In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflect the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation.

The Fund participating in securities lending receives cash collateral daily, which is invested by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) in the JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund, which is an affiliate of the Fund’s Adviser. JNAM serves as the Adviser and Administrator for the JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund. The Fund receives income from the investment in the JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund, which is aggregated with lending fees and rebates negotiated with the borrower. There was no realized or unrealized gain or loss relating to transactions in the JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund during the period ended September 30, 2019.
Securities Lending and Securities Lending Collateral. JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. State Street ("Custodian") serves as custodian and securities lending agent to the Fund. Per the securities lending agreement, the securities lending agent is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Fund to approved borrowers and is required to maintain collateral. The Fund receives either cash or non-cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Generally, cash and non-cash collateral received for the following types of securities on loan are as follows: U.S. government fixed income – 102%; U.S. equity – 102%; U.S. corporate fixed income – 102%; international equities – 105%; international corporate fixed income – 105%; sovereign fixed income – 102%; and asset backed investments – 102%. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan as determined at the close of Fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is typically delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The duration of each loan is determined by the agent and borrower and generally may be terminated at any time. Certain loans may be negotiated to mature on a specified date. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower. The Fund may experience a delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss if the borrower breaches its agreement with the Fund or becomes insolvent. For cash collateral, the Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates negotiated with the borrower. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment and securities loaned. The Fund also bears the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. Non-cash collateral which the Fund receives may include U.S. government securities; U.S. government agencies’ debt securities; and U.S. government-sponsored agencies’ debt securities and mortgage-backed securities. For non-cash collateral, the Fund receives lending fees negotiated with the borrower. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund with respect to the market risk related to the non-cash collateral investments. Distributions from the JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund are aggregated with other income, fees and rebates generated by the securities lending program. Each Fund also bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of collateral available for return to a borrower due to a decline in value of an approved investment. The securities lending agent receives a portion of these earnings from the Fund's securities lending program.
Cash collateral is invested in the JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund, a registered government money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"). JNAM serves as the Adviser and Administrator for the JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund. The JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund is only offered to JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and other JNAM affiliated funds. The JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund pays JNAM for investment advisory services.
Security Valuation. Under the JNL Investors Series Trust (“Trust”) valuation policy and procedures, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) has delegated the daily operational oversight of the securities valuation function to the JNAM Valuation Committee (“Valuation Committee”), which consists of certain officers of the Trust and JNAM management. The Valuation Committee is responsible for determining fair valuations for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. For those securities fair valued under procedures adopted by the Board, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the fair valuation determinations after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. For fair valuation determinations that are deemed material, the Board is promptly notified, in detail, of the fair valuation.
The net asset value (“NAV”) of a Fund’s shares is generally determined once each day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, at the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday). Debt securities are generally valued by independent pricing services approved by the Board. Pricing services utilized to value debt securities may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as: yield; credit quality; coupon rate; maturity; type of issue; trading characteristics; call features; credit ratings; broker quotes; and other relevant data. If pricing services are unable to provide valuations, debt securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation for a long position and ask quotation for a short position or an evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from each Fund’s Sub-Adviser, a broker/dealer, a widely used quotation system or other approved third party sources. All securities in the JNL Government Money Market Fund and JNL Securities Lending Collateral Fund, as permitted by compliance with applicable provisions of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, as amended, and other short-term securities maturing within sixty (60) days are valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that such practice does not approximate market value. Futures contracts traded on an

exchange are generally valued at the exchange's settlement price. If the settlement price is not available, exchange traded futures are valued at the last sales price as of the close of business on the primary exchange. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV per share determined as of the close of the NYSE on each valuation date.
Market quotations may not be readily available for certain investments or it may be determined that a quotation of an investment does not represent fair value. In such instances, the investment is valued as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Situations that may require an investment to be fair valued may include instances where a security is thinly traded, halted or restricted as to resale. In addition, investments may be fair valued based on the occurrence of a significant event. Significant events may be specific to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults. Alternatively, significant events may affect an entire market, such as natural disasters, government actions, and significant changes in the value of U.S. securities markets. Securities are fair valued based on observable and unobservable inputs, including the Adviser’s or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of an investment. Under the procedures approved by the Board, the Adviser may utilize pricing services or other sources, including each Fund’s Sub-Adviser, to assist in determining the fair value of an investment. Factors considered to determine fair value may include fundamental analytical data relating to the security; the nature and duration of restrictions, if any, on the disposition of the security; trading volume on markets, exchanges, or among dealers; evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the security is traded; the type of security; the financial statements of the issuer, or other financial information about the issuer; the cost of the security at its date of purchase; the size of the Fund’s holding; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class, if applicable, at the time of purchase or at a later date; reports prepared by analysts; information as to any transactions in or offers for the security; the existence of any merger proposal, tender offer or other extraordinary event relating to the security; the price and extent of public or dealer trading in similar securities or derivatives of the issuer or of comparable companies; trading in depositary receipts; foreign currency exchange activity; changes in the interest rate environment; trading prices of financial products that are tied to baskets of foreign securities; and any other matters considered relevant.
If an investment is valued at a fair value for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV, the value may be different from the last quoted price for the investment depending on the source and method used to determine the value. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), “Fair Value Measurement”. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Fund’s investments under FASB ASC Topic 820 guidance. The inputs are summarized into three broad categories:
Level 1 includes valuations based on quoted prices of identical securities in active markets, including valuations for securities listed on a national or foreign stock exchange or investments in mutual funds.
Level 2 includes valuations determined from significant direct or indirect observable inputs. Direct observable inputs include broker quotes, third party prices, closing prices of similar securities in active markets, closing prices for identical or similar securities in non-active markets or corporate action or reorganization entitlement values. Indirect significant observable inputs include factors such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds or credit ratings. Level 2 includes valuations for fixed income securities, broker quotes in active markets, securities subject to corporate actions or securities valued at amortized cost.
Level 3 includes valuations determined from significant unobservable inputs including the Adviser's own assumptions in determining the fair value of the investment. Inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities include security specific inputs such as: credit quality, credit rating spreads, issuer news, trading characteristics, call features, maturity or anticipated cash flows; or industry specific inputs such as: trading activity of similar markets or securities, changes in the security’s underlying index or changes in comparable securities’ models. Level 3 valuations include securities that are priced based on single source broker quotes; securities where prices may be unavailable due to halted trading, restricted to resale due to market events, or newly issued; or investments for which reliable quotes are otherwise not available.
To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuation, the Adviser regularly compares current day prices with prior day prices, transaction prices and alternative vendor prices. When the comparison results exceed pre-defined thresholds, the Adviser challenges the prices exceeding tolerance levels with the pricing service or broker. To verify Level 3 unobservable inputs, the Adviser uses a variety of techniques as appropriate to substantiate these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis and review of related market activity.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Significant changes in unobservable valuation inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement than the one used in a security’s valuation. The Funds recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the period for financial reporting purposes. There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3 for the period. There were no Level 3 valuations for which unobservable valuation inputs were developed at September 30, 2019.
