Investment Objective

The Portfolio seeks to track the performance of a market-weighted bond index with a short-term dollar-weighted average maturity.

Investment Strategy

This index includes all medium and larger issues of U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds that have maturities of between 1 and 5 years and are publicly issued.

Investment Risks

The Portfolio is subject to investment rate risk, income risk, credit risk, call risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and index sampling risk.

Index performance is provided as a benchmark but is not illustrative of any particular investment. An investment cannot be made in an index.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance - especially short-term past performance - is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so that investors' units, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data cited.
