Investment Strategy:

The Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets, in equity and equity-related securities of companies with market capitalizations greater than $1 billion at the time of purchase. In selecting investments, greater consideration is given to potential appreciation and future dividends than to current income. The Portfolio may hold ADRs and other securities of foreign issuers which are denominated in dollars.

Portfolio Managers:

The team of portfolio managers for the Large Cap Blend Portfolio includes Terry Berkemeier, Michael Ericksen, David Fisher, Karen Miller, Theodore Samuels, Eric Stern and Alan Wilson, who have an average of 22 years with Capital Guardian and 26 years of investment experience. Additionally, a segment of the portfolio is managed by a group of research analysts.

You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, expenses and charges of the investment company before you invest. Your Northwestern Mutual Investment Services Registered Representative can provide you with a contract and fund prospectus that will contain the information noted above, and other important information that you should read carefully before you invest or send money.
