Investment Strategy
The fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly from current income, by primarily investing in a portfolio of fixed-income securities that is designed to produce a return that corresponds with the total return of the U.S. investment-grade bond market based on a broad bond index. It typically invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds within its benchmark and portfolio tracking index. The fund uses a sampling technique to create a portfolio that closely matches the overall investment characteristics of its benchmark (including duration, sector diversification and credit quality) without investing in all of the securities in that index. Generally, the fund invests in a wide spectrum of public, investment-grade, taxable debt securities, including government securities.Investment Expenses, Sales Charges, and Fees

Impact of Expenses and Fees
The table below assumes the investor invests $10,000 on the first day of year one and that the original investment earns a continuous 5% return. In addition, it assumes the
investor reinvests all earnings, and makes no additional contributions. The 5% rate of return is hypothetical and used only to illustrate the respective impacts of different fee
amounts on each investment. It is not intended to predict future investment returns.
Calculations are done by the 403bCompare site in an effort to provide a standardized comparison of the impact of all fees associated with an investment option. This includes all
required 403(b) product-level fees, and investment-level fees. For more information on fees or expenses associated with a 403(b) product or investment option, please refer
