1 | ICE BofA 1-5 Year U.S. Inflation-Linked Treasury Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities with at least $1 billion in outstanding face value and a remaining term to final maturity of at least 1 year and less than 5 years. ICE® BofA® indices are not for redistribution or other uses; provided “as is”, without warranties, and with no liability.

Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
2 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
3 | Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 2/28/23. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower. |

The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio. |
