Valuation disclosures
Security valuation — The net asset value of each share class of each fund is calculated based on the reported net asset values of the underlying funds in which each fund invests. The net asset value of each underlying fund is calculated based on the policies and procedures of the underlying fund contained in each underlying fund’s statement of additional information. The net asset value per share of each fund and each underlying fund is calculated once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4 p.m. New York time, each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. The State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund held by the managed risk funds is managed to maintain a $1.00 net asset value per share. Exchange-traded options and futures are generally valued at the official closing price for options and official settlement price for futures of the exchange or market on which such instruments are traded, as of the close of business on the day such instruments are being valued. The average month-end notional amount of option contracts while held by Managed Risk Growth Portfolio, Managed Risk Growth and Income Portfolio and Managed Risk Global Allocation Portfolio was $1,286,913,000, $1,025,476,000 and $251,034,000, respectively. The average month-end notional amount of futures contracts while held by Managed Risk Growth Portfolio, Managed Risk Growth and Income Portfolio and Managed Risk Global Allocation Portfolio was $164,493,000, $177,083,000 and $38,314,000, respectively.
Processes and structure — The series’ board of trustees has designated the series’ investment adviser to make fair value determinations, subject to board oversight. The investment adviser has established a Joint Fair Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process, and to make fair value decisions. The Committee regularly reviews its own fair value decisions, as well as decisions made under its standing instructions to the investment adviser’s valuation team. The Committee reviews changes in fair value measurements from period to period, pricing vendor information and market data, and may, as deemed appropriate, update the fair valuation guidelines to better reflect the results of back testing and address new or evolving issues. Pricing decisions, processes and controls over security valuation are also subject to additional internal reviews facilitated by the investment adviser’s global risk management group. The Committee reports changes to the fair valuation guidelines to the board of trustees. The series’ board and audit committee also regularly review reports that describe fair value determinations and methods.
Classifications — The series’ investment adviser classifies each fund’s assets and liabilities into three levels based on the method used to value the assets or liabilities. Level 1 values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar securities and quoted prices in inactive markets. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the investment adviser’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the securities. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment.
As of September 30, 2024, all of the investments held by each fund were classified as Level 1.
Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.
Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.
