Investment Strategy
The investment seeks to provide a total return that matches or incrementally exceeds the performance of the U.S. investment-grade bond market. Under normal conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds that are held in its benchmark index. Consistent with the benchmark index, the fund’s holdings will normally include U.S. government and agency obligations, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, and U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The index is a broadly diversified index that typically consists of investment-grade, fixed income instruments with intermediate- to long-term maturities.Investment Expenses, Sales Charges, and Fees

Impact of Expenses and Fees
The table below assumes the investor invests $10,000 on the first day of year one and that the original investment earns a continuous 5% return. In addition, it assumes the
investor reinvests all earnings, and makes no additional contributions. The 5% rate of return is hypothetical and used only to illustrate the respective impacts of different fee
amounts on each investment. It is not intended to predict future investment returns.
Calculations are done by the 403bCompare site in an effort to provide a standardized comparison of the impact of all fees associated with an investment option. This includes all
required 403(b) product-level fees, and investment-level fees. For more information on fees or expenses associated with a 403(b) product or investment option, please refer
