Standardized and Tax Adjusted Returns Disclosure Statement
The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will
fluctuate; thus an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than return
data quoted herein. For performance data current to the most recent month-end please visit http://advisor.morningstar.com/familyinfo.asp.
Standardized Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. They depict performance without adjusting for the effects of taxation, but are adjusted to
reflect sales charges and ongoing fund expenses.
If adjusted for taxation, the performance quoted would be significantly reduced. For variable annuities, additional expenses will be taken into account, including
M&E risk charges, fund-level expenses such as management fees and operating fees, contract-level administration fees, and charges such as surrender, contract,
and sales charges. The maximum redemption fee is the maximum amount a fund may charge if redeemed in a specific time period after the fund’s purchase.
After-tax returns are calculated using the highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-
tax returns depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund
shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or an IRA. After-tax returns exclude the effects of either the alternative minimum tax or phase-out of
certain tax credits. Any taxes due are as of the time the distributions are made, and the taxable amount and tax character of each distribution are as specified by
the fund on the dividend declaration date. Due to foreign tax credits or realized capital losses, after-tax returns may be greater than before-tax returns. After-tax
returns for exchange-traded funds are based on net asset value.
Money Market Fund Disclosures
If money market fund(s) are included in the Standardized Returns table below, each money market fund’s name will be followed by a superscripted letter that links
it to the applicable disclosure below:
Institutional Money Market Funds (designated by an “S”):
You could lose money by investing in the fund. Because the share price of the fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than
what you originally paid for them. The fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity
falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not
expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.
Government Money Market Funds that have chosen to rely on the ability to impose liquidity fees and suspend redemptions (designated by an ”L” )
and
Retail Money Market Funds (designated by an “L”):
You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do
so. The fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums
because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide
financial support to the fund at any time.
Government Money Market Funds that have chosen not to rely on the ability to impose liquidity fees and suspend redemptions (designated by an
“N”):
You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do
so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no
legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

reflect sales charges and ongoing fund expenses.
If adjusted for taxation, the performance quoted would be significantly reduced. For variable annuities, additional expenses will be taken into account, including
M&E risk charges, fund-level expenses such as management fees and operating fees, contract-level administration fees, and charges such as surrender, contract,
and sales charges. The maximum redemption fee is the maximum amount a fund may charge if redeemed in a specific time period after the fund’s purchase.
After-tax returns are calculated using the highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-
tax returns depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund
shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or an IRA. After-tax returns exclude the effects of either the alternative minimum tax or phase-out of
certain tax credits. Any taxes due are as of the time the distributions are made, and the taxable amount and tax character of each distribution are as specified by
the fund on the dividend declaration date. Due to foreign tax credits or realized capital losses, after-tax returns may be greater than before-tax returns. After-tax
returns for exchange-traded funds are based on net asset value.
