Disclosures Performance represents the total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index over a variety of time periods. The Standard & Poor’s 500 is an unmanaged, market capitalization-weighted index of 500 widely held stocks of large-cap U. S. companies and is commonly used as a gauge of the overall U. S. equity market. Index returns include dividend and/or interest income and do not reflect the removal of fees or expenses. Index performance is provided as a benchmark but is not illustrative of any particular investment. An investment cannot be made in an index and market indexes do not include expenses. The performance data shown represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so that investors' shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Sources: Ibbotson, FPS calculations
