Blackrock US Small/Mid Cap Equity Index Portfolio

AS OF 2023-12-31
INVESTMENT STRATEGY:

The portfolio invests in a collective investment trust fund maintained and managed by BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. ("BTC"). The Fund shall be invested and reinvested in a portfolio of equity securities with the objective of approximating as closely as practicable the capitalization weighted total return of that segment of the U.S. market for publicly traded equity securities represented by the Russell 2500 Index (the "Underlying Index"). BTC uses a "passive" or indexing approach to try to achieve the Fund's investment objective. Unlike many funds, the Fund does not try to outperform the index it seeks to track and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. BTC uses a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage the Fund.
