However, the investment manager makes investment decisionsbased upon its own fundamental analysis, which affects the Fund’s sector, credit and duration exposuresso that they may vary from the benchmark index. Investment grade debt securities are securities thatare rated at the time of purchase in the top four ratings categories by one or more independent ratingorganizations such as S&P® Global Ratings (S&P®)(rated BBB- or better) or Moody’s Ratings (Moody’s) (rated Baa3 or higher) or, if unrated,are determined to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s investment manager.An asset-backed securityis a security backed by loans, leases, and other receivables.

These derivatives may be used to enhance Fund returns, increase liquidity, gain exposure to certaininstruments or markets in a more efficient or less expensive way and/or hedge risks associated with itsother portfolio investments.
