Principal Risks include: Capital Preservation, Contract Risk, Equity Wash, Private Fund and Wrap Fee. See disclosure for details.
Capital Preservation The fund seeks capital preservation, but there can be no assurances that it will achieve this goal.
Contract Risk There are some risks associated with the group annuity contract, including, but not limited to the risk that the issuer defaults on its obligations under the contract or that other events could render the contract invalid; the risk that the contract is terminated and, as a result, payments from the contract are subject to a negative market value adjustment or are paid over an extended period of time, depending on the terms of the particular contract; the risk that certain actions taken by an employer or plan sponsor (for example, mergers, spin-offs, lay-offs, early retirement incentives, bankruptcy of the plan sponsor) could, depending on the type of contract, result in participant withdrawals and transfers being subject to payment restrictions, withdrawal charges or negative market value adjustments.
Equity Wash Transfers from the Stable Value Fund to a competing fund are subject to a standard 90-day equity wash provision. Competing funds include other stable value investments, money markets and most fixed income funds with a duration of 3 years or less.
Private Fund The fund is not a mutual fund and is privately offered. Prospectuses are not required and prices are not available in local publications.
Wrap Fee The expense ratio is adjusted to reflect the additional wrap fee of 0.26%.
