by investors.
The largest detractors to performance on a security level were Urban Outfitters, Green Dot Corporation and Vocera Communications. Urban Outfitters sells apparel and home merchandise mostly through its own retail stores ande-commerce sites. The company reported very disappointing first quarter results, and projected a weak financial outlook for the second quarter. Consumer finance company Green Dot reported results that were ahead of expectations for the most part, however guidance was disappointing. Growth was expected to moderate, particularly in active card users, and investors reacted negatively. Vocera Communications provides voice communication solutions for mobile workers primarily in the healthcare field. The cause of the downward volatility on the stock was a much more cautious view on 2019 revenue and earnings due to a product upgrade cycle and the possible disruption to the business as a result.
During the period, we added new stocks with attractive investment potential and eliminated holdings where the valuation has exceeded our target levels or where fundamentals no longer fit our investment thesis. New positions included Arcosa Inc., Americold Realty Trust and ASGN Inc. Arcosa is aspin-off from Trinity Industries representing the specialty aggregates, rail components and inland barge construction businesses and stands to benefit from the expanding market for rail components and inland barges. Americold is the only publicly traded REIT focused on temperature controlled storage and food distribution and has created competitive advantages by using technology and logistics to become a value added part of the supply chain. ASGN is an IT and professional services staffing company and offers a differentiated service by providing project and budget tracking capabilities. Positions eliminated included:

Portfolio Manager Commentary*—(Continued)
CommVault Systems, Vocera Communications, and Green Dot Corp. CommVault provides mission critical software applications designed to protect and manage enterprise data and has been facing increasing competitive threats through newstart-up companies in addition to challenges due to changes in the company’s sales force. The positions in Vocera Communications and Green Dot Corp were both sold after they triggered our stop-loss.
We manage the Portfolio in a bottom up fashion focusing on selecting stocks that fit our investment philosophy and process. The economic backdrop is a consideration in the analysis of each security’s investment potential, but we do not make portfolio or sector changes using a macro lens. Sector weight changes during the period ended June 30, 2019 were modest and reflected both our repositioning within the Portfolio as well as market impacts. As a result of individual stock selection, our weights in the IT and Financials sectors were reduced and our weights in the Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors increased.

1 The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged measure of performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index.
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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-16
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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 theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-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, 2019—(Continued)
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $8,927,192. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $21,940,915. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
Directed Brokerage Agreement -The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (“CAPIS”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to CAPIS in return for a recapture credit. CAPIS 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.
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 issuers 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 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
BHFTII-18
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Core Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
assessment, and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019 were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2019 was as follows:
| | | | |
Cost basis of investments | | $ | 344,743,192 | |

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio returned 22.00%, 21.85%, and 21.92%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index1, returned 20.36%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Stocks staged a remarkable rally to begin 2019, resulting in one of the best starts to a calendar year in decades regaining much of the ground lost during the fourth quarter of 2018. The rebound centered upon more dovish comments and policy from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) regarding the path forward in interest rate normalization. This marked a notable reversal from the policy direction in late 2018 and seemed to stem from a modest downshift in global economic trends near the beginning of the year. With fears of potential Fed policy headwinds abated, interest rates declined across the yield curve and expanded valuation multiples drove equities higher. After a remarkable rally during the first nine weeks of 2019, U.S. stocks then trended flat to down through late May, reflecting softening global economic data, concerns over the Fed having “over tightened” in 2018, and heightened activity and rhetoric regarding international trade and tariffs. By early June however, expectations for future easing by the Fed became the prevailing consensus belief, resulting in a downward shift in interest rates again and are-steepening of the yield curve and a healthy recovery in stock prices to finish the quarter. U.S. stocks finished significantly higher for the period across all market cap ranges and investment styles. Of note was the outperformance of large cap stocks over small caps, with the S&P 500 Index up 18.5% for the period versus a 17.0% return of the small cap Russell 2000 Index, while growth stocks continued their dominance over value stocks across all market capitalizations. For the first six months of the year, small cap growth stocks as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 20.4% compared to the Russell 2000 Value Index return of 13.5%.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio posted a return of 22.00%, outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index over the first six months of the year. The excess returns were due primarily to stock selection within the Information Technology (“IT”) and Financials sectors. Stock selection in the Health Care sector detracted from performance.
The Portfolio’s top contributors to performance were Rapid7, Kinsale Capital Group and Q2 Holdings. Security software company Rapid7 reported strong results during the period as it continued to effectively execute its transition to a subscription-based revenue model. Kinsale Capital Group is a property and casualty insurance company focused on the excess and supply market. The company reported strong results with robust premium growth that accelerated as competition exited the market. Q2 Holdings, a cloud based digital banking software provider, was another strong performer. The company reported accelerating sales growth and expanded its addressable market through thoughtful acquisitions.
The largest detractors to performance were Green Dot Corporation, Vocera Communications and PlayAGS. Consumer finance company Green Dot reported results that were ahead of expectations, however, guidance was disappointing. The company’s growth was expected to moderate, particularly in active card users, and investors reacted negatively. Vocera Communications provides software and communications systems to health care facilities. The company provided disappointing guidance due to a product transition. Green Dot and Vocera were both sold after they triggered our stop-loss during the period. PlayAGS designs and supplies electronic gaming machines and other products to the gaming industry. The company reported revenues that were just short of expectations as weather and geographic mix of sales weighed on results.
There were some changes to the Portfolio’s sector weights during thesix-month period ended June 30, 2019. The most significant absolute weighting change was to Industrials, where the exposure increased. This increase was due largely to market action, along with a new purchase in the air freight and logistics group. The relative weightings changed more over this time period, due largely to the Russell 2000 Growth Index rebalance, which happened on June 28, 2019. As a result of the rebalance, the Portfolio’s overweight to the Consumer Discretionary sector increased; an overweight to the IT sector decreased and an underweight to the Health Care sector

increased significantly. The majority of the underweight in the Health Care sector is due to the Portfolio’s underweight position in the biotechnology industry. As always, the sector weights in the Portfolio are the result of individual investment decisions.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-13
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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 theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $11,800,274. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $16,094,579. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
Directed Brokerage Agreement -The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (“CAPIS”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to CAPIS in return for a recapture credit. CAPIS 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.
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 issuers 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 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
BHFTII-15
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019 were as follows:

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 April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 $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 April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.

BHFTII-16
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2019 was as follows:
| | | | |
Cost basis of investments | | $ | 286,166,353 | |

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the MetLife Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio returned 6.09%, 5.94%, 6.05%, and 5.94%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1, returned 6.11%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) met four times during the6-month period with no change made to the Federal Funds Rate, ending the period in the 2.25%—2.50% target range. The FOMC noted that the labor market remained strong and that economic activity had risen at a moderate rate. Data suggested that while household spending appeared to pick up during the year, business fixed investment had been soft. The FOMC stated that they continue to view sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near the 2% objective as the most likely outcomes. However, given uncertainties and muted inflation pressures, the FOMC stated that it intends to act as appropriate to sustain the expansion.
Markets rallied from a weak end to 2018 to close the first half of 2019 near record highs. Trade war concerns between the United States and China created volatility in the markets as news continuously changed from positive to negative. Employment remained steady and the unemployment rate continued to sit near record low levels. Manufacturing and industrial production also remained strong but weakened during the second quarter. The3-month/10-year part of the U.S. Treasury curve inverted in May, while rates on aggregate decreased during the first half of 2019. The difference between the10-year and30-year U.S. Treasury increased from 0.33% to 0.52%, while the2-year and10-year differential decreased from 0.31% to 0.25%. The10-year decreased 0.68% to 2.01% and the30-year decreased 0.49% to 2.53%.
The Index returned 6.11% in the first half of 2019. Corporates were the best performing sector during the period, returning 9.85%. Asset Backed Securities was the worst performing sector during the period, returning 3.17%. Credit risk decreased slightly as option adjusted spreads narrowed 7 basis points across the Index. Corporate debt was the most sensitive, with sector spreads narrowing by 39 basis points and BBB-rated corporate spreads narrowing by 46 basis points.
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, and contributions and withdrawals.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
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 theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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.
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 will occur beyond the customary settlement period. 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 Portfolio 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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $68,910,457. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-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.

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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-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.

Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B, Class E and Class G shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class G shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class.

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.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio returned 17.81%, 17.72%, 17.78%, and 17.63%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Mid Cap 400 Index1, returned 17.97%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
During the first six months of 2019, equity markets reacted favorably to progress in trade talks with China, a more dovish Federal Reserve, and the strength of corporate earnings. Companies that reported better than expected earnings included Goldman Sachs, American Express, IBM, and Procter & Gamble. Energy stocks rallied as crude prices climbed after Saudi Arabia formally implemented production constraints. Financial stocks were hurt by the yield curve inverting for the first time since 2007. Equity markets extended their rally as the U.S. and Mexico agreed on an immigration enforcement deal and on increasing expectations for easier monetary policy. Federal Reserve official comments stating that they expected to keep rates unchanged for the rest of the year reassured the markets. Equity markets also reacted favorably to optimism around the meeting between President Trump and China President Xi during the G20 summit. Factors that weighed on the equity markets included continued concerns about Brexit, geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, and the International Monetary Fund downgrading its global growth forecast to the lowest level since the financial crisis.
During the first six months, the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) met four times and decided to maintain the target range for the Federal Funds Rate at 2.25%—2.50%. The FOMC stated that the labor market remained strong and that economic activity was rising at a moderate rate. The FOMC also stated that job gains had been solid, and the unemployment rate had remained low.
All eleven sectors comprising the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index experienced positive returns for the first six months of 2019. Information Technology (15.3% beginning weight in the benchmark), up 27.2%, was the best-performing sector and had the largest positive impact on the benchmark return. Industrials (15.4% beginning weight), up 24.1%; and Financials (16.4% beginning weight), up 18.9%, were the next best-performing sectors. Energy (3.7% beginning weight), up 0.3%; and Consumer Staples (3.0% beginning weight), up 5.8%, were the worst performing sectors on a relative basis.
The stocks with the largest positive impact on the benchmark return for the first half of the year were Universal Display, up 101.2%; Leidos Holdings, up 52.9%; and MarketAxess Holdings, up 52.7%. The stocks with the largest negative impact were Covetrus, down 40.4%; Green Dot, down 37.3%; and United Therapeutics, down 28.3%.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / CURRENT POSITIONING
The Portfolio is managed utilizing a full replication strategy versus the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index. This strategy seeks to replicate the performance of the Index by owning all the components of the Index at their respective Index capitalization weights. The Portfolio is periodically rebalanced for compositional changes in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index. Factors that impact tracking error include transaction costs, cash drag, securities lending, net asset value (NAV) rounding, and contributions and withdrawals.

1 The 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.
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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. |

Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019 (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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-17
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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-18
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $19,699,925. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, 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-19
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 aremarked-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 areexchange-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, 2019 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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B, Class E and Class G shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class G shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class G shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares, 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares and 0.30% of average daily net assets in the case of Class G shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the MetLife MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio returned 14.35%, 14.18%, 14.33%, and 14.15%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index1, returned 14.03%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
During the first six months of 2019, equity markets reacted favorably to progress in trade talks with China, a more dovish Federal Reserve, and the strength of corporate earnings. Companies that reported better than expected earnings included Goldman Sachs, American Express, IBM, and Procter & Gamble. Energy stocks rallied as crude prices climbed after Saudi Arabia formally implemented production constraints. Financial stocks were hurt by the yield curve inverting for the first time since 2007. Equity markets extended their rally as the U.S. and Mexico agreed on an immigration enforcement deal and on increasing expectations for easier monetary policy. Federal Reserve official comments stating that they expected to keep rates unchanged for the rest of the year reassured the markets. Equity markets also reacted favorably to optimism around the meeting between President Trump and China President Xi during the G20 summit. Factors that weighed on the equity markets included continued concerns about Brexit, geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, and the International Monetary Fund downgrading its global growth forecast to the lowest level since the financial crisis.
The U.S. dollar weakened during thesix-month period, which positively impacted the U.S. investors’ MSCI EAFE Index return versus the local currency return by approximately 0.35%.
Alltwenty-one countries comprising the MSCI EAFE Index experienced positive returns for the year. Switzerland (8.7% beginning weight in the benchmark), up 23.7%, was the best-performing country. New Zealand (0.2% beginning weight), up 21.7%; and Australia (6.9% beginning weight), up 20.9%, were the next best-performing countries. Israel (0.5% beginning weight), up 6.3%; and Japan (24.6% beginning weight), up 8.1% were the worst performing countries on a relative basis.
The stocks in the MSCI EAFE Index with the largest positive impact on the benchmark return for the year were SAP, up 40.2%; Nestle, up 31.4%; and Novartis, up 25.7%. The stocks with the largest negative impact were Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, down 40.1%; Seven & I Holdings, down 21.6%; and Vodafone Group, down 13.0%.
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, net asset value (NAV) rounding, and 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.
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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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, 2019 (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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-20
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife MSCI EAFE Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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

Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $23,063,828. The 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-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.

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 aremarked-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 areexchange-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, 2019 by category of risk exposure:
| | | | | | |
| | Asset 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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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.

0.040% | | Of the next $500 million |
0.020% | | On amounts over $1 billion |
Fees earned by MIM with respect to the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $225,420.
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, the Adviser has agreed, for the period April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B, Class E and Class G shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class G shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class G shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares, 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares and 0.30% of average daily net assets in the case of Class G shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio returned 17.08%, 16.92%, 16.94%, and 16.84%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index1, returned 16.98%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
During the first six months of 2019, equity markets reacted favorably to progress in trade talks with China, a more dovish Federal Reserve, and the strength of corporate earnings. Companies that reported better than expected earnings included Goldman Sachs, American Express, IBM, and Procter & Gamble. Energy stocks rallied as crude prices climbed after Saudi Arabia formally implemented production constraints. Financial stocks were hurt by the yield curve inverting for the first time since 2007. Equity markets extended their rally as the U.S. and Mexico agreed on an immigration enforcement deal and on increasing expectations for easier monetary policy. Federal Reserve official comments stating that they expected to keep rates unchanged for the rest of the year reassured the markets. Equity markets also reacted favorably to optimism around the meeting between President Trump and China President Xi during the G20 summit. Factors that weighed on the equity markets included continued concerns about Brexit, geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, and the International Monetary Fund downgrading its global growth forecast to the lowest level since the financial crisis.
During the first six months, the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) met four times and decided to maintain the target range for the Federal Funds Rate at 2.25%—2.50%. The FOMC stated that the labor market remained strong and that economic activity was rising at a moderate rate. The FOMC also stated that job gains had been solid, and the unemployment rate had remained low.
All nine sectors comprising the Russell 2000 Index experienced positive returns for the first six months of 2019. Technology (13.5% beginning weight in the benchmark), up 22.7%, was the best-performing sector. Materials & Processing (6.1% beginning weight), up 21.2%; and Producer Durables (13.5% beginning weight), up 20.9%, were the next best-performing sectors. Consumer Staples (2.5% beginning weight), up 4.8%; and Energy (3.5% beginning weight), up 11.1%, were the worst performing sectors on a relative basis.
The stocks with the largest positive impact on the benchmark return for the first half of the year were Array BioPharma, up 225.1%; Coupa Software, up 101.4%; and The Trade Desk, up 96.3%. The stocks with the largest negative impact were Stamps.com, down 70.9%; Cloudera, down 52.4%; and Green Dot, down 38.5%.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
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, net asset value (NAV) rounding, and 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.
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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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 Russell 2000 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $23,828,826. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-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.

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 aremarked-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 areexchange-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, 2019 by category of risk exposure:
| | | | | | |
| | Asset Derivatives | |
Risk Exposure | | Statement of Assets & Liabilities Location | | Fair Value | |
Equity | | Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts (a) | | $ | 109,212 | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
(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, 2019:
| | | | |
Statement of Operations Location—Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Equity | |
Futures contracts | | $ | 46 | |
| | | | |
| |
Statement of Operations Location—Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | Equity | |
Futures contracts | | $ | 249,343 | |
| | | | |
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, 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 | | $ | 9,417,185 | |
| | | | |
‡ | | Averages are based on activity levels during the period for which the amounts are outstanding. |
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 issuers 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
BHFTII-31
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
stability of those counterparties. The 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 fornon-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 atpre-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.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”), which provide the rights toset-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, 2019 were as follows:

Fees earned by MIM with respect to the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $158,451.
Management Fee Waiver -Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 |

MetLife Russell 2000 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
An identical agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 - Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B, Class E and Class G shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class G shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class G shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares, 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares and 0.30% of average daily net assets in the case of Class G shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2019 was as follows:

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B, D, E and G shares of the Brighthouse Stock Index Portfolio returned 18.37%, 18.24%, 18.34%, 18.28% and 18.23%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index1, returned 18.54%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
During the first six months of 2019, equity markets reacted favorably to progress in trade talks with China, a more dovish Federal Reserve, and the strength of corporate earnings. Companies that reported better than expected earnings included Goldman Sachs, American Express, IBM, and Procter & Gamble. Energy stocks rallied as crude prices climbed after Saudi Arabia formally implemented production constraints. Financial stocks were hurt by the yield curve inverting for the first time since 2007. Equity markets extended their rally as the U.S. and Mexico agreed on an immigration enforcement deal and on increasing expectations for easier monetary policy. Federal Reserve official comments stating that they expected to keep rates unchanged for the rest of the year reassured the markets. Equity markets also reacted favorably to optimism around the meeting between President Trump and China President Xi during the G20 summit. Factors that weighed on the equity markets included continued concerns about Brexit (U.K. plan to leave the European Union), geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, and the International Monetary Fund downgrading its global growth forecast to the lowest level since the financial crisis.
During the first six months, the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) met four times and decided to maintain the target range for the Federal Funds Rate at 2.25%—2.50%. The FOMC stated that the labor market remained strong and that economic activity was rising at a moderate rate. The FOMC also stated that job gains had been solid, and the unemployment rate had remained low.
All eleven sectors comprising the S&P 500 Index experienced positive returns for the first six months of 2019. Information Technology (20.1% beginning weight in the benchmark), up 27.1%, was the best-performing sector and had the largest positive impact on the benchmark return. Consumer Discretionary (9.9% beginning weight), up 21.8%; and Industrials (9.2% beginning weight), up 21.4%, were the next best-performing sectors. Health Care (15.5% beginning weight), up 8.1%; and Energy (5.3% beginning weight), up 13.1%, were the worst performing sectors on a relative basis.
The stocks with the largest positive impact to the benchmark return for the first half of the year were Microsoft, up 32.9%; Apple, up 26.5%; and Amazon, up 26.1%. The stocks with the largest negative impact were Biogen, down 22.3%; Abbvie, down 19.1%; and CVS, down 15.4%.
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 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, net asset value (NAV) rounding, and contributions and withdrawals.

1 The 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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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.

(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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-19
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus.Book-tax differences are primarily due to adjustments to prior period accumulated balances. 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-20
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $175,508,962. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.

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 aremarked-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 areexchange-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, 2019 by category of risk exposure:
| | | | | | |
| | Asset Derivatives | |
Risk Exposure | | Statement of Assets & Liabilities Location | | Fair Value | |
Equity | | Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts (a) | | $ | 190,796 | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
(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, 2019:

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 issuers 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

MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
stability of those counterparties. The 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 fornon-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 atpre-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.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MetLife Stock Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B, Class D, Class E and Class G shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class D, Class E and Class G shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class D, Class E and Class G shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets in the case of Class D shares, 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares and 0.30% of average daily net assets in the case of Class G shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B, E and F shares of the MFS Total Return Portfolio returned 12.84%, 12.69%, 12.75%, and 12.73%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmarks, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index1 and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2, returned 18.54% and 6.11%, respectively. A blend of the S&P 500 Index (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40%) returned 13.64%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Changes in market sentiment, driven largely by uncertainty over the outcome of trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, contributed to periodic bouts of volatility during the reporting period. The global economy decelerated throughout the period, led by weakness in China and Europe.
The deteriorating global growth backdrop, along with declining inflationary pressures, prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to adopt a more dovish policy stance during the first half of 2019, which resulted in a sharp decline in long-term interest rates during the period, inverting portions of the Treasury yield curve. Consequently, markets anticipate several Fed rate cuts in the coming quarters.
Globally, central banks tilted more dovish as well, with China lowering reserve requirements, the Bank of Canada and Bank of England holding rates steady and the European Central Bank extending alow-interest-rate refinancing facility for eurozone banks to encourage the continued flow of credit and to hold out the possibility of further lowering rates and resuming asset purchases.
Emerging markets experienced considerable volatility during the period as tighter global financial conditions exposed structural weakness in some countries. Those pressures were somewhat relieved toward the end of the period as the Fed became more dovish. Diminished hopes for a trade deal between the U.S. and China weighed on sentiment at the end of the period. Idiosyncratic factors negatively impacted some emerging economies, such as Argentina and Turkey.
From a geopolitical perspective, a change in leadership in the United Kingdom, caused by a lack of consensus on the best path toward Brexit (the U.K. proposal to leave the European Union), a fractious Eurosceptic Italian coalition government and a weakening of Angela Merkel’s grip on the German chancellorship were sources of uncertainty in Europe. In emerging markets, new Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro took office, with markets generally encouraged by his market-friendly agenda. In contrast, markets appeared to have been nervous about the less-market-friendly approach of Mexico’s new president Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
Within the equity portion of the Portfolio, a combination of underweighting and stock selection in the Information Technology (“IT”) sector held back performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. Within this sector, the Portfolio’s underweight positions in software giant Microsoft and computer and personal electronics maker Apple, and not owning debit and credit transaction processing company MasterCard, held back relative returns.
Elsewhere, not owning shares of strong-performing social networking service provider Facebook weakened relative results. The Portfolio’s overweight positions in shares of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, global health services provider Cigna, global financial services provider Bank of New York Mellon, drug store operator Walgreens Boots Alliance and health care provider Humana negatively impacted relative performance. Additionally, an underweight position in internet retailer Amazon.com held back relative results.
Within the fixed income portion of the Portfolio, the Portfolio’s shorter duration stance weighed on results relative to the Bloomberg Index.
Within the equity portion of the Portfolio, stock selection and an overweight position in the Industrials sector helped performance relative to the S&P 500 Index, led by the Portfolio’s overweight holdings of automotive components supplier Johnson Controls International and building and airplane controls manufacturer Honeywell International.
Stock selection within the Financials sector also boosted relative results. Here, avoiding insurance and investment firm Berkshire Hathaway, and overweighting shares of diversified financial services firm Citigroup and risk management and human capital consulting services provider AON, aided relative returns.
Individual stocks that benefited relative returns included the Portfolio’s underweight holding of technology company Alphabet and the Portfolio’s avoidance of pharmaceutical company Abbvie and health insurance and Medicare/Medicaid provider UnitedHealth Group. Additionally, the Portfolio’s overweight positions in shares of healthcare equipment manufacturer Danaher and IT servicing firm Accenture further contributed to relative performance.
Within the fixed income portion of the Portfolio, an underweight exposure to the Treasury sector boosted performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Security selection within the Industrials sector also aided relative results.
Over the trailing six months ended June 30, 2019, the Portfolio’s equity portion increased its exposure to IT, Industrials and Financials. In contrast, exposure to Health Care, Consumer Staples and Communication Services were reduced. At the end of the period, the equity portion was most overweight Financials, Industrials and Health Care, while being the most underweight IT, Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary. Over the period, the fixed income allocation had a small increase to corporate debt, while

slightly reducing its exposure to government debt and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”). At the end of the period, the fixed income portion of the Portfolio was overweight Mortgage-Backed Securities, CMBS, collateralized debt obligations and corporate debt and underweight government, international and agency debt.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Total Return Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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 tradedover-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

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 registeredopen-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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus.Book-tax differences are primarily due to adjustments to prior period accumulated balances. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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.
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.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls - The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sellsto-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.
TBA Purchase and 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 will occur beyond the customary settlement period. 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 Portfolio 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 atri-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
BHFTII-26
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Total Return Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
repurchase agreement ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $7,062,812. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $31,133,150. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
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.

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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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.
4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, including mortgage dollar rolls and TBA transactions but excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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. Massachusetts Financial Services Company (the “Subadviser”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Transfer Agency Agreement - Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B, Class E and Class F shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class F shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class F shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares, 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares and 0.20% of average daily net assets in the case of Class F shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2019 was as follows:
| | | | |
Cost basis of investments | | $ | 703,653,962 | |

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B, D and E shares of the MFS Value Portfolio returned 18.57%, 18.46%, 18.53%, and 18.53%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index1, returned 16.24%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Changes in market sentiment, driven largely by uncertainty over the outcome of trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, contributed to periodic bouts of volatility during the reporting period. The global economy decelerated throughout the period, led by weakness in China and Europe.
The deteriorating global growth backdrop, along with declining inflationary pressures, prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) to adopt a more dovish policy stance during the first half of 2019, which resulted in a sharp decline in long-term interest rates during the period, inverting portions of the Treasury yield curve. Consequently, markets anticipate several Fed rate cuts in the coming quarters.
Globally, central banks tilted more dovish as well, with China lowering reserve requirements, the Bank of Canada and Bank of England holding rates steady and the European Central Bank extending alow-interest-rate refinancing facility for eurozone banks to encourage the continued flow of credit and to hold out the possibility of further lowering rates and resuming asset purchases.
Emerging markets experienced considerable volatility during the period as tighter global financial conditions exposed structural weakness in some countries. Those pressures were somewhat relieved toward the end of the period as the Fed became more dovish. Diminished hopes for a trade deal between the U.S. and China weighed on sentiment at the end of the period. Idiosyncratic factors negatively impacted some emerging economies, such as Argentina and Turkey.
From a geopolitical perspective, a change in leadership in the United Kingdom, caused by a lack of consensus on the best path toward Brexit (the U.K. proposal to leave the European Union), a fractious Eurosceptic Italian coalition government and a weakening of Angela Merkel’s grip on the German chancellorship were sources of uncertainty in Europe. In emerging markets, new Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro took office, with markets generally encouraged by his market-friendly agenda. In contrast, markets appeared to have been nervous about the less-market-friendly approach of Mexico’s new president Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Portfolio posted positive results and outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index. Overall, a combination of sector allocation and stock selection led to the outperformance.
An overweight allocation to the strong-performing Industrialssector contributed to performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index. Within this sector, overweight positions in automotive components supplier Johnson Controls International and diversified technology and manufacturing company Honeywell, and holdings of global security company Northrop Grumman, bolstered relative results.
Stock selection in both the Financials and Consumer Staplessectorssupported relative returns. Within the Financials sector, holdings of risk management and human capital consulting services provider Aon, not owning insurance and investment firm Berkshire Hathaway and an overweight position in property and casualty insurer Travelers Companies helped relative performance. Within the Consumer Staplessector, holdings of global food company Nestle (Switzerland) boosted relative results.
Elsewhere, holdings of IT servicing firm Accenture, not owning semiconductor company Intel and an overweight position in healthcare equipment manufacturer Danaher also helped in relative terms.
Individual stocks that hampered relative returns included overweight positions in global health services provider Cigna, diversified technology company 3M, power & natural gas distributor Duke Energy, custody bank State Street, medical device maker Medtronic, global financial services provider Bank of New York Mellon and diversified financial services firm Wells Fargo. Additionally, not owning network equipment company Cisco Systems and diversified industrial conglomerate General Electric detracted from relative performance.
The Portfolio’s cash and/or cash equivalents position during the period was also a detractor from relative performance. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio strives to be fully invested and generally holds cash to buy new holdings and to provide liquidity. In a period when equity markets rose, as measured by the Portfolio’s benchmark, holding cash hurt performance versus the benchmark, which has no cash position.
Over the trailingsix-month period ending June 30, 2019, the most significant changes to the Portfolio include our increased absolute exposure to the Utilities, Industrials, and Financials sectors. Conversely, the Portfolio’s largest decreased exposures at a sector level

included reduced absolute exposure to Consumer Staples, Communication Services, and Health Care.
At the end of the period, the Portfolio’s top overweights were to Industrials, Financials, and Health Care, while being most underweight the Energy, Real Estate, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Relative sector positioning reflects the investment team’s bottom up stock selection process rather than a reflection of anytop-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.
2 Inception dates of the Class A, Class B, Class D and Class E shares are 7/20/98, 4/28/08, 4/26/13 and 4/28/08, 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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. |

MFS Value Portfolio
Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019 (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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-14
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus.Book-tax differences are primarily due to merger 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-15
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $25,827,818. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $45,856,385. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, 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 issuers 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-16
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
MFS Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Government | | Non-U.S. Government | | | U.S. Government | | | Non-U.S. Government | |
$0 | | $ | 247,011,193 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 439,382,607 | |
The Portfolio engaged in security transactions with other accounts managed by Massachusetts Financial Services Company, the subadviser to the Portfolio, that amounted to $175,232 in purchases of investments and $340,703 in sales of investments, which are included above, and resulted in realized gains of $97,309.
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 (the “Adviser”) with respect to the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Management Fee Waiver- Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, the Adviser has agreed, for the period April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 |

0.075% | | $200 million to $250 million |
0.025% | | $250 million to $750 million |
(0.025)% | | $750 million to $1.5 billion |
0.100% | | $1.5 billion to $3 billion |
0.125% | | Over $3 billion |
An identical agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 - Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees- The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B, Class D and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class D and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class D and Class E shares and 0.25% of such Portfolios’ average daily net assets attributable to the shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets in the case of Class D shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are shown as Distribution and service fees in the Statement of Operations.
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. The Trust has also adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule12b-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, 2019 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.

The acquisition was accomplished by atax-free exchange of 18,481,526 Class A shares of the Portfolio (valued at $297,922,201) for 46,681,887 Class A shares of MFS Value Portfolio II, 14,961,618 Class B shares of the Portfolio (valued at $238,039,342) for 37,761,303 Class B shares of MFS Value Portfolio II and 2,867,541 Class E shares of the Portfolio (valued at $45,909,325) for 7,236,556 Class E shares of MFS Value Portfolio II. Each shareholder of MFS Value Portfolio II 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 27, 2018. The transaction was part of a restructuring designed to eliminate the offering of overlapping portfolios in the Brighthouse Financial, Inc. family of funds with similar investment objectives and similar investment strategies that serve as funding vehicles for insurance contracts that are offered by affiliates of Brighthouse. Some of the investments held by MFS Value Portfolio II 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 MFS Value Portfolio II. All other costs associated with the merger were not borne by the shareholders of either Portfolio.
MFS Value Portfolio II’s net assets on April 27, 2018, were $297,922,201, $238,039,342 and $45,909,325 for Class A, Class B and Class E shares respectively, including investments valued at $581,700,541 with a cost basis of $544,585,228. 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 MFS Value Portfolio II 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 $3,773,083,229, which included $37,115,313 of acquired unrealized appreciation on investments and foreign currency transactions.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2018, the Portfolio’spro-forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows:

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio returned 22.61%, 22.51%, and 22.57%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index1, returned 13.47%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
The U.S. stock market experienced periods of volatility, but ultimately generated strong results during the reporting period. Corporate profits that often exceeded expectations and hopes for a resolution in the U.S.-China trade dispute helped to propel the market higher over the first four months of the year. The market then fell sharply in May, as a breakdown in U.S.-China trade negotiations and proposed tariffs for Mexico triggered a flight to quality. The market then rallied again in June, as the Federal Reserve (Fed) indicated it was open to lowering interest rates, along with signs of progress in the U.S.-China trade war. All told, the S&P 500 Index gained 18.54% for the six months ended June 30th, 2019. Meanwhile,small-cap stocks also moved significantly higher, but lagged the overall stock market, as the Russell 2000 Index returned 16.98%. For the reporting period,small-cap growth and value stocks, as the measured by the Russell 2000 Growth and Value Indexes, returned 20.36% and 13.47%, respectively.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The Portfolio generated a strong return during the reporting period and significantly outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index (Index). Outperformance was driven by strong stock selection, which was positive in nine of the ten sectors in which the Portfolio invests. This is something we often see when quality is in favor. Meanwhile, sector allocation was modestly negative during the period.
In terms of stock selection, the Portfolio’s holdings in the Consumer Discretionary, Heath Care and Information Technology sectors were the most additive for returns. In terms of Consumer Discretionary, the Portfolio’s Specialty Retail positions were the most beneficial. Within the Health Care sector, our Health Care Equipment & Supplies positions added significant value. Looking at the Information Technology sector, our Software holdings added the most value. Energy was the only sector to detract from the Portfolio’s relative returns. Within the sector, several Oil Gas & Consumable Fuels positions detracted from results.
Examples of individual stocks that contributed to the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period were Fair Isaac Corp., Aspen Technology, Inc. and Rogers Corp. Fair Isaac Corp. provides decision management tools used to automate and improve business performance. The company is best known for its industry-standard “FICO” score that leverages a company’s data scale and predictive analytics capabilities. The stock performed well in the period after reporting earnings results that highlighted strong recurring revenue growth and margin expansion. Aspen Technology sells mission-critical process optimization software to customers in the process industries. The software offers meaningfulreturn-on-investment to customers, and we believed that the company has a long runway of opportunity to sell additional modules to its existing customer base. The stock performed well after reporting results that showed continued acceleration in organic growth and an increasingly promising outlook in the company’s new “asset performance management” suite. Rogers Corp. is a specialty materials company with dominant shares in niche markets. The stock performed well, as transitory issues related to manufacturing inefficiencies abated. In addition, the company reported strong results driven by ramping demand for 5G deployments and next generation automotive technologies, where Rogers Corp. has leading market positions.
A number of individual holdings were negative for performance due to company-specific issues. These included Centennial Resource Development, Inc., Lancaster Colony Corp. and Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. Centennial Resource Development is an exploration and production company focused in the Delaware Basin. The company has low cost assets and is under the leadership of Mark Papa, who was highly regarded during his tenure as Chief Executive Officer of EOG Resources. The stock underperformed after reporting that it expects lower production growth in 2019, and due to general weakness in the exploration and production subsector. Lancaster Colony Corp. is a consumer products company of specialty foods for the retail and food service markets. The company has a leading market share and delivers consistenttop-line growth and healthy free cash flow. The stock underperformed despite deliveringin-line results. The stock might have pulled back due to valuation concerns, as we believed that the valuation was a bit stretched after the stock’s strong absolute and relative performance in 2018. Emergent BioSolutions is a pure-play specialty life science manufacturer of niche products for unmet public health needs, including being the sole manufacturer of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed anthrax vaccines and 10 other drugs. Barriers from production and developmentknow-how, including animal models, manufacturing core competency, government relationships, navigating FDA regulatory and compliance frameworks, are a positive for the company. However, its shares underperformed due to a combination of integrating two acquisitions (Narcan, PaxVax), ACAM-2000 (smallpox) contract negotiations, a shift from BioThrax to NuThrax, a Chief Executive Officer transition and aback-end loaded 2019 outlook.
Sector allocation, overall, detracted from the Portfolio’s relative performance during the reporting period. In particular, an overweight to the Health Care sector was a headwind for results. Having no allocation to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and an overweight to the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from performance. In contrast, an overweight to the Information Technology sector added the most value.
In terms of Portfolio changes, we made a number of adjustments on the margin throughout the reporting period. While the Portfolio’s sector allocations are driven by stock selection, at the end of the

reporting period its largest overweight allocations versus the benchmark were Information Technology, Health Care and Industrials. In contrast, the Portfolio’s largest sector underweights relative to the benchmark were Financials, Real Estate and Utilities.
We believe that the key to outperformance over the long-term is driven by owning companies with superior business models that are defended by durable competitive moats and that enjoy attractive financial attributes, such as conservative balance sheets, high returns on capital, and above-market earnings and free cash flow growth. We continually emphasize businesses with these characteristics for the Portfolio.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-13
Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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

Neuberger Berman Genesis Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $11,481,055, 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, 2019.
Directed Brokerage Agreement -The Trust has entered into a directed brokerage arrangement with Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (“CAPIS”). Under this arrangement, the Portfolio directs certain trades to CAPIS in return for a recapture credit. CAPIS 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.
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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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 Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Agreement - Brighthouse Investment Advisers is the investment adviser to the Portfolio.

| | | 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 April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 | |
0.025% | | First $ | 500 million | |
An identical agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 - Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio returned 20.36%, 20.18%, and 20.24%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index1, returned 21.49%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Despite some intraperiod volatility, major U.S. stock indexes ended the first half of 2019 near record highs, due in part to the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed’s”) more accommodative monetary policy stance. In March, the central bank stopped raising short-term interest rates and offered a dovish post-meeting statement, sending stocks higher. In June, equities rallied further after the Fed signaled an increased willingness to cut rates if economic conditions worsen.
Developments in the long-simmering trade dispute between the U.S. and China sparked market volatility throughout the period. Most notably, stocks dipped in May due to heightened trade tensions between the two countries. However, atperiod-end, investors appeared hopeful for at least a short-term trade truce amid continued negotiations, boosting equities. Solid corporate earnings, albeit against tempered expectations, also supported stocks. At various points, continued concerns about slowing global economic growth and mixed U.S. economic data tempered gains.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Portfolio posted positive returns but underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index for thesix-month period. Overall, sector allocation detracted from relative performance.
Financials was by far the largest relative detractor, due primarily to stock choices, such as TD Ameritrade. Indications by the Fed of its willingness to cut rates, industry pricing pressure, and declining client cash balances as investors chase rising equity markets weighed on the company’s shares. Although TD Ameritrade has significant earnings leverage to rising interest rates, we believe it is more than just a play on rates.
The Health Care sector also hampered relative results due to an overweight exposure. Several managed care companies came under pressure due to increased political rhetoric about government-funded health care, and many drug makers faced renewed challenges about prescription drug pricing. We believe the overhang of Democratic proposals for a single-payer health care system is a threat that is unlikely to be realized and could cause a disconnect between fundamentals and trading activity.
Information Technology (“IT”) also detracted from relative performance due to an underweight position, although beneficial stock choices within the sector helped moderate the impact. During the first half of the year, an underweight to the sector weighed on returns as the segment broadly rebounded following its late-2018 swoon, driven by solid corporate earnings reports and strong demand for enterprise technology offerings. In addition, reports that the U.S. and China were making progress in resolving their lengthy trade dispute supported certain sector names. On the positive side, our position in MasterCard boosted relative sector results as the global payment and technology company reached record highs during the period. Management announced a collaboration with Amazon Business, which is expected to increase efficiency and transparency in reconcilingbusiness-to-business (“B2B”) transactions. Overall, we favor MasterCard’s business model, which benefits from pricing power and high incremental margins, as well as secular tailwinds as the shift to electronic payments continues.
Conversely, Industrials aided relative performance due to stock choices. Broad organic revenue growth across segments, along with better-than-expected margin expansion and free cash flow generation, drove shares of Roper higher over the past six months. We believe Roper has an extended runway to pursue acquisitions of high-margin businesses while compounding earnings and cash flow faster than the market with less cyclical downside.
Consumer Discretionary also boosted relative results due to stock selection. Shares of Dollarama gained after reporting better-than-expected topline growth, driven by an increase in average basket size and number of transactions. We believe Dollarama has a unique and durable business model with attractive margins and a solid runway for growth.
At the end of the period, the Portfolio’s greatest overweight relative to the benchmark was in Communication Services. We were also overweight Consumer Discretionary and Utilities. Our most significant underweight allocation was to IT. We were also underweight

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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, 2019 (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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Large Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $27,179,791. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, 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 issuers 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 Large Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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, 2019—(Continued)
An identical agreement was in place for the period April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to $587,896 and are included in the total amounts shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.
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 million, (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.

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, 2019 amounted to $281,880 and are included in the total amounts shown as management fee waivers in the Statement of Operations.

Transfer Agency Agreement -Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees -The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B, E and G shares of the T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio returned 23.73%, 23.57%, 23.62%, and 23.56%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI U.S. Small Cap Growth Index1, returned 21.25%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Despite some intra-period volatility, major U.S. stock indexes ended the first half of 2019 near record highs, due in part to the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed’s”) more accommodative monetary policy stance. In March, the central bank stopped raising short-term interest rates and offered a dovish post-meeting statement, sending stocks higher. In June, equities rallied further after the Fed signaled an increased willingness to cut rates if economic conditions worsen.
Developments in the long-simmering trade dispute between the U.S. and China sparked market volatility throughout the period. Most notably, stocks dipped in May due to heightened trade tensions between the two countries. However, atperiod-end, investors appeared hopeful for at least a short-term trade truce amid continued negotiations, boosting equities. Solid corporate earnings, albeit against tempered expectations, also supported stocks. At various points, continued concerns about slowing global economic growth and mixed U.S. economic data tempered gains.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Broadly speaking, stock selection accounted for the relative outperformance.
Stock choices in Information Technology contributed, most notably from our positions in Fair Isaac and Booz Allen Hamilton. Fair Isaac is a leading predictive analytics and decisions management software company. Shares traded higheryear-to-date as the company continues to post solid results driven by balanced growth in sales across the business and its core product offerings.
Health Care was another area of relative strength, due to stock selection, led by EXACT Sciences. The company is focused on commercializing Cologuard, an accurate andeasy-to-use screening test for colon cancer that is in the early stages of adoption. The company started to see utilization rates move higher, driven by improving commercialization efforts.
Strong stock choices in Communication Services also aided relative performance, led by Cable One. The company is a fully integrated provider of high-speed internet, cable television, and telephone services. The company’s acquisition of Fidelity Communications Company’s data, video, and voice business was well received by investors, lifting shares.
On the negative side, stock choices in Consumer Discretionary detracted the most from relative results. Stamps.com performed the worst within the sector. The company engages in the provision of internet-based mailing and shipping solutions and enabling small businesses, enterprises, and online retailers to print U.S. Postal Service-approved postage. Shares traded sharply lower in the first quarter after the company discontinued its partnership with USPS and fell again in the second quarter after the company disclosed additional adverse effects from the end of its USPS partnership.
Additionally, stock choices in the Energy sector—one of the smallest sectors in thesmall-cap growth universe—also weighed on relative returns, although this was partially offset by a favorable underweight position. Centennial Resource Developmentoperates as an oil and natural gas company focusing on the development of unconventional oil and liquids-rich natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. Shares traded sharply lower after the company cut production growth and capital expenditure estimates for the year, raising concerns about Centennial’s capital productivity going forward.
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.
The investment landscape is constantly changing, and volatility levels often wax and wane without warning, but our investment strategy remains the same. While we take macroeconomic events into account in the course of monitoring portfolio risks, having abottom-up stock selection process and not relying on sector bets versus our benchmark helps us avoid risks due to large moves in any one sector. We continue to favor high-quality stocks of companies that generate good cash flows and are judicious in deploying capital. We believe that such companies will distinguish themselves over time with superior performance relative to lower-quality businesses.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-16
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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

Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $55,620,722. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, 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 issuers 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-18
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
T. Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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 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 fornon-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 atpre-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 toset-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, 2019 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. T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”) is compensated by Brighthouse Investment Advisers to provide subadvisory services for the Portfolio.
Management Fee Waivers - 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 million (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, the Subadviser will waive its subadvisory fee paid by Brighthouse Investment Advisers by 5% for combined Trust and BHFTI average daily net assets over $750 million, 7.5% for the next $1.5 billion of combined assets, and 10% for amounts over $3 billion. 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, 2019 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 - Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B, Class E and Class G shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class G shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B, Class E and Class G shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares, 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares and 0.30% of average daily net assets in the case of Class G shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

Portfolio Manager Commentary*
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A and B shares of the Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio returned 12.98% and 12.88%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s North American Natural Resources Index1, returned 14.58%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
In the first half of the year, uncertainties around global trade and tariffs had the most significant impact on natural resource equity markets—which, in general, started out strong, rebounding from their deep declines of the fourth quarter of 2018, yet became increasingly choppy and skittish moving into the end of the period. A clear, finite resolution to the problems surrounding tariffs and trade remained elusive. As concerns around slowing growth and undershot inflation targets increased, central banks around the worldre-engaged, reversed their policies, and started easing.
Crude oil and energy stocks had a strong start to the year as a confluence of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) quota cuts and compounding political concerns in both Venezuela and Iran helped fuel higher prices. However, despite crude oil price support, U.S. oil production continued to move higher during the second quarter and energy stocks traded down.
Base and industrial metals prices were directionless and mixed in the first half, reflective of the unpredictable nature of global trade during the period. This was amply illustrated by the disparity in performance of several of the underlying metals by the end of June with, for example, nickel up approximately 19% and aluminum down over 4%.
Gold, of all the metals, experienced the most fundamental support, predominately from geopolitical risks and central bank buying. In June, a shift in central banks’ policies towards greater accommodation led to a technical breakout in gold as it moved above $1,400 per ounce.
Grains had a satisfactory first half to the year. Corn was up approximately 12%, driven by a roughly 18% move in the second quarter of the year as considerable rain in the U.S. Midwest injected uncertainty into the market about the outlook for yields and output for this year’s crop.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW / PERIOD END POSITIONING
The main factors contributing to relative underperformance during the period, excluding cash, included underweight positioning and security selection in oil & gas storage & transportation and overweight positioning and security selection in oil & gas exploration & production. The Portfolio’s three largest detractors included: oil & gas exploration & production company CNX Resources Corporation which was the victim of the double-digit drop in the price of natural gas during the period; oil & gas exploration & production company Encana Corporation, which continued to suffer an overhang from its acquisition of Newfield Exploration (completed inmid-February); and, oil & gas storage & transportation company Golar LNG Limited due to operational issues associated with the long lead time of its contracts.
Factors that contributed positively on a relative basis included underweight positioning and security selection in oil & gas equipment & services and integrated oil & gas. The Portfolio’s three largest contributors included: oil & gas equipment & services company ProPetro Holding Corporation which benefited from both the addition of contracted capacity and continued exemplary customer service; oil & gas exploration & production company Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (sold during the period) which benefited from becoming an acquisition target during the period under review; and diversified metals & mining company Rio Tinto Limited which benefited from a notable rise in the price of iron ore in the first half of the year.
There were several positioning changes during the period. The Portfolio established new positions in integrated oil & gas companies Chevron Corporation and Royal Dutch Shell plc while,

simultaneously, on both an absolute and relative basis, decreasing its weightings to oil & gas storage & transportation and oil & gas drilling. Notable exits in the Portfolio during the first half of the year also included oil & gas exploration & production company Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and steel company Vale S.A.
As of June 30, 2019, the Portfolio was substantially underweight integrated oil & gas and oil & gas storage & transportation, and substantially overweight diversified metals & mining andsub-industries that comprise the Portfolio’s alternative energy allocation (including, but not limited to, renewable electricity, semiconductor equipment, and electrical components & equipment).

1 The S&P North American Natural Resources Sector Index was developed as an equity benchmark for U.S. traded natural resource related stocks.
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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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
BHFTII-12
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Van Eck Global Natural Resources Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. 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-13
Brighthouse Funds Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-recognition or disclosure.
Due to Custodian - Pursuant to the custodian agreement, the Custodian 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 the Custodian at the current rate of interest charged by the Custodian for secured loans (currently, the federal funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to the Custodian. The Custodian has a lien on the Portfolio’s assets to the extent of any overdraft. At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had a payment of $1,588,919 due to the Custodian 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, 2019. If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2019. The Portfolio’s average overdraft advances during the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $72,892,303. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, 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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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.
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, 2019 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, 2019 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$4,265,349 | | | 0.800 | % | | Of the first $250 million |
| | | 0.775 | % | | Of the next $750 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. 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 April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 |
0.025% | | Of the first $500 million |
0.050% | | On amounts over $500 million |
An identical agreement was in place for the period January 1, 2019 to April 28, 2019. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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 - Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, to pay to the Distributor a distribution fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio returned 9.76%, 9.64%, and 9.72%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1, returned 6.11%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
Fixed income markets, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, posted strong positive returns of 6.11% for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2019. At the start of the year, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) made explicit its commitment to a “patient” and data dependent approach after its confusing messaging in the fourth quarter of 2018 contributed to heightened market volatility. By leaving its target rate unchanged and by sharing additional details on its balance sheet wind-down, the dovish messaging from the March Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) meeting allowed for a meaningful recovery in spread sectors to start the year.
During its June meeting, the Fed again kept rates on hold but delivered an even more dovish message through its statement, press conference and dot plots. Fed Chairman Powell communicated a clear path for cutting rates later this year, and even leaned into a cut at the July meeting as a strong possibility. The market responded accordingly, with U.S. Treasury bonds rallying, investment-grade credit tightening and the U.S. dollar (“USD”) weakening. In Europe, the European Central Bank (the “ECB”) also struck a dovish tone during its own June meeting as it extended forward guidance by seven months to hold rates at current levels “at least through the first half of 2020.” ECB President Mario Draghi signaled that rates could be cut further and indicated quantitative easing could be reinstated if the inflation or growth outlook fails to improve.
The dovish tone set by global central banks in June was in part a reaction to global growth concerns, which had intensified as the year wore on. What began as an initial trade spat between the U.S. and China morphed into a broader conflict when trade talks between the two nations broke down in May and resulted in an increase in tariffs on Chinese imports to the U.S. Markets were subsequently rattled by the prospect of a U.S. recession, a sustained slowdown in eurozone growth and higher oil price volatility on escalating tensions in the Middle East. In the U.K., Theresa May announced her resignation as Prime Minister after repeatedly failing to get her Brexit plan through Parliament. The probability of a “hard Brexit” scenario increased as the market speculated on May’s successor, sending yields on U.K. gilts lower.
Despite uncertainty about global growth conditions, Emerging Markets (“EM”) positions benefited from an accommodative backdrop set by the U.S. Fed’s dovish pivot. The Fed pivot, along with signs of slowing U.S. growth outperformance, were constructive for EM financial conditions and flows. Spreads and yields on both U.S. dollar (“USD”) and local currency denominated bonds moved lower over the first six months of the year.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Portfolio outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index during the period.
Over theyear-to-date period ended June 30, 2019, the Portfolio’s allocation to corporate bonds has been the most meaningful contributor to performance as spreads have tightened for both investment grade and high yield corporates. Later in the period, the Portfolio’s investment grade credit exposure was trimmed at the margin as spreads tightened. Among the more meaningful structural changes over theyear-to-date period was to add exposure within the Portfolio to Bank Loans and Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”), as the team preferred both asset classes to High Yield from a relative value perspective.
During the period, the Portfolio’s duration and yield curve positioning, in aggregate, was positive for performance as well. The Portfolio held slight overweights relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index at the10-,20- and30-year segments of the yield curve. This benefitted performance as rates fell during theyear-to-date period. For reference, the yield on the10-year U.S. Treasury note fell from 2.69% to 2.00% over the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Another meaningful contributor to performance over thesix-month period was the Portfolio’s exposure to EM Debt. BothUSD-denominated andnon-USD denominated exposures benefitted as spreads and yields were lower and most currencies appreciated against the U.S. dollar.
Within the currency space, two of the Portfolio’s larger currency bets included an allocation to the Mexican peso and an allocation to the Russian ruble. The long Mexican peso position contributed positively as the currency strengthened from 19.65 to 19.15 (+2.2%). Similarly, the long Russian ruble position contributed positively as the currency strengthened from 69.35 to 63.73 (+10.3%). Lastly, the Portfolio further reduced its short in the euro over thesix-month period in order to take profits on the currency’s move lower against the U.S. dollar.
Atperiod-end, we trimmed portfolio duration at the front end of the curve as Western Asset believed there would be fewer Fed rate cuts than the market was pricing in. Additionally, the Portfolio’s investment grade credit exposure was reduced as spreads tightened. As

noted above, one of the more meaningful structural changes to the Portfolio was to add exposure to Bank Loans and CLOs. The Portfolio’s exposure to these asset classes, in aggregate, was increased by 5% byperiod-end.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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 theone-half year period). |

(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 generally have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are determined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or a minimum rate. |
(j) | | Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. The Portfolio may enter into certain credit agreements for which all or a portion may be unfunded. The Portfolio is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. |
(k) | | This loan will settle after June 30, 2019, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
(l) | | Principal amount of security is adjusted for inflation. |

Securities in amount of $575,977 have been received at the custodian bank as collateral for forward foreign currency exchange contracts and OTC swap contracts.
| | | | |
(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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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 tradedover-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 registeredopen-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”), currencies, and futures contracts that are traded OTC are generally valued on the basis of interdealer bid and ask 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) aremarked-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.

Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus.Book-tax differences are primarily due to expired capital loss carryforward. 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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-recognition or disclosure.
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 ofset-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 anyset-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
BHFTII-36
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Schedule of Investments. As of June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had open unfunded loan commitments of $1,282,051. At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
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.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls - The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sellsto-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.
TBA Purchase and 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 will occur beyond the customary settlement period. 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 Portfolio 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 atri-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 ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
BHFTII-37
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $4,945,026. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $53,964,376. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-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 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 aremarked-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 areexchange-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 tend 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 aremarked-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 subsequentlymarked-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 aremarked-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 equals the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2019, 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”; (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; and (4) basis swaps, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different segments of money markets.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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-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.
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 MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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.

Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor.

PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Class A, B and E shares of the Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio returned 4.06%, 3.99%, and 4.00%, respectively. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government Bond Index1, returned 3.96%.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT / CONDITIONS
At the start of the year, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) made explicit its commitment to a “patient” and data-dependent approach after its confusing messaging in the fourth quarter of 2018 contributed to heightened market volatility. By leaving its target rate unchanged and by sharing additional details on its balance sheet wind-down, the dovish messaging from the March Federal Open Market Committee meeting allowed for a meaningful recovery in spread sectors to start the year.
During its June meeting, the Fed again kept rates on hold but delivered an even more dovish message through its statement, press conference and dot plots. Fed Chairman Powell communicated a clear path for cutting rates later this year, and even leaned into a cut at the July meeting as a strong possibility. The market responded accordingly with U.S. Treasury bonds rallying, investment-grade credit tightening and the U.S. dollar weakening. In Europe, the European Central Bank (the “ECB”) also struck a dovish tone during its own June meeting as it extended forward guidance by seven months to hold rates at current levels “at least through the first half of 2020.” ECB President Mario Draghi signaled that rates could be cut further and indicated quantitative easing could be reinstated if the inflation or growth outlook fails to improve.
The dovish tone set by global central banks in June was in part a reaction to global growth concerns which had intensified as the year wore on. What began as an initial trade spate between the U.S. and China, morphed into a broader conflict when trade talks between the two nations broke down in May and resulted in an increase in tariffs on Chinese imports to the U.S. Markets were subsequently rattled by the prospect of a U.S. recession, a sustained slowdown in eurozone growth and higher oil price volatility on escalating tensions in the Middle East. In the U.K., Theresa May announced her resignation as Prime Minister after repeatedly failing to get her Brexit plan through Parliament. The probability of a “hard Brexit” scenario increased as the market speculated on May’s successor, sending yields on U.K. gilts lower.
Despite uncertainty about global growth conditions, emerging markets positions benefited from an accommodative backdrop set by the U.S. Fed’s dovish pivot. The Fed pivot, along with signs of slowing U.S. growth outperformance, were constructive for emerging markets financial conditions and flows. Spreads and yields on both U.S. dollar and local currency denominated bonds moved lower over the first six months of the year.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW /PERIOD-END POSITIONING
The Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio outperformed its benchmark for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Over theyear-to-date period, the Portfolio’stop-down positioning, in aggregate, was a slight detractor to performance. While duration positioning was additive, ultimately the Portfolio’s yield curve positioning was a larger detractor. The Portfolio’s duration was tactically managed within a 90% to 110% position relative to the benchmark, beginning and ending theyear-to-date period below the Index. This benefited performance for the period as rates fell considerably. Yield curve positioning over the first three months was focused on additions inlong-end Treasuries, specifically Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) when real yields were well above 1.00%. The addition to TIPS increased overall duration and exposure to the yield curve. While this position contributed over the first quarter, it underperformed during the second quarter as expectations mounted forfront-end rates due to disappointing inflation. The overall contribution from yield curve positioning over thesix-month period was negative for performance.
Throughout the entire period, Agency bonds remained a substantial position in the Portfolio, providing safety as well as a small yield advantage over U.S. Treasuries. Their collective impact on performance was a modest positive contributor for theyear-to-date period.
Early in the year, Agency Mortgage Backed Securities (Agency MBS) exposure was increased to over 40% of the Portfolio as MBS spreads benefited from the decline in implied interest rate volatility and stability in mortgage rates. During the second quarter, the Portfolio trimmed its exposure slightly as lower rates spurredre-financings, though the sector remains favored within U.S. government fixed-income. The net performance impact of the Portfolio’s Agency MBS exposure was also a modest positive contributor for theyear-to-date period.
At the end of the period, the Portfolio’s exposure tonon-U.S. sovereign paper was reduced modestly as yields narrowed.
Western Asset acknowledges that global growth concerns have intensified since last year, yet we believe overall global growth remained resilient on the back of steady U.S. growth, improving domestic conditions in Europe and signs that sustained monetary and fiscal stimuli across Asia are gaining traction. At period end, the Portfolio continued to be positioned for an environment in which we expected

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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. A reconciliation of Level 3 securities, if any, will 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, 2019:

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019 (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 anopen-end management investment company. The Trust, which is managed by Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC (“Brighthouse Investment Advisers” or the “Adviser”), currently offers twenty-nine 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 of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the general public and are currently available only to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser (together, the “Insurance Companies”).
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, 2019 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. 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 - The Portfolio values its investments for purposes of calculating its net asset value (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value the Portfolio’s investments. The specific methodologies used for a particular investment may vary based on the market data available for a specific investment at the time the Portfolio calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. The Portfolio follows the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820— Fair Value Measurement.
Debt securities, including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes; obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies; foreign sovereign issues; andnon-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. 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 tradedover-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

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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 registeredopen-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.
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.
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.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income - Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 distributable earnings (accumulated losses) andpaid-in surplus. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, orde-recognition or disclosure.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls - The Portfolio may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Portfolio sellsto-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 and 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 will occur beyond the customary settlement period. 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 Portfolio 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 atri-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
BHFTII-19
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
repurchase agreement ofone-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 thenon-defaulting party the right toset-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with any repurchase transaction against obligations owed to it.
At June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had direct investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $16,486,957. Additionally, the Portfolio invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $11,366,802. 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, 2019.
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 aNon-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 U.S. 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, master demand notes 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 U.S. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2019.
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 theNon-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement.
All securities on loan are classified as Foreign Government in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2019, 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 aremarked-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

Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the underlying instrument. If futures contracts areexchange-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, 2019 by category of risk exposure:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Asset Derivatives | | | Liability Derivatives | |
Risk Exposure | | Statement of Assets & Liabilities Location | | Fair Value | | | Statement of Assets & Liabilities Location | | Fair Value | |
Interest Rate | | Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts (a) | | $ | 314,434 | | | Unrealized depreciation on futures contracts (a) | | $ | 2,671,315 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
(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, 2019:

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 issuers 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 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 fornon-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 atpre-arranged exposure levels.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are primarily executed under Global Master Repurchase Agreements (“GMRAs”) or MRAs, which provide the rights toset-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.
BHFTII-21
Brighthouse Funds Trust II
Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
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.
5. Investment Transactions
Aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities, including mortgage dollar roll and TBA transactions but excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

Purchases | | Sales | |
$1,425,588,781 | | $ | 1,550,474,487 | |
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, 2019 | | % per annum | | | Average Daily Net Assets |
$4,624,997 | | | 0.550 | % | | Of the first $500 million |
| | | 0.450 | % | | 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.
The subadvisory fee the Adviser pays to the Subadviser in connection with the investment management of the Portfolio is calculated based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the Portfolio and certain other portfolios of the Trust that are managed by the Subadviser.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2019—(Continued)
Management Fee Waiver - Pursuant to a management fee waiver agreement, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has agreed, for the period April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, 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 |
0.030% | | Of the first $100 million |
0.050% | | On amounts over $200 million and under $500 million |
0.010% | | On amount over $1 billion and under $2 billion |
0.030% | | On amounts in excess of $2 billion |
Prior to April 29, 2019, the Adviser had agreed, for the period April 30, 2018 to April 28, 2019, 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 amounts over $200 million and under $500 million |
0.010% | | On amounts over $1 billion and under $2 billion |
0.020% | | On amounts in excess of $2 billion |
Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are included in the amount shown as a management fee waiver in the Statement of Operations.
Additionally, for the period April 29, 2019 to April 29, 2020, Brighthouse Investment Advisers has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fee reflecting the difference, if any, between the subadvisory fee payable by the Adviser to the Subadviser that was calculated based solely on the assets of the Portfolio and the fee that was calculated when the Portfolio’s assets were aggregated with those of the Brighthouse Funds Trust I Western Asset Management Government Income Portfolio. Amounts waived for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are included in the 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 - Brighthouse Financial, Inc. serves as the transfer agent for the Trust. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. receives no fees for its services to the Trust.
Distribution and Service Fees - The Trust has a distribution agreement with Brighthouse Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) pursuant to which the Distributor serves as the general distributor of shares of each class (each a “Class”) of each Portfolio. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Trust. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Class B and Class E shares of each Portfolio, under Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust may pay the Distributor a fee (the “Service Fee”) at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each such Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares of the Trust. Each Portfolio may not offer shares of each Class. The Plan also authorizes the Trust, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, may pay the Distributor a distribution Fee (the “Distribution Fee” and together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class E shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. Under the Distribution Agreement with respect to the Trust, Fees are currently paid at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets in the case of Class B shares and 0.15% of average daily net assets in the case of Class E shares. The Plan is known as a “compensation plan” because the Trust makes payments to the Distributor for services rendered regardless of the actual level of expenditures by the Distributor. Amounts incurred by the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 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.
