(a) Security has a variable rate. Interest rates reset periodically. Rate stated was in effect as of September 30, 2024. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are presented. Certain variable rate securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread because they are determined by the issuer, remarketing agent, or offering documents and are based on current market conditions. The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. 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. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

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. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

Securities Lending and Securities Lending Collateral. All Funds are approved to participate in agency based securities lending with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). Per the securities lending agreements, State Street is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved borrowers and is required to maintain collateral. Each 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: US equities – 102%; US corporate fixed income – 102%; US Government fixed income – 102%; international equities – 105%; international corporate fixed income – 105%; sovereign fixed income – 102%; and asset backed investments – 102%. Collateral requirements are evaluated at the close of each business day; any additional collateral required 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. State Street has agreed to indemnify the Funds in the event of default by a third-party borrower. A 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, which is shared with the borrower through negotiated rebates. The Funds bear the market risk with respect to the collateral investment and securities loaned. The Funds also bear the risk that State Street may default on its obligations to the Funds. Non-cash collateral may include US Government securities; US Government agencies’ debt securities; and US Government-sponsored agencies’ debt securities and mortgage-backed securities. Certain Funds receive non-cash collateral in the form of securities received, which the Funds may not sell or re-pledge. For non-cash collateral, the Funds receive lending fees negotiated with the borrower. State Street has agreed to indemnify the Funds with respect to the market risk related to the non-cash collateral investments.
The cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market fund and a series of State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust, which is an open-end management company registered under the 1940 Act. The Funds also bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of collateral available for return to a borrower due to a decline in value of the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio.
Each Fund’s net exposure to a borrower is determined by the amount of any excess or shortfall in cash collateral received compared to the value of securities on loan.
Security Valuation. Under the Trust's valuation policy, procedures and guidelines (“Valuation Policies and Procedures”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”), on behalf of each Fund, has designated to Jackson National Asset Management LLC (“JNAM” or the “the Administrator”) the responsibility for carrying out certain functions relating to the valuation of portfolio securities for the purpose of determining the net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund. Further, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Valuation Designee. As the Valuation Designee, the Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) and adopted the Valuation Policies and Procedures pursuant to which the Adviser determines the “fair value” of a security for which market quotations are not readily available, or are determined to be not reflective of market value.
The 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). The NAV of a Fund’s shares may also not be determined on days designated by the Board or on days designated by the SEC. Consistent with legal requirements, calculation of a Fund’s NAV may be suspended on days determined by the Board during times of NYSE market closure, which may include times during which the SEC issues policies or protocols associated with such closure pursuant to Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act. In the event that the NYSE is closed unexpectedly or opens for trading but closes earlier than scheduled, the Funds’ Valuation Committee will evaluate if trading activity on other US exchanges and markets for equity securities is considered reflective of normal market activity. To the extent a NYSE closure is determined to be accompanied by a disruption of normal market activity, the Valuation Committee may utilize the time the NYSE closed for purposes of measuring and calculating the Funds’ NAVs. To the extent a NYSE closure is determined to not have resulted in a disruption of normal market activity, the Valuation Committee may utilize the time the NYSE was scheduled to close for purposes of measuring and calculating the Funds’ NAVs.
The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets of a Fund, deducting its liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Equity securities are generally valued at the official closing price of the exchange where the security is principally traded. If there is no official closing price for the security on the valuation date, the security may be valued at the most recent sale or quoted bid price prior to close. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV per share determined as of the close of the NYSE on each valuation date. The Administrator typically uses independent pricing services to value debt securities. Term loans are generally valued at the composite bid prices provided by approved pricing services. 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. Exchange-traded options are valued by approved pricing sources at the last traded price prior to the close of business on the local exchange. In the event that current day trades are unavailable, or the trade price falls outside of the current bid ask spread, exchange traded options are valued at the current day’s mid-price. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued at the foreign currency exchange rate as of the close of the NYSE, unless an unexpected disruption on the NYSE and the Funds’ Valuation Policies and Procedures require the Administrator to determine the “fair value” of the contracts. Pricing services utilized to value debt instruments 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. To the extent circumstances prevent the use of the primary calculation methodology previously described, the Adviser may use alternative methods to calculate the NAV.
The Funds may invest in foreign securities and other assets that are priced in a currency other than US dollars. For foreign securities and other assets that are priced in a currency other than US dollars, a Fund will convert the security or asset from the local currency into US dollars using the relevant current exchange rate. Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days when the Funds do not price their shares and, therefore, the value of portfolio securities of a Fund may change on days when shareholders will be unable to purchase or redeem the Fund's shares.

A Fund calculates its NAV per share, and effects sales, redemptions and repurchases of its shares at that NAV per share, as of the close of the NYSE once on each Business Day. Because the calculation of a Fund’s NAV does not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the closing prices of the majority of the foreign equity portfolio securities used in such calculation, the Valuation Policies and Procedures authorize the Adviser, to determine the “fair value” of such foreign equity securities for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV. When fair valuing such foreign equity securities, the Adviser adjusts the closing prices of foreign equity portfolio securities based upon pricing models provided by a third party vendor in order to reflect the “fair value” of such securities for purposes of determining a Fund’s NAV. Foreign equity securities traded in North America and South America may be fair valued utilizing international adjustment factors in response to local market holidays, exchange closures, or other events as deemed necessary, in order to reflect the “fair value” of such securities for purposes of determining a Fund’s NAV.
FASB ASC Topic 820 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 this 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 national or foreign stock exchanges, futures listed on derivatives exchanges 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, including certain term loans, OTC derivatives, centrally cleared swap agreements, broker quotes in active markets, securities subject to corporate actions, securities valued at amortized cost, swap agreements valued by pricing services, American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts for which quoted prices in active markets are not available or securities limited by foreign ownership.
Level 3 includes valuations determined from significant unobservable inputs including the Administrator'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; term loans that do not meet certain liquidity thresholds; securities where prices may be unavailable due to halted trading, restricted to resale due to market events, or newly issued; private placements; or investments for which reliable quotes are otherwise not available.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table summarizes each Fund’s investments in securities and other financial instruments as of September 30, 2024, by valuation level.

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. There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3 for the period. There were no significant Level 3 valuations for which unobservable valuation inputs were developed at September 30, 2024.
