Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation (the “Adviser”) has contractually
agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses) exceed 0.61% of the Fund’s average
daily net assets for the Standard Class (and 0.71% for the Standard Class II and 0.86% for the Service Class). Any reimbursements made by the Adviser are subject to
recoupment from the Fund within three years after the occurrence of the reimbursement, provided that such recoupment shall not be made if it would cause annual Fund operating
expenses of a class of the Fund to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the reimbursement, or (b) the current expense limitation in
effect, if any. The agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2027 and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Fund’s Board of Trustees and the Adviser.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example illustrates the hypothetical expenses that you would incur over the time periods indicated if you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s shares. The example also assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or lower than this example. This example does not reflect any variable contract expenses. If variable contract expenses were included, the expenses shown would be higher. The results apply whether or not you redeem your investment at the end of the given period.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s
portfolio turnover rate was 66% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment
Strategies
American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the
“Sub-Adviser”) serves as the Fund’s sub-adviser. The Sub-Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s assets.
In selecting stocks for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser looks for companies of all
sizes whose stock price may not reflect the company’s value. The Sub-Adviser attempts to purchase the stocks of these undervalued companies and hold each stock until
the price has increased to, or is higher than, a level the managers believe more accurately reflects the fair value of the company. The Sub-Adviser uses a variety of analytical research tools and techniques to help it make decisions about buying or holding securities of companies that meet its investment criteria and selling the securities of companies that do not.
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in foreign securities
when these securities meet the Sub-Adviser’s standards of selection.
The Sub-Adviser may sell stocks from the Fund’s portfolio if it believes a stock no longer meets the Sub-Adviser’s valuation criteria, a stock’s risk parameters outweigh its return opportunity, more attractive alternatives are identified or specific events alter a stock’s prospects.
Principal Risks
•
Market Risk. The value of portfolio investments may decline. As a result, your investment in
the Fund may decline in value and you could lose money.
•
Stock/Equity Investing Risk. Stocks and other equities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over
short time periods. Equity prices overall may decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices.
•
Issuer Risk. The prices of, and the income generated by, portfolio securities may decline in response to various factors directly related to the issuers of such securities.
•
Active Management Risk. The portfolio investments are actively-managed, rather than tracking an index or rigidly following certain
rules, which may negatively affect investment performance. Consequently, there is the risk that the methods and analyses, including models, tools and data, employed in this
process may be flawed or incorrect and may not produce desired results.
•
Small- and Medium-Cap Company Risk. The value of securities issued by small- and medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt market
movements and may involve greater risks than investments in larger companies. These less developed, lesser-known companies may experience greater risks than those normally
associated with larger companies. Small- and medium-sized companies also may be subject to interest rate risk, which is generally associated with fixed income securities,
because these companies often borrow money to finance their operations; therefore, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates.
•
Value Stocks Risk. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets
compared to other types of stocks, such as growth stocks. Value stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time, may not ever realize their potential value, and may even go down in price.
•
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives or other similar instruments (referred to collectively as “derivatives”), such as futures, forwards, options, swaps, structured securities and other similar instruments, are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivatives may involve costs and risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the costs and risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives prices can be volatile, may correlate imperfectly with price of the applicable underlying asset, reference rate or index and may move in unexpected ways, especially in unusual market conditions, such as markets with high volatility or large market declines. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. Other risks include liquidity risk, which refers to the potential inability to terminate or sell derivative positions and for derivatives to create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. Further, losses could result if the counterparty to a transaction does not perform as promised. Derivatives that involve a small initial investment relative to the investment risk assumed can magnify or otherwise increase investment losses. This is referred to as financial “leverage” due to the potential for greater investment loss. Derivatives are also subject to operational and legal risks.
•
Forwards Risk. The Fund’s use of forwards can involve greater risks than if the Fund were to invest directly in the underlying securities or assets. Because forwards often involve leverage, their use can significantly magnify the effect of price movements of the underlying securities or reference measures, disproportionately increasing the Fund’s losses and reducing the Fund’s opportunities for gains. Forward transactions traded over-the-counter and not cleared through a central counterparty may not get the expected payment or delivery of assets. If a forward counterparty fails to meet its obligations under the contract, the Fund may lose money.
•
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund cannot meet requests to redeem Fund-issued shares without significantly diluting the remaining investors’ interest in the Fund. This may result when portfolio holdings may be difficult to value and may be difficult to sell, both at the time or price desired. Liquidity risk also may result from increased shareholder redemptions in the Fund. Actions by governments and regulators may have the effect of reducing market liquidity, market resiliency and money supply. Liquidity risk also refers to the risk that the Fund may be required to hold additional cash or sell other investments in
2LVIP American Century Value
Fund
order to obtain cash to
close out derivatives or meet the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties. The Fund
may have to sell a security at a disadvantageous time or price to meet such obligations. The Fund’s liquidity risk management program requires that the Fund invest no
more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
Fund Performance
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of choosing to invest in the Fund. The
information shows: (a) how the Fund's Standard Class II investment results have varied from year to year; and (b) how the average annual total returns of the Fund's Standard Class, Standard Class II and Service Class compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. Once the Standard Class of the Fund has had at least one full year of performance, average annual total
returns will be included in this prospectus. The bar chart shows performance of
the Fund's Standard Class II shares, but does not reflect the impact of variable contract expenses. If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the average annual returns table does not reflect the impact of variable contract expenses.
The Fund's past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Purchase and Sale of Fund
Shares
Fund shares are available as underlying investment options for
variable life insurance and variable annuity products issued by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Lincoln Life & Annuity Company
of New York (“LNY”), and unaffiliated insurance companies. These insurance companies are the record owners of the separate accounts holding the Fund’s
shares. You do not buy, sell or exchange Fund shares directly – you choose investment options through your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. The insurance companies then cause the separate accounts to purchase and redeem Fund shares according to the investment options you choose. Fund shares also may be available for investment by certain funds of the Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Tax Information
In general, contract owners are taxed only on Fund amounts they withdraw from their variable accounts. Contract owners should consult their contract Prospectus for more information on the federal income tax consequences to them regarding their indirect investment in the Fund. Contract owners also may wish to consult with their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of investments in variable contracts and the Fund, including application of state and local taxes.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and other Financial Intermediaries
Shares of the Fund are available only through the purchase of variable contracts
issued by certain life insurance companies. Parties related to the Fund (such as the Fund's principal underwriter or investment adviser) may pay such insurance companies (or
their related companies) for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest and may influence the insurance company to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contracts. Such insurance companies (or their related companies) may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks) for the sale and retention of variable contracts that offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries to recommend variable contracts that offer Fund shares. The prospectus or other disclosure documents for the variable contracts may contain additional information about these payments, if any. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
