(8) | When a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund as a buyer of credit protection will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation. |
(9) | Implied credit spread, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of the credit default swap agreements as of period end will serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Generally, wider credit spreads represent a perceived deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the swap agreement. |
(10) | The notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, for each security included in the CDX North America High Yield Index. |

(7) | When a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund as a buyer of credit protection will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation. |
(8) | Implied credit spread, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of the credit default swap agreements as of period end will serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Generally, wider credit spreads represent a perceived deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the swap agreement. |
(9) | The notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, for each security included in the CDX North America High Yield Index. |

Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited)
Restricted and Illiquid Securities
A restricted security cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (except pursuant to an applicable exemption). The values of these securities may be highly volatile. If the security is subsequently registered and resold, the issuer would typically bear the expense of all registrations at no cost to a Fund. Restricted and illiquid securities are valued according to the policies and procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees and are noted, if any, in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments. As of March 31, 2022, Guardian Core Plus Fixed Income VIP Fund held two illiquid securities, and Guardian Diversified Research VIP Fund, Guardian Global Utilities VIP Fund and Guardian International Equity VIP Fund each held one illiquid security.
Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 820 (“ASC Topic 820”), fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an “arm’s length” transaction to a willing buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. ASC Topic 820 established a hierarchy for classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 — unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. |
• | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs, including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs. |
• | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input; both individually and in aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Trust. The Trust considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of a financial instrument’s assigned level within the hierarchy.
The FASB requires reporting entities to make disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 securities on a gross basis. As of March 31, 2022, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 at the end of the reporting period. Transfers between Levels 1 and 2 related to certain exchange-traded foreign securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading on the exchange and, as a result, whose value were determined by a pricing service using pricing models in accordance with methods approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Transfers between Levels 2 and 3 relate to securities which have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all.
In determining a financial instrument’s placement within the hierarchy, the Trust separates the Funds’ investment portfolios into two categories: investments and derivatives (e.g., futures). A summary of inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of March 31, 2022 is included in the Schedule of Investments.
Investments Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and are therefore classified within Level 1, include active listed equities. Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. These include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, state, municipal and provincial obligations, and certain foreign equity securities, including securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading on their principal exchange or market and, as a result, whose values are determined by a pricing service as described above, or securities whose values are otherwise determined using fair valuation methods approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees.
Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 investments include, among others, private placement securities. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Trust uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the Trust in estimating the value of Level 3 investments include, for example, the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations, and other transactions across the capital structure. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Trust in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Trust due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Funds’ results of operations. As of March 31, 2022, Guardian International Equity VIP Fund held one security classified as Level 3.
Derivatives Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts, exchange-traded option contracts and certain swaps, are typically classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded. Certain non-exchange-traded derivatives, such as generic forwards, certain swaps and options, have inputs which can generally be corroborated by market data and are therefore classified within Level 2. During the period ended March 31, 2022, Guardian Core Plus Fixed Income VIP Fund, Guardian Multi-Sector Bond VIP Fund, Guardian Total Return Bond VIP Fund and Guardian U.S. Government Securities VIP Fund entered into U.S. Treasury futures contracts to manage portfolio duration. During the period ended March 31, 2022, Guardian Select Mid Cap Core VIP Fund entered into equity futures contracts to equitize cash and keep the Fund fully invested. During the period ended March 31, 2022, Guardian Multi-Sector Bond VIP Fund and Guardian Total Return Bond VIP Fund entered into credit default swaps for risk exposure management and to enhance potential return.
