ALPS VARIABLE INVESTMENT TRUST

Annual Shareholder Report December 31, 2025

This annual shareholder report contains important information about Morningstar Conservative ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio (the "Portfolio") for the period of January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (the "Period"). You can find additional information about the Portfolio at https://www.alpsfunds.com/variable-insurance-trusts/cetfx. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1-866-432-2926.

WHAT WERE THE PORTFOLIO COSTS FOR THE PAST YEAR?
(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
Costs of a $10,000 Investment Costs Paid as a Percentage of a $10,000 Investment
Class I $55 0.53%
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM FOR THE PERIOD AND WHAT IMPACTED PERFORMANCE?

The Morningstar Conservative ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio Class I returned 9.11% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2025. The Portfolio underperformed the Conservative Blended Benchmark-1 (20% Equity), which returned 10.09% during the same period. The Portfolio underperformed the Blended Secondary Benchmark which returned 9.23% during the same period. The Portfolio was last reallocated in May 2025 and reflected a broad allocation within fixed income and a 20% allocation to equity.

Top contributors to relative performance in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 included the following:

  • The Portfolio benefitted from broad international developed exposure that outperformed the Morningstar Global Markets xUS Index over the fiscal year. International developed significantly underperformed U.S. equity in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 but outperformed U.S. equities during the fiscal year ended 2025.

  • Emerging market bonds (dollar denominated) and equities ranked high in the Portfolio's active return and exceeded the FTSE WGBI NonUSD Index and Morningstar Global Markets xUS Index in 2025.

  • U.S. high yield, credit, and mortgage-backed securities exposures outperformed the Bloomberg US Universal Index during 2025.

Top detractors to relative performance in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 included the following:

  • International developed bonds with currency hedged underperformed the FTSE WGBI NonUSD Index in 2025. The main driver of international developed bond performance in 2025 was a positive currency contribution. The Portfolio's international developed bond exposure hedges out the currency effect which has added value over time but not in 2025.

  • Bond maturity and duration had an outsized impact on relative performance during 2025. The Portfolio's intermediate, or 5-10 year maturities segment outperformed short-term and long-term bonds during 2025. The Portfolio's short-term bond allocation and total bond market exposures underperformed the Bloomberg US Universal Index during 2025.

You can find additional information about the Portfolio at https://www.alpsfunds.com/variable-insurance-trusts/alefx. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1-866-432-2926.

Costs of a $10,000 Investment Costs Paid as a Percentage of a $10,000 Investment
Class I $97 0.95%
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM FOR THE PERIOD AND WHAT IMPACTED PERFORMANCE?

The ALPS | Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio Class I delivered a total return of 5.09% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025. This compares to the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Total Return Index, which increased 6.58% on a total-return basis. Subsector performance varied, as three of the five subsectors in the Portfolio saw total returns above 10%, while the Liquefaction subsector experienced a decline of over 20% for the twelve-month period. The US oil benchmark declined 19.94% for the year, while natural gas prices were essentially flat for the year, up 1.46% during the period.

The best-performing subsector in the portfolio was Pipeline Transportation | Petroleum, followed by Storage, which only includes one company. Within these subsectors, the four Canadian companies performed well, while other names benefitted from asset sales or tailwinds from strong dividend growth. Gathering & Processing and Pipeline Transportation | Natural Gas saw more muted gains in 2025, following total returns of ~50% in 2024. Of the five subsectors in the Portfolio, Liquefaction had the lowest total return for the period, down 22.39% driven by weakening global LNG supply-demand fundamentals and company-specific news.

WHAT WERE THE PORTFOLIO COSTS FOR THE PAST YEAR?
(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
Costs of a $10,000 Investment Costs Paid as a Percentage of a $10,000 Investment
Class III $133 1.30%
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM FOR THE PERIOD AND WHAT IMPACTED PERFORMANCE?

The ALPS | Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio Class III delivered a total return of 4.66% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025. This compares to the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Total Return Index, which increased 6.58% on a total-return basis. Subsector performance varied, as three of the five subsectors in the Portfolio saw total returns above 10%, while the Liquefaction subsector experienced a decline of over 20% for the twelve-month period. The US oil benchmark declined 19.94% for the year, while natural gas prices were essentially flat for the year, up 1.46% during the period.

The best-performing subsector in the portfolio was Pipeline Transportation | Petroleum, followed by Storage, which only includes one company. Within these subsectors, the four Canadian companies performed well, while other names benefitted from asset sales or tailwinds from strong dividend growth. Gathering & Processing and Pipeline Transportation | Natural Gas saw more muted gains in 2025, following total returns of ~50% in 2024. Of the five subsectors in the Portfolio, Liquefaction had the lowest total return for the period, down 22.39% driven by weakening global LNG supply-demand fundamentals and company-specific news.

ALPS Variable Investment Trust

Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights December 31, 2025

1. ORGANIZATION

ALPS Variable Investment Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Delaware business trust by a Declaration of Trust dated July 26, 2000. The Schedules of Investments herein relate to the following seven series of the Trust: Morningstar Conservative ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio, Morningstar Income and Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio, Morningstar Balanced ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio, Morningstar Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio, Morningstar Aggressive Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio (each a "Morningstar Portfolio," and collectively The "Morningstar Portfolios"), the ALPS|Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio, and the ALPS Global Opportunity Portfolio (collectively the "Portfolios"). The ALPS|Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio is considered non-diversified under the 1940 Act and may invest a greater portion of its assets in a more limited number of issuers than a diversified portfolio. The Morningstar Portfolios and the ALPS Global Opportunity Portfolio are each considered diversified under the 1940 Act.

The Morningstar Portfolios offer Class I and Class II shares. The ALPS | Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio and the ALPS Global Opportunity Portfolio offer Class I and Class III shares. Each class has equal rights as to class and voting privileges. The classes differ principally in the applicable distribution and shareholder service fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Portfolios and earn income and realized gains/losses from the Portfolios pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Common expenses of the Portfolios (including legal fees, printing and mailing fees, and fees and expenses of the independent trustees) are allocated to each Portfolio in proportion to its average daily net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a particular Portfolio (including advisory, custodial, registration, professional and audit fees) are charged directly to that Portfolio. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if applicable.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties with respect to the Portfolios. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, enters into contracts with vendors and others that provide general indemnification to the extent permissible under law. Each Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust and/or the Portfolios.

The Portfolios are investment vehicles for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. The Portfolios also may be used as investment vehicles for qualified pension and retirement plans and certain registered and unregistered separate accounts. Shares of the Portfolios are offered only to participating insurance companies and their separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, qualified pensions, retirement plans or registered and unregistered separate accounts. Shares are not offered to the general public.

Each variable annuity contract and variable life insurance policy owner ("Contract Owner") and retirement plan participant ("Participant") also incurs fees associated with the variable annuity, variable life insurance or retirement plan through which he or she invested. As a Contract Owner or Participant, you may incur additional fees and different terms and conditions associated with your investment program that are not disclosed in the Portfolios' Financial Statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Portfolios' financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets resulting from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. In regards to Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") monitors the operating results of each Portfolio as a whole. The Portfolios' Treasurer is the CODM for each Portfolio. Each Portfolio's financial information is used by the CODM to assess each segment's performance. The CODM has determined that each Portfolio is a single operating segment as defined by ASU 2023-07 that recognizes revenues and incurs expenses. This is supported by the single investment strategy of each Portfolio, against which the CODM assesses performance.

Security Valuation: The price of Portfolio shares ("net asset value") is determined as of the close of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), on each day the NYSE is open for business. Securities, including Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") and Exchange Traded Notes ("ETNs") for which exchange quotations are readily available, are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price or if traded on the over-the-counter market, at the mean between the last bid and ask price. Shares of an open-end investment company are valued at that investment company's net asset value per share. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued under procedures utilized by the Valuation Designee to determine fair value in good faith. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") designated ALPS Advisors, Inc. (the "Adviser") as the valuation designee ("Valuation Designee") for each Portfolio to perform the fair value determinations relating to Portfolio investments. The Adviser may carry out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through various teams and committees.

37 | December 31, 2025

ALPS Variable Investment Trust

Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights December 31, 2025

Securities traded on one or more of the U.S. national securities exchanges, the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC or any foreign stock exchange will be valued at the last sale price or the official closing price on the exchange or system where such securities are principally traded for the business day as of which such value is being determined.

Each Portfolio's investments are valued at market value or, in the absence of market value with respect to any portfolio securities, at fair value in good faith by the Valuation Designee. When market quotations are not readily available, or in management's judgment they do not accurately reflect fair value of a security, or an event occurs after the market close but before the Portfolio is priced that materially affects the value of a security, the securities will be valued by the Valuation Designee using fair valuation procedures utilized by the Valuation Designee. Examples of potentially significant events that could materially impact the value of a security include, but are not limited to, company specific announcements, significant market volatility, natural disasters, armed conflicts, significant governmental actions, or a security's trading has been halted, suspended or the security has not traded since the prior day and the closure of the primary trading market at a time when under normal conditions it would be open.

In the case of foreign securities, management may consider the following when determining the "fair value" of a security: (a) the country's or geographic region's political and economic environment; (b) the nature of any significant events which have occurred from the time of the market quotation to the valuation of each Portfolio's net asset value which may materially impact each Portfolio's net asset valuation; (c) American Depository Receipt trading; (d) Exchange-Traded Fund trading; (e) foreign currency exchange activity; (f) other relevant matters; and (g) if a stock split occurs on a Japanese exchange, management will fair value using the last day of trading price until the security commences trading again.

ALPS Global Opportunity Portfolio uses a fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service, which is intended to reflect fair value when a security's value or a meaningful portion of the Portfolio is believed to have been materially affected by a valuation event that has occurred between the close of the exchange or market on which the security is traded and the close of the regular trading on the NYSE.

If the current price of a foreign security is unavailable as a result of a foreign stock exchange's closure for a foreign holiday, such foreign security's value will be the closing price of such security on the last day such foreign exchange was open, adjusted by the current foreign exchange rate, assuming there are no significant events which occurred which may materially impact each Portfolio's net asset value determination.

Fair Value Measurements: The Portfolios disclose the classification of their fair value measurements following a three-tier hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.

Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolios' investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, exchange-traded funds and limited partnerships for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices on such day and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when each Portfolio's assets are valued. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Foreign currency contracts, including forward contracts, are valued at the applicable translation rates as supplied by the third-party pricing vendor.

ALPS Variable Investment Trust

Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights December 31, 2025

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Portfolio's investments as of the reporting period end. When inputs used fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls for an investment is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

Level 1 -

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Portfolio has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 -

Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 - Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Portfolio's investments as of the year ended December 31, 2025:

The Portfolios did not have significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in determining fair value and there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Income Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, the Portfolios currently qualify, and intend to remain qualified, as regulated investment companies under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), by distributing substantially all of their investment company taxable net income including realized gain, not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes have been made.

As of and during the year ended December 31, 2025, each Portfolio did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefit. Each Portfolio files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. Each Portfolio's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes. The Portfolios recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. As of, and during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Portfolios did not recognize interest and penalties related to tax liabilities.

The Treasury Department has issued Regulations under Code Section 817(h) that pertain to diversification requirements for variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. Each Portfolio intends to comply with these diversification requirements.

Expenses: Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a Portfolio. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Portfolios based on average net assets. Expenses are allocated among classes within a Portfolio based on daily class level net assets, except for distribution fees associated with each Portfolio's Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act ("12b-1 fees") which are only allocated to the Class II shares and Class III shares. In addition, Class III shares and certain Class I shares are also offered with fees for non-distribution related services provided to Shareholders, under a shareholder services plan.

Distributions to Shareholders: Each Portfolio currently intends to declare and pay capital gains and income dividends, if any, on an annual basis. All dividends and capital gains distributions paid by the Portfolios will be automatically reinvested, at net asset value, in additional shares of the Portfolios unless otherwise indicated. There is no fixed dividend rate and there can be no assurance that the Portfolios will pay any dividends or realize any capital gains. Any net capital gains earned by each Portfolio are distributed at least annually to the extent necessary to avoid federal income and excise taxes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Portfolio on the ex-dividend date.

ALPS Variable Investment Trust

Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights December 31, 2025

Master Limited Partnerships ("MLPs"): Pursuant to Section 851(b)(3) of the Code, the ALPS | Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio may invest no more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships, which include MLPs. Unlike direct investments in MLPs, income and losses from the ALPS | Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio's investments in MLPs will not directly flow through to the personal tax returns of shareholders. The ALPS | Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio will report distributions from its investments, including MLPs, made to shareholders annually on Form 1099. Shareholders will not, solely by virtue of their status as ALPS | Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio shareholders, be treated as engaged in the business conducted by underlying MLPs for federal or state income tax purposes or for purposes of the tax on unrelated business income of tax-exempt organizations. MLPs are publicly traded partnerships engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage and processing of minerals and natural resources, and are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. By confining their operations to these specific activities, MLP interests, or units, are able to trade on public securities exchanges exactly like the shares of a corporation, without entity level income taxation. To qualify as an MLP and not be taxed as a corporation for income tax purposes, a partnership must, for any taxable year, receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources as set forth in Section 7704(d) of the Code. These qualifying sources include, among other things, certain natural resource-based activities such as the processing, transportation and storage of any mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of owners, the general partner and limited partners. The general partner of an MLP is typically owned by a major energy company, an investment fund, the direct management of the MLP, or is an entity owned by one or more of such parties. The general partner may be structured as a private or publicly traded corporation or other entity. The general partner typically controls the operations and management of the MLP through an up to 2% equity interest in the MLP plus, in many cases, ownership of common units and subordinated units. Limited partners typically own the remainder of the partnership, through ownership of common units, and have a limited role in the partnership's operations and management.

Selected Risks

In the normal course of business, each Portfolio's investment activities expose it to various types of risks associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. Significant types of financial risks the Portfolios are exposed to include market risk, equity securities risk, concentration risk and non-U.S. securities risk. Each Portfolio's prospectus and statement of additional information provide details of these and other types of risk.

Market Risk: Market risk refers to the risk that the value of securities held by a Portfolio may decline due to daily fluctuations in the securities markets that are generally beyond the Adviser's or Sub-Adviser's control, including fluctuation in interest rates, the quality of a Portfolio's investments, investor sentiment and general economic and market conditions, such as national or international political events, natural disasters, and the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue and investor sentiment. In a declining stock market, stock prices for all companies (including those in a Portfolio's portfolio) may decline, regardless of their long-term prospects.

Equity Securities Risk: Common stock and other equity securities may be affected by macro-economic and other factors affecting the stock market in general, including without limitation, expectations of interest rates, changes in an issuer's financial condition, poor performance of a particular issuer, national or international political events, natural disasters, and the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue.

Concentration Risk: The performance of the Portfolios may be directly affected by the performance of the underlying investments in other investment companies. As of December 31, 2025, the Morningstar Conservative ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio and the Morningstar Income and Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio held more than 25% of its assets in the Vanguard® Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF. The financial statements of the Vanguard® Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF, including the portfolio of investments, are included in the NCSR filings for the Vanguard® Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF dated March 4, 2025, available at www.sec.gov or can be found at www.investor.vanguard.com and should be read in conjunction with the Portfolio's financial statements, though this information is not incorporated herein by reference.

Non-U.S. Securities Risk: The ALPS | Alerian Energy Infrastructure Portfolio and the ALPS Global Opportunity Portfolio invest directly in securities of non-U.S. issuers which involve risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities and instruments of U.S. issuers. Non-U.S. securities exchanges, brokers and companies may be subject to less government supervision and regulation than exists in the U.S. Dividend and interest income may be subject to withholding and other non-U.S. taxes, which may adversely affect the net return on such investments. There may be difficulty in obtaining or enforcing a court judgment abroad. In addition, it may be difficult to effect repatriation of capital invested in certain countries. When investing in securities issued by non-U.S. issuers, there is also the risk that the value of such an investment, measured in U.S. dollars, will decrease because of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.

ALPS Variable Investment Trust

Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights December 31, 2025

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Investment security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, as soon as information is available to a Portfolio. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, 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 on the Portfolios books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments insecurities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The ALPS Global Opportunity Portfolio engaged in currency transactions with counterparties during the year ended December 31, 2025 to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value, to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies, or to generate income or gains. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolios' as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through delivery, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.

Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolios bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

The table below is a summary of the fair valuations of derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure.

Fair values of forward foreign currency contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations as of December 31, 2025:

Other cumulative effect of timing differences relate to passive losses from partnership investments.

The amounts reclassified did not affect net assets. The reclassifications were as follows:
