LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS - JUNE 30, 2006
Dear Shareholder,
During the first half of 2006, rising interest rates, high commodity prices,
mounting inflationary pressures and a slowing U.S. economy posed a formidable
challenge to the global economy's advance. Investors' growing discomfort with
these uncertainties culminated in a worldwide stock market correction in the
final months of the period. On the whole, the domestic stock markets registered
flat to modest gains, as did the bond markets. International stocks, however,
fared much better.
Domestic Equity Overview
The U.S. stock market advanced in the first quarter of 2006, but gave back some
of its gain in the second quarter. The six-month period ended June 30, 2006
began on a positive note, with strong gains in January driven by higher growth
and higher risk segments of the market, such as small-cap and technology stocks.
Minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's (the "Fed's") December 13
meeting had bolstered hopes that the Fed might be nearing the end of its current
rate tightening cycle. Investors also responded positively to encouraging labor
market data, improved consumer confidence, and the continuation of robust
merger-and-acquisition and corporate restructuring activity.
The market's strength was particularly impressive given that it faced a number
of headwinds. Oil prices resumed their upward climb, as geopolitical
developments emanating from Iran and Nigeria raised concern about potential
supply disruptions, and fourth-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth came
in well below expectations. Despite investors' eagerness for the contrary, the
Fed raised the target federal funds rate for the fourteenth consecutive time and
left the door open for further rate hikes.
In February, stocks traded flat. More positive economic data and well-received
Congressional testimony from the new Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben S.
Bernanke buoyed sentiment. However, a number of companies reported disappointing
quarterly earnings and offered lackluster outlooks. Consumer confidence also
fell. Conditions improved in March and April, due to relatively tame inflation
numbers and a growing belief that the economy would resume its robust pace in
early 2006. Favorable economic data -- notably in employment, durable goods
orders and consumer confidence -- seemed to support this more optimistic view.
However, inflation concerns began to mount. Rising oil prices and a sharp
increase in other commodity prices drove interest rates upward, as the yield on
the 10-year Treasury rose above 5 percent for the first time since June 2002.
Amid growing uncertainty, stock markets soured in May. The Fed's sixteenth
consecutive increase and its accompanying comments sent the markets tumbling.
The April and May Consumer Price Index reports exacerbated inflation concerns,
which were already heightened in light of the recent sharp rise in
<Page>
commodity prices. Investors also began to acknowledge the possibility of
economic slowdown over the remainder of the year, particularly as consumer
sentiment showed signs of deterioration. Declining investor sentiment continued
into June, although stocks rallied significantly in the final days of the
period. As was expected, the Fed raised rates again on June 29, but its language
suggested that additional rate hikes might become unnecessary.
Fixed Income Overview
The first six months of 2006 provided few surprises in the bond market. As was
widely expected, the Fed continued to raise the target federal funds rate by 25
basis points at each of its meetings during the first half of the year, bringing
the rate to 5.25 percent at the end of June. In the Fed's view, the U.S. economy
remained on solid footing, and core inflation was still relatively low, though
most measures of core inflation were either at or above the high end of the
range viewed as acceptable by the Fed.
Also as expected, longtime Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan retired in January after
a term of more than 18 years. Ben S. Bernanke replaced Greenspan as Chairman,
and in his first Congressional testimony in the role acknowledged some risks to
the Fed's relatively contained inflation forecast, as well as the potential for
upward pressure on inflation in the event of continued high energy prices and
other building inflationary pressures. Comments made by Fed members after their
May and June meetings indicated that they would rely heavily on economic data in
making future decisions concerning the direction of interest rates. In fact,
based on these comments it appears that the Fed will be driven by the weight of
the economic data more so now than perhaps at anytime over the past few years.
Within the government sector, U.S. Treasuries underperformed over the six-month
period because of their high sensitivity to fluctuating interest rates and their
relatively low yields. Yield spreads (a measure of market risk) of agency
debentures and mortgages remained tight relative to Treasuries. Early in the
period, lower-coupon mortgages outperformed higher-coupon mortgages. As is
typical during periods of rising interest rates, prepayment speeds on mortgages
slowed, making the higher yield offered by these issues more attractive. This
trend reversed course in the second half of the period, as higher coupon, longer
dated mortgage-backed issues outperformed their lower-coupon counterparts.
Due mainly to concerns over inflation and increased risk in the corporate
market, the credit sector had trouble keeping pace with other fixed income
sectors, and posted its lowest six-month return since 1999. Within the
investment-grade portion of the sector, lower-rated issues (BBB- and A-rated)
outpaced higher-rated issues (AA-rated and above). Industrials posted the
highest returns, followed by utilities and financials. Overall, longer-dated
corporate issues underperformed shorter-dated issues.

<Page>
The high-yield market performed well during the reporting period, especially in
the first quarter of the year, as continued economic strength, a strong equity
market and increased investor appetite for risk combined support the market.
Gains in high yield came despite declining Treasury prices, tight credit
spreads, moderated new bond issuance and outflows from mutual funds. High-yield
market returns slowed in the second quarter as rising market volatility,
concerns about inflation and increased issuance dampened performance. The end
result was modestly positive returns for the six-month period.
Within the high-yield asset class, the riskiest segment of the market --
securities rated CCC and below -- outperformed high-rated securities throughout
the reporting period. Industry sector returns, however, varied considerably. The
strongest performing sectors included transportation (due to strong gains by the
auto component), manufacturing, telecommunication services, retail and cable.
The worst performers included the energy, broadcasting, information technology,
health care and utilities sectors. Forest products, the leading sector in the
first quarter, turned in poor performance in the second quarter.
International Equity Overview
Despite early signs of slowing in the U.S. economy, the global economy continued
to roar ahead in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Following a period of
protracted sluggishness, Europe had something of a boom. Unemployment declined,
industrial output grew and observers believed with increasing certainty that the
European Central Bank would likely raise interest rates. In May, the European
purchasing managers' indexes for both the services and manufacturing sectors
advanced sharply, hitting six-year highs. Sentiment for the region brightened as
this economic cycle appeared sustainable and was expected to fuel domestic
demand amid improving consumer confidence. After a strong performance in 2005,
conditions in Japan turned more turbulent in early 2006 as a scandal plagued one
of Japan's best known Internet companies. Although Japanese stocks gained back
some ground in March and April, the market declined precipitously at the end of
the period in concert with the global market correction. Investors across all
regions began to contend with the rising possibility that the combination of
additional rate hikes in the U.S. and anticipated tightening in both Japan and
Europe will likely slow global economic growth. Within this framework,
international developed markets were volatile, as gains made in the first
quarter were tempered by a sharp correction in the month of June.
Emerging markets followed a similar course, beginning 2006 with a double-digit
gain in the first quarter and outperforming major developed markets. Favorable
valuations relative to the developed world and stronger underlying economies
enticed investors. Appetites for emerging markets equities reached record highs
in April with year-to-date inflows surpassing levels greater than the whole of
2005. However, after
3
<Page>
reaching new highs, the emerging markets -- along with other global markets --
sold off in May as global risk aversion spiked due to concerns about slowing
global growth and rising inflation and interest rates in the U.S. Tumbling from
a new high on May 8, emerging markets were down an average of 15 percent during
the global sell-off. Nevertheless, similar to past corrections, the asset class
rebounded strongly off its low as the global markets stabilized. Emerging market
economies have become more resilient to external shocks thanks to the adoption
of better macroeconomic fundamentals, stronger fiscal performance and the
de-leveraging of corporate balance sheets.
Aggressive Equity Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, Aggressive Equity Portfolio Class
X shares produced a total return of 2.40 percent versus - 0.32 percent for the
Russell 3000(R) Growth Index(1). For the same period, the Portfolio's Class Y
shares returned 2.35 percent. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE
RESULTS.

DIFFERENT EXPENSES. THE PORTFOLIO'S TOTAL RETURNS ASSUME THE REINVESTMENT OF ALL
DISTRIBUTIONS BUT DO NOT REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF ANY CHARGES BY YOUR INSURANCE
COMPANY. SUCH COSTS WOULD LOWER PERFORMANCE.
During the period, the Portfolio outperformed the Russell 3000 Growth Index due
to both stock selection and sector allocation decisions. Within the autos and
transportation sector, an overweight allocation benefited the Portfolio, and a
selection of securities, particularly in the transportation logistics area, had
a very favorable impact on relative returns. Another source of positive returns
came from the technology sector, where an overall sector underweight and stock
selection in the semiconductor, computer technology and computer services
industries boosted performance. The health care sector also yielded strong
results relative to the Index, due to stock selection in health care services
and biotechnology firms as well as a lack of exposure to health care management
companies. Additionally, an underweight allocation in this sector proved
advantageous to the Portfolio.
Conversely, areas of weakness for the Portfolio included the consumer
discretionary sector, in which stock selection in the commercial services,
leisure time and consumer electronics companies tempered relative performance.
To a lesser extent, the sector's large overweight allocation also hindered
returns. Meanwhile, stock selection and an underweight allocation in producer
durables put downward pressure on the

Portfolio's returns. Likewise, an underweight allocation within the consumer
staples sector deterred the Portfolio's advance.
At the close of this period, consumer discretionary was the largest weighted
sector within the Portfolio, and also represented the greatest overweight
relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT ANY SECTORS MENTIONED WILL CONTINUE TO PERFORM WELL
OR THAT SECURITIES IN SUCH SECTORS WILL BE HELD BY THE PORTFOLIO IN THE FUTURE
Dividend Growth Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, Dividend Growth Portfolio Class X
shares produced a total return of - 0.34 percent versus 2.71 percent for the S&P
500(R) Index(2). For the same period, the Portfolio's Class Y shares returned -
0.47 percent. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

Broadly speaking, the high quality, dividend paying stocks in which the
Portfolio seeks to invest were out of favor with investors during the period.
Especially in the first quarter, investors demonstrated a preference for the
riskier segments of the stock market at the expense of more established, less
volatile companies. On a sector basis, relative to the S&P 500 Index, our stock
selection in health care was a "perfect storm" of lagging performance across all
industries, including health care providers and services, pharmaceuticals,
health care equipment and biotechnology. We attribute this widespread weakness
in part to company- or industry-specific negative events and in part to
investors locking in profits on 2005's gains. Although an underweight in
technology helped the Portfolio, stock selection within the sector was a
detractor from relative performance. Our selections in communications equipment
and computer hardware and peripherals significantly underperformed some of the
index's better performing stocks in these groups. The Portfolio's industrials
holdings also had a net negative effect on relative returns. While the
Portfolio's sizeable allocation to industrial conglomerates did have positive
performance during the period, other industrial companies experienced much
larger gains. Within the sector, the more economically sensitive

industries -- such as road and rail, machinery, electrical equipment and air
freight and logistics -- outperformed, and the Portfolio had little to no
exposure to these groups.
However, the Portfolio did achieve notable positive performance elsewhere. The
largest contributor to the Portfolio's relative return was an overweight to the
energy sector. Energy stocks continued to lead the broad market, as ongoing high
commodity prices supported strong profits for many energy companies. An
underweight in the technology sector -- one of the S&P 500 Index's two negative
performing sectors during the period -- also benefited the Portfolio's return on
a relative basis. A combination of sluggish demand from businesses and the
expectation of consumers retrenching contributed to weakness across a number of
technology industry groups, especially semiconductors and semiconductor capital
equipment, software and services, and hardware and equipment. Stock selection in
the materials sector -- although representing a very small portion of the
Portfolio -- had a large positive impact on relative returns. Here, the
Portfolio's exposure to the chemicals and metals and mining industries added
materially to gains.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT ANY SECTORS MENTIONED WILL CONTINUE TO PERFORM WELL
OR THAT SECURITIES IN SUCH SECTORS WILL BE HELD BY THE PORTFOLIO IN THE FUTURE.
Equity Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, Equity Portfolio Class X shares
produced a total return of - 1.34 percent versus - 0.32 percent for the Russell
3000(R) Growth Index(3). For the same period, the Portfolio's Class Y shares
returned - 1.48 percent. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

The Portfolio's overall underperformance against the Russell 3000 Growth Index
was primarily due to stock selection, although sector allocation decisions
helped to mitigate lagging returns. Among the Portfolio's chief detractors was
the consumer discretionary sector, where an overweight allocation and stock
selection in the commercial services, leisure time and consumer electronic
industries hindered performance. A combination of unfavorable stock selection in
homebuilding firms, a lack of exposure to aerospace companies and an underweight
allocation to the producer durables sector added downward pressure on the
Portfolio's return.

Stock selection in medical and dental instruments and supplies companies
generated weak returns within the health care sector, although the Portfolio did
benefit slightly from an underweight allocation.
There were some sources of positive relative returns for the Portfolio,
including the financial services sector, in which strong stock selection in the
diversified financial services, information services and securities brokerage
and services industries provided favorable performance. Another area of strength
was stock selection within the autos and transportation sector, particularly in
the transportation logistics area. Meanwhile, the Portfolio's energy sector
yielded strong results due to an overweight allocation, even though stock
selection did mildly impair the Portfolio's gains.
At the close of this period, consumer discretionary was the largest weighted
sector within the Portfolio, and also represented the greatest overweight
relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index.

OR THAT SECURITIES IN SUCH SECTORS WILL BE HELD BY THE PORTFOLIO IN THE FUTURE.
European Equity Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, European Equity Portfolio Class X
shares produced a total return of 11.57 percent versus 13.58 percent for the
MSCI Europe Index(4). For the same period, the Portfolio's Class Y shares
returned 11.42 percent. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

Among the Portfolio's primary detractors during the six-month period was stock
selection in the food and staples retailing, pharmaceuticals, and food, beverage
and tobacco sectors. Negative company-specific events dampened the Portfolio's
returns within these groups relative to the MSCI Europe Index. An underweight in
the utilities sector -- based on the sector's lack of compelling valuations, by
our measures -- also diminished results. Here, widespread merger and acquisition
activity continued to draw investors' favor, particularly in the earlier part of
the year. The Portfolio's longstanding overweight in telecommunication services
also contributed to lagging performance. The group continued to be hampered by
an aggressive regulatory environment, significant pricing competition and
continued technology-related uncertainty.

Nonetheless, the Portfolio did well in other areas. Stock selection in the
technology sector, especially within hardware and equipment, boosted relative
gains as the Portfolio was less exposed to one of the index's weaker performing
stocks. Stock selection in media also had a positive influence due to
company-specific events. Finally, in the capital goods sector, selection
specifically within mining and oil-related stocks turned out to be advantageous.

Global Advantage Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, Global Advantage Portfolio Class X
shares produced a total return of 3.15 percent, underperforming the Morgan
Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index(5) which produced a total
return of 6.06 percent for the same period. For the same period, the Portfolio's
Class Y shares returned 3.02 percent. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE

We attribute the Portfolio's performance lag relative to the MSCI World Index to
two main factors. First, as value stocks outperformed growth stocks during the
six-month period, the Portfolio's growth-orientation faced a headwind. Second,
the global markets demonstrated a considerable dispersion in sector returns. (We
note that the Portfolio's overall allocations were the result of individual
security selections, rather than of "top-down" decisions about the relative
merits of sectors and countries.) The best performing groups were energy and
materials -- so called "cyclicals" because of their strong correlations to
economic cycles. The Portfolio, however, held less exposure to these sectors and
therefore did not participate fully in their advance. At the same time, the
Portfolio's overweight in the technology sector further dampened gains, as the
sector had a negative return in the broad market.
However, the Portfolio did well relative to the index across a number of areas.
Although sector allocation detracted from relative results, stock selection
benefited the Portfolio, especially in the retail and technology groups. On a
country basis, an underweight in the U.S. and Japan added to relative returns as
these markets underperformed the global average. A considerable weight in the
emerging markets bolstered relative performance as well. The region posted
respectable gains during the period.

Global Dividend Growth Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, Global Dividend Growth Portfolio
Class X shares produced a total return of 5.10 percent versus 6.06 percent for

Relative to the MSCI World Index, stock selection in the financials sector was
the largest detractor from performance over the six-month period. Within this
sector, the Portfolio's holdings in the insurance group had particularly
disappointing returns. In addition, the Portfolio's zero exposure to the real
estate group, which produced strong returns for the benchmark, hampered relative
gains.
Relative performance was also negatively affected by the Portfolio's stocks
within the telecommunication services sector, in which the Portfolio held a
significant overweight position. During the period, the sector was generally out
of favor with investors due to ongoing concerns about regulation, competition
and capital expenditure, in particular. However, we continue to believe that the
market has overreacted to these issues, and therefore maintained the Portfolio's
overweight in this sector.
Stock selection in consumer staples was another detractor from relative
performance as some of the Portfolio's larger positions produced lackluster
returns. Nonetheless, we continue to find consumer staples stocks attractive for
their ability to consistently generate substantial levels of free cash flow.
Conversely, the Portfolio's stock selection and a long-held underweight position
in the information technology sector were positive contributors to performance.
Based on what we considered to be unattractive valuations, the Portfolio was not
exposed to some of the larger names in the index that declined sharply. Stock
selection within the health care sector contributed positively to performance,
and the Portfolio benefited from an underweight position in the consumer
discretionary sector.

Early in the reporting period, we reduced risk in the Portfolio by increasing
its overall credit quality. This defensive positioning versus the benchmark was
the main reason for the Portfolio's relative underperformance, as it kept the
Portfolio from participating fully in the general outperformance of
lower-quality securities.
Security selection in the Portfolio provided more mixed results. Selected issues
in the forest products and food/tobacco sectors detracted from returns. On a
more positive note, security selection in transportation and utilities
contributed to overall returns during the period.

Within the stock portion of the Portfolio, telecommunication services stocks
detracted most from returns relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index. After
several years of declining performance, the telecommunication services sector
began to show signs of progress during the period. However, our selections did
not perform as well as those stocks that led the sector's turnaround. The
Portfolio's health care representation was another significant laggard on a
relative basis. Negative company specific news at selected health care equipment
and services companies proved detrimental to the Portfolio's exposure there.
Additionally, large-cap pharmaceuticals -- which comprise a major portion of the
Portfolio's health care position -- generated lackluster performance. Stock
selection in the industrials sector also hampered relative gains, as the
Portfolio's holdings in capital goods and aerospace and defense did not keep
pace with other stronger performing stocks in the sector. Also within the
industrials sector, the Portfolio's lack of exposure to the transportation
industry had a negative impact on relative performance.
Although the Portfolio underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index during the
six-month period, it did achieve positive returns on an absolute basis across
all stock market sectors except technology. On a relative basis, the Portfolio
benefited from an underweight in the utilities sector. The sector has not
performed as well as it did in 2005, and investors rotated away from utility
stocks in pursuit of higher yields in fixed income investments. (The rising
interest rate environment makes utility stock yields less attractive relative to
certain fixed income investments.) Elsewhere, the Portfolio was well positioned
within the consumer discretionary sector. Select holdings in the retail and
media industries combined with minimal exposure to the weak performing auto and
apparel industries added to relative gains during the period.
The Portfolio's fixed income investments focused on higher-quality securities.
While this defensive posture provided some performance support over the period,
much of that support was offset by the underperformance of higher-rated bonds
relative to lower-rated segments of the market. The Portfolio benefited from
strong security selection among corporate issues.
The Portfolio's investments in convertible securities made gains in the energy,
information technology, and industrials sectors. Within the consumer
discretionary sector, media holdings were standouts as both stock selection and
a resulting overweight in media contributed positively. However, security
selection in the financials sector had a negative impact.

Income Plus Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, Income Plus Portfolio Class X
shares produced a total return of - 0.78 percent versus - 0.72 percent for the
Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index(10). For the same period, the Portfolio's
Class Y shares returned - 1.00 percent. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF

DISTRIBUTIONS BUT DO NOT REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF ANY CHARGES BY YOUR INSURANCE
COMPANY. SUCH COSTS WOULD LOWER PERFORMANCE.
Within the corporate sector, we employed a defensive strategy with a focus on
higher-quality securities. While this defensive posture provided some
performance support over the period, much of that support was offset by the
underperformance of higher-rated bonds relative to lower-rated segments of the
market. The Portfolio benefited from strong security selection among corporate
issues.
During the period, we kept the Portfolio's overall duration* well below that of
the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index. This posture was beneficial as
interest rates rose across the market, especially in the short- and
intermediate-portions of the yield curve.

Our focus on higher-coupon mortgage backed securities with slow prepayments
boosted the Portfolio's yield, and benefited performance. Gains from these

Money Market Portfolio
AN INVESTMENT IN A MONEY MARKET FUND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL
DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. ALTHOUGH MONEY
MARKET FUNDS SEEK TO PRESERVE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT AT $1.00 PER SHARE, IT
IS POSSIBLE TO LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN SUCH FUNDS.
As of June 30, 2006, Money Market Portfolio had net assets of approximately $252
million with an average portfolio maturity of 25 days. For the seven-day period
ended June 30, 2006, the Portfolio's Class X shares provided an effective
annualized yield of 4.75 percent and a current yield of 4.64 percent, while its
30-day moving average yield for June was 4.62 percent. For the six-month period
ended June 30, 2006, the Portfolio's Class X shares returned 2.13 percent. PAST
PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
For the seven-day period ended June 30, 2006, the Portfolio's Class Y shares
provided an effective annualized yield of 4.48 percent and a current yield of
4.39 percent, while its 30-day moving average yield for June was 4.37 percent.

Our strategy in managing the Portfolio remained consistent with its long-term
focus on maintaining preservation of capital and liquidity. We adhered to a
conservative approach in managing the Portfolio that emphasized purchasing
high-quality money market obligations and avoiding the use of derivatives or
structured notes that might fluctuate excessively with changing interest rates.
We also took advantage of the rising yields available on money market
securities. As short-term interest rates climbed, we reinvested the proceeds of
maturing short-term holdings into higher-yielding securities.

S&P 500 Index Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, S&P 500 Index Portfolio Class X
shares produced a total return of 2.60 percent versus 2.71 percent for the S&P
500(R) Index(12). For the same period, the Portfolio's Class Y shares returned
2.46 percent. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

For the period overall, the sectors with the best absolute performance were
telecommunication services, energy, industrials and materials. However, given
that the S&P 500 Index is market-capitalization weighted (and that the Portfolio
seeks to mirror the composition of the Index), the overall contribution of each
sector was also influenced by its proportional size within the Index as a whole.
As such, the largest contributors to the Portfolio's return were energy,
industrials and financials. Energy stocks continued to lead the market,
supported by high oil prices. Growth in the global economy provided a favorable
backdrop for the economically sensitive industrials sector. Gains in the
financials sector were driven by those companies that were exposed to the robust
pace of merger and acquisition activity and ongoing strength in capital markets.
Conversely, only two sectors had negative returns for the six-month period. In
the health care sector, health care equipment and services and biotechnology
stocks were notable laggards. The technology sector lost ground primarily in the
semiconductors industry. Concerns about languishing sales and price wars led the
group lower. Software and services and hardware and equipment stocks also
declined amid weak demand for software and personal computers from both
consumers and corporations.

Strategist Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, Strategist Portfolio Class X
shares produced a total return of 5.49 percent versus 2.71 percent for the S&P
500(R) Index(13) and - 1.15 percent for the Lehman Brothers U.S.
Government/Credit Index(14). For the same period, the Portfolio's Class Y shares

Strategist Portfolio's flexible investment strategy allows investment across
stocks, bonds, cash and other investment classes. To determine the specific
allocation among asset classes throughout the period, we rigorously evaluated a
comprehensive array of quantitative and qualitative factors. The quantitative
analysis comprised an extensive "top-down" asset class review of many
macroeconomic variables, with primary focus on three core factors: monetary
policy and its impact on liquidity, inflation trend changes and corporate
profitability trends. A second, more qualitative process then broadened the
analysis to determine which individual sectors and industries would offer the
best opportunities, in our view, given the macroeconomic climate. Individual
holdings were then selected to provide desired exposure to asset classes and
sectors.
As the result of our investment discipline, Strategist Portfolio shifted
throughout the first six months of 2006 to take into account the deteriorating
outlook for inflation and the vigilance of the Federal Reserve. In our view, a
more defensive and risk-averse strategy seemed appropriate in light of these
developments. We initially reduced the Portfolio's fixed income exposure in
March from 25 percent of total net assets to 20 percent, and subsequently
lowered the equity exposure in May from 65 percent to 60 percent. The
Portfolio's cash allocation was raised from 10 percent to 20 percent during the
reporting period.
We also made a number of changes in the Portfolio's sector and industry
exposures throughout the six-month period, reflecting many of the concerns cited
previously. We viewed a number of cyclical industries, which had rewarded the
Portfolio well in 2005, as increasingly vulnerable. Generally, we reduced the
Portfolio's exposure to the most economically sensitive sectors and reinvested
proceeds in more stable industries. As such, during the reporting period, we
reduced the Portfolio's largest sector weight,

information technology, from a significant overweight versus the benchmark S&P
500 Index to a modest overweight. We also eliminated an overweight position in
industrials, moving to an underweight position versus the benchmark. Proceeds
were reallocated to consumer staples, where the Portfolio's modest overweight
position doubled to a more substantial position. Exposure to telecommunications
services -- specifically the traditionally defensive telephone utility companies
- -- was also increased from a modest underweight position to an equal weight with
the S&P 500 Index.
We kept the fixed income component of the Portfolio generally defensive
throughout the period under review. As fixed income sectors sold off, short-term
debt was reallocated to mortgage securities and corporate and government bonds.
At the end of June, the fixed income portion of the portfolio averaged an
effective duration* of 4.54 years, slightly below the benchmark duration as
measured by the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index. The Portfolio held
approximately a quarter of its fixed income assets in government-issued bonds,
about a third of its assets in corporates, and the balance in mortgages and
short-term paper at the close of the period.

A combined weighting of 41 percent among the telecommunications services and
natural gas/energy sectors contributed to the Portfolio's superior returns
relative to the S&P 500 Index. In addition, stock selection within certain
wireless and coal companies further enhanced overall performance.
At the close of this period, the Portfolio was well diversified across the
utilities sector. Electric utilities represented 59 percent of the equity
allocation, while natural gas/energy represented 23 percent and
telecommunications services represented 18 percent. The average cash position
over the six-month period was in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 percent. We note that
the Portfolio's holdings and allocations may be modified at any time, in
response to our analysis of broader trends or company specific fundamentals.

Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series
EXPENSE EXAMPLE - JUNE 30, 2006
As a shareholder of the Portfolios, you incur two types of costs: (1) insurance
company charges; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution
and service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolios expenses. This example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in
the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in
other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire period 01/01/06 - 06/30/06.
Actual Expenses
The first line of 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, 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 of the table below provides information about hypothetical
expenses based on the Portfolios' actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of
return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolios' actual
returns. 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 cost of investing in the
Portfolios 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 insurance company charges. Therefore,
the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not
help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In
addition, if these insurance company charges were included, your costs would
have been higher.

Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT APPROVAL - JUNE 30, 2006
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment
advisory services provided by the Investment Adviser under the Advisory
Agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and fixed income
securities trading. The Board reviewed similar information and factors regarding
each Sub-Adviser, to the extent applicable. The Board also reviewed and
considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services
provided by the Portfolios' Administrator under the Administration Agreement,
including accounting, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, business management and
planning, and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the
Investment Adviser's expense. (The Investment Adviser, the Sub-Advisers and the
Administrator together are referred to as the "Adviser" and the Advisory and
Administration Agreements together are referred to as the "Management
Agreement.") The Board also compared the nature of the services provided by the
Adviser with similar services provided by non-affiliated advisers as reported to
the Board by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper").
The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers,
the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of the Adviser who
provide the advisory and administrative services to the Portfolios. The Board
determined that the Adviser's portfolio managers and key personnel are well
qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in
an efficient and professional manner. The Board concluded that the nature and
extent of the advisory and administrative services provided were necessary and
appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of each
Portfolio. The Board also concluded that the overall quality of the advisory and
administrative services was satisfactory.
PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO COMPARABLE FUNDS MANAGED BY OTHER ADVISERS
On a regular basis, the Board reviews the performance of all funds in the Morgan
Stanley Fund Complex, including the Portfolios, compared to their peers, paying
specific attention to the underperforming funds. In addition, the Board
specifically reviewed each Portfolio's performance for the one-, three- and
five-year periods ended November 30, 2005, as shown in reports provided by
Lipper (the "Lipper Reports"), compared to the performance of comparable funds
selected by Lipper (the "performance peer group") for each Portfolio. The Board
discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved
in managing each Portfolio. When a fund underperforms its performance peer
group, the Board discusses with the Adviser the causes of the underperformance
and, where necessary, specific changes to the fund's investment strategy or
investment personnel.
With respect to the Strategist, Income Builder, Utilities, S&P 500 Index,
Aggressive Equity, Equity and Income Plus Portfolios, the Board concluded that
each Portfolio's performance was competitive with that of its performance peer
group.
28
<Page>
With respect to the Dividend Growth and Money Market Portfolios, the Board
considered that adherence to the Portfolios' investment strategies may result in
periods of underperformance, but that, over time, adherence to the Portfolios'
investment strategies is appropriate. The Board concluded that the performance
of the Portfolios was acceptable.
With respect to the European Equity, Global Advantage, Global Dividend Growth,
High Yield and Limited Duration Portfolios, the Board concluded that each
Portfolio can reasonably be expected to be competitive with that of its
performance peer group based on recent action taken or proposed to be taken by
the Adviser with respect to each Portfolio's investment strategy and/or
investment personnel.
FEES RELATIVE TO OTHER PROPRIETARY FUNDS MANAGED BY THE ADVISER WITH COMPARABLE
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Board reviewed the advisory and administrative fee (together, the
"management fee") rate paid by each Portfolio under the Management Agreement.
With respect to the Dividend Growth, Strategist, Income Builder, European
Equity, Global Advantage, S&P 500 Index, Aggressive Equity and Money Market
Portfolios, the Board noted that the management fee rates were comparable to the
management fee rates charged by the Adviser to other proprietary funds it
manages with investment strategies comparable to those of the Portfolios.
With respect to the Global Dividend Growth, Utilities, High Yield, Income Plus
and Limited Duration Portfolios, the Board noted that the management fee rates
were comparable to the management fee rates charged by the Adviser to other
proprietary funds it manages with investment strategies comparable to those of
the Portfolios taking into account the scope of the services provided.
With respect to the Equity Portfolio, the Board noted that the Adviser did not
manage any other funds with investment strategies comparable to those of the
Portfolio.
FEES AND EXPENSES RELATIVE TO COMPARABLE FUNDS MANAGED BY OTHER ADVISERS
The Board reviewed the management fee rate and total expense ratio of each
Portfolio as compared to the average management fee rate and average total
expense ratio for funds, selected by Lipper (the "expense peer group"), managed
by other advisers with investment strategies comparable to those of the
Portfolios, as shown in the Lipper Reports. The Board concluded that each
Portfolio's management fee rate and total expense ratio were competitive with
those of its expense peer group.
29
<Page>
BREAKPOINTS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Board reviewed the structure of each Portfolio's management fee schedule
under the Management Agreement and noted that each Portfolio's management fee
schedule, except the Limited Duration Portfolio, includes one or more
breakpoints. The Board also reviewed the level of each Portfolio's management
fee and noted that each fee, as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets,
would decrease as net assets increase because each management fee includes one
or more breakpoints. The Board concluded that each Portfolio's management fee
would reflect economies of scale as assets increase.
With respect to the Limited Duration Portfolio, the Board noted that the
management fee schedule does not include any breakpoints. The Board noted that
the Portfolio's assets were relatively small. The Board concluded that it would
be premature to consider economies of scale as a factor in approving the
Management Agreement at the present time.
PROFITABILITY OF THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATES
The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits
realized by the Adviser and affiliates during the last year from their
relationship with each Portfolio and during the last two years from their
relationship with the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex and reviewed with the Adviser
the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the
Adviser and affiliates. Based on its review of the information it received, the
Board concluded that the profits earned by the Adviser and affiliates were not
excessive in light of the advisory, administrative and other services provided
to the Portfolios.
FALL-OUT BENEFITS
The Board considered so-called "fall-out benefits" derived by the Adviser and
affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio and the Morgan Stanley
Fund Complex. The Board considered the "float" benefits derived from handling of
checks for purchases and sales of Portfolio shares, through a broker-dealer
affiliate of the Adviser. The Board also considered that a broker-dealer
affiliate of the Adviser receives from each Portfolio 12b-1 fees for
distribution and shareholder services. The Board concluded that the float
benefits were relatively small and the 12b-1 fees were competitive with those of
other broker-dealers.
With respect to the Dividend Growth, Strategist, Income Builder, European
Equity, Global Advantage, Global Dividend Growth, Utilities, S&P 500 Index,
Aggressive Equity and Equity Portfolios, the Board considered "soft dollar"
benefits (discussed in the next section). The Board also considered that an
affiliate of the Adviser sold a joint venture that owned an electronic trading
system network ("ECN"), which may be used by the Adviser for trading on behalf
of the Portfolios. As part of the sale of the joint venture, the affiliate
receives a 10-year payout based on the revenue stream from trading on the ECN.
Although the
30
<Page>
affiliate disgorges the portion of the payout that is comprised of commissions
received from trades executed by the Adviser on the ECN to a charitable
organization, the Board considered the fact that trades by the Adviser would
increase order flow, and, thus, result in a potential fall-out benefit to the
affiliate. The Board concluded that the affiliate disgorged revenues in
connection with the ECN-related revenue and the potential fall-out benefit from
increased order flow was relatively small.
SOFT DOLLAR BENEFITS
The Board considered whether the Adviser realizes any benefits as a result of
brokerage transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements. Under such
arrangements, brokerage commissions paid by the Portfolios and/or other funds
managed by the Adviser would be used to pay for research that a securities
broker obtains from third parties, or to pay for both research and execution
services from securities brokers who effect transactions for the Portfolios.
With respect to the Dividend Growth, Strategist, Income Builder, European
Equity, Global Advantage, Global Dividend Growth, Utilities, Aggressive Equity
and Equity Portfolios, the Adviser informed the Board that it does not use
Portfolio commissions to pay for third party research. It does use commissions
to pay for research which is bundled with execution services. The Board
recognized that the receipt of such research from brokers may reduce the
Adviser's costs but concluded that the receipt of such research strengthens the
investment management resources of the Adviser, which may ultimately benefit the
Portfolios and other funds in the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex.
With respect to the S&P 500 Index Portfolio, the Adviser informed the Board that
the Portfolio's commissions are used to pay for execution services only.
With respect to the High Yield, Income Plus, Limited Duration and Money Market
Portfolios, the Board noted that each Portfolio invests only in fixed income
securities, which do not generate soft dollars.
ADVISER FINANCIALLY SOUND AND FINANCIALLY CAPABLE OF MEETING THE PORTFOLIOS'
NEEDS
The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the
resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement.
The Board noted that the Adviser's operations remain profitable, although
increased expenses in recent years have reduced the Adviser's profitability. The
Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to
fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement.
HISTORICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PORTFOLIOS AND THE ADVISER
The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between each
Portfolio and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the
Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted
31
<Page>
by the Adviser for managing the Portfolios' operations and the Board's
confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key
personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that it is beneficial for each
Portfolio to continue its relationship with the Adviser.
OTHER FACTORS AND CURRENT TRENDS
The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the
Adviser and monitored by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that
the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part
to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of each Portfolio's business.
GENERAL CONCLUSION
After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded
that it would be in the best interest of each Portfolio and its shareholders to
approve renewal of the Management Agreement for another year.

</Table>
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS -- Money Market: Portfolio securities are valued at
amortized cost which approximates market value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7
under the Act. All remaining Portfolios: (1) an equity portfolio security listed
or traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or American Stock Exchange, or
other exchange is valued at its latest sale price, prior to the time when assets
are valued; if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the mean
between the last reported bid and asked price; (2) an equity portfolio security
listed or traded on the Nasdaq is valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price;
if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the mean between the
last reported bid and asked price; (3) all other portfolio securities for which
over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean
between the last reported bid and asked price. In cases where a security is
traded on more than one exchange, the security is valued on the exchange
designated as the primary market; (4) for equity securities traded on foreign
exchanges, the last reported sale price or the latest bid price may be used if
there were no sales on a particular day; (5) listed options are valued at the
latest sale price on the exchange on which they are listed unless no sales of
such options have taken place that day, in which case they are valued at the
mean between their latest bid and asked price; (6) futures are valued at the
latest price published by the commodities exchange on which they trade; (7) when
market quotations are not readily available, Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors
Inc. (the "Investment Adviser") (and/or, in the case of Global
143
<Page>
Dividend Growth and European Equity, Morgan Stanley Investment Management
Limited, (the "Sub Adviser")) determines that the latest sale price, the bid
price or the mean between the last reported bid and asked price do not reflect a
security's market value, portfolio securities are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general
supervision of the Trustees. Occasionally, developments affecting the closing
prices of securities and other assets may occur between the times at which
valuation of such securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign
market on which the securities trade ) and the close of business on the NYSE. If
developments occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect
the value of such securities, such valuation may be adjusted to reflect the
estimated fair value of such securities as of the close of the NYSE, as
determined in good faith by the Fund's Trustees or by the Investment Adviser
using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Trustees of the Fund;
(8) certain of the Fund's portfolio securities may be valued by an outside
pricing service approved by the Trustees and; (9) short-term debt securities
having a maturity date of more than sixty days at the time of purchase are
valued on a mark-to-market basis until sixty days prior to maturity and
thereafter at amortized cost based on their value on the 61st day. Short-term
debt securities having a maturity date of sixty days or less at the time of
purchase are valued at amortized cost.
B. ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS -- Security transactions are accounted for on the
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and
losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method.
Dividend income and other distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date
except for certain dividends on foreign securities which are recorded as soon as
the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued
daily except where collection is not expected. The Fund amortizes premiums and
accretes discounts over the life of the respective securities.
C. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may invest directly with institutions in
repurchase agreements. The Fund's custodian receives the collateral, which is
marked-to-market daily to determine that the value of the collateral does not
decrease below the repurchase price plus accrued interest.
D. MULTIPLE CLASS ALLOCATIONS -- Investment income, expenses (other than
distribution fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated
to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value on the date such
items are recognized. Distribution fees are charged directly to the respective
class.
E. OPTIONS -- When the Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium
received is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a
liability which is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market
value of the option written. If a written option either expires or the Fund
enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain or loss
without regard to any unrealized gain or
144
<Page>
loss on the underlying security or currently and the liability related to such
option is extinguished. If a written call option is exercised, the Fund realized
a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security or currency and the
proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received.
When the Fund purchases a call or put option, the premium paid is recorded as an
investment and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market
value. If a purchased option expires, the Fund will realize a loss to the extent
of the premium paid. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain
or loss is realized for the difference between the proceeds from the sale and
the cost of the option. If a put option is exercised, the cost of the security
or currency sold upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.
If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased upon exercise
will be increased by the premium originally paid.
F. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- A futures contract is an agreement between two parties
to buy and sell financial instruments or contracts based on financial indices at
a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Fund is
required to pledge to the broker cash, U.S. Government securities or other
liquid portfolio securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of
the applicable futures exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to
receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily
fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments, known as
variation margin, are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Upon
closing of the contract, the Fund realizes a 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.
G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The
books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the
foreign currency market value of investment securities, other assets and
liabilities and forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") are
translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period; and (2)
purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange
gains and losses are recorded as realized and unrealized gain/loss on foreign
exchange transactions. Pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations, certain
foreign exchange gains/losses included in realized and unrealized gain/loss are
included in or are a reduction of ordinary income for federal income tax
purposes. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in
the market prices of the securities held. Forward contracts are valued daily at
the appropriate exchange rates. The resultant unrealized exchange gains and
losses are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gain or loss. The Fund
145
<Page>
records realized gains or losses on delivery of the currency or at the time the
forward contract is extinguished (compensated) by entering into a closing
transaction prior to delivery.
H. FEDERAL INCOME TAX POLICY -- It is the Fund's policy to comply individually
for each Portfolio with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision
is required.
I. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- The Fund records dividends and
distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date.
J. EXPENSES -- Direct expenses are charged to the respective Portfolio and
general Fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets or
equally among the Portfolios. The expense offset represents a reduction of the
custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by a Portfolio.
K. USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY/ADMINISTRATION AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Fund has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
certain independent Trustees of the Fund who will have served as independent
Trustees for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this
plan are based on factors which include years of service and compensation. The
Trustees voted to close the plan to new participants and eliminate the future
benefits growth due to increases to compensation after July 31, 2003.

The Fund has an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Compensation Plan")
which allows each independent Trustee to defer payment of all, or a portion, of
the fees he receives for serving on the Board of Trustees. Each eligible Trustee
generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to
the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley funds that are offered as
investment options under the Compensation Plan. Appreciation/depreciation and
distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting
increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the
net asset value of the Fund.
5. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net
realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts
are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis
treatment; temporary differences do not require
151
<Page>
reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of
paid-in-capital.
As of December 31, 2005, the following Portfolios had a net capital loss
carryforward which may be used to offset future capital gains to the extent
provided by regulations:

permanent differences attributable to book amortization of premiums/discounts on
debt securities: Limited Duration, Income Plus, High Yield, Utilities, Income
Builder and Strategist.
6. PURPOSES OF AND RISKS RELATING TO CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
All of the Portfolios (except for Money Market, Income Plus, and S&P 500 Index)
may enter into forward contracts to facilitate settlement of foreign currency
denominated foreign securities.
Forward contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts
reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The respective Portfolios
bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rates underlying
the forward contracts. Risks may also arise upon entering into these forward
contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms
of their contracts.
All Portfolios (except Money Market, High Yield, Income Builder, Dividend Growth
and Equity) may invest in futures contracts. Futures contracts involve elements
of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities. The respective Portfolios bear the risk of an unfavorable change in
the value of the underlying securities. Risks may also arise upon entering into
these futures contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to
meet the terms of their contracts.
At June 30, 2006, European Equity's investments in securities of issuers in the
United Kingdom and France represented 31.0% and 13.2%, respectively, of the
Portfolio's net assets. These investments, which involve risks and
considerations not present with respect to U.S. securities, may be affected by
economic or political developments in these regions.
At June 30, 2006, Global Dividend Growth and European Equity cash balances
consisted principally of interest bearing deposits with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank,
the custodian of each Portfolio.
7. PORTFOLIO LIQUIDATION
On June 16, 2006, the shareholders of the Information Portfolio approved its
liquidation. On June 23, 2006, the Portfolio was liquidated and the value of the
Portfolio's shares were transferred to the Money Market Portfolio.
8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an
interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position
must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Fund will
adopt FIN 48 during 2007 and the impact to the Fund's financial statements, if
any, is currently being assessed.
