Nomura VIP Growth and Income Series employs a systematic large-cap value approach using behavioral finance and proprietary signals in an effort to generate consistent income and capital appreciation with strong risk-adjusted returns while minimizing downside surprises.
Data driven
An investment approach which is backed by data, seeks to remove emotional biases inherent in stock picking
Systematic edge
Systematic process evaluating stocks through diversified signals seeks to optimize risk-adjusted returns and reduce negative surprises
Alpha generation
Aims to consistently deliver returns in excess of the benchmark through various market conditions
Emotions influence investor behavior and create systematic opportunities for alpha generation.
Systematically identifying and seeking to exploit these emotional biases that create market inefficiencies drives the investment approach.
Methodical conversion of psychological patterns into disciplined investment signals aims to transform investor irrationality into consistent alpha generation.
Leveraging data and technology to identify attractive opportunities by collecting millions of data points weekly, converting the data into proven investment signals that identify opportunities and manage risk, and systematically combining these signals in pursuit of constructing optimized portfolios.
Removing human behavioral biases through quantitative methods aims to deliver consistent outperformance through small, deliberate adjustments that compound over time.
Broad diversification across market conditions seeks to maintain portfolio resilience while the systematic approach adapts to changing environments.

The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.
Total returns may reflect waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the manager and/or distributor (as applicable) for some or all of the periods shown. Performance would have been lower without such waivers and reimbursements.
Returns for less than one year are not annualized.
The performance and expense ratio information shown represent the performance and fees as they relate to actual shares of the Series. These examples do not include any fees or sales charges imposed by the variable insurance contract for which the Series is an investment option. If they were included, your costs would be higher and performance would be lower. Investors should consult the contract prospectus or disclosure documents for more information.
Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.
Investing in the real estate industry includes risks such as declines in real estate value, lack of availability of mortgage funds, overbuilding, extended vacancies, increases in property taxes, changes in zoning laws, costs from clean-up of environmental problems, uninsured damages, variations in rents, and changes in interest rates. The value of an investment in a real estate investment trust (REIT) may be adversely affected by various factors, including interest rate changes, changes in property values, changes in dividend payments, loss of the REIT's ability to qualify for pass-through tax treatment under federal tax laws, or the REIT's failure to maintain its exemption from registration as an investment company.
Stock prices may decline over short or even extended periods due to general economic and market conditions, adverse political or regulatory developments or interest rate fluctuations. While dividend-paying stocks are generally considered less volatile than other stocks, there can be no guarantee that an investment therein will be less volatile than the general stock market. The Series' investments in potential growth opportunities may increase the potential volatility of its share price. Adverse market events may lead in increased redemptions, which could cause the Series to experience a loss or difficulty in selling securities to meet redemptions
A "value stock" is a stock that is believed to be undervalued. Investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks are appropriately valued or that the stocks may decline in value.
At times, the Series may not be able to identify attractive dividend-paying stocks. The income received by the Series will also fluctuate due to the amount of dividends that companies elect to pay, which could adversely affect the Series' ability to pay dividends and its share price.
The risk that the securities selected by a series' management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices, or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. The securities and sectors selected may vary from the securities and sectors included in the relevant index
