3.       Jennison Associates LLC is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Parent”). Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Prudential Financial, Inc. of the United States is not affiliated in any manner with Prudential plc, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom, or with Prudential Assurance Company, a subsidiary of M&G plc, incorporated in the United Kingdom.

4.       The net of fee 1 year and Inception to date returns for the composite as of 12/31/2023:  3.20%, -11.39%, respectively. The 1 year and Inception to date returns for the benchmark as of 12/31/2023:  3.06%, -11.46%, respectively.

5.       The Passive Long Treasury/Agency Composite inception date was November 30, 2020 and the Composite creation date under the GIPS standards was December 2020. Accounts in the Passive Long Treasury/Agency Strategy (“Strategy”) are managed versus the Bloomberg Long Treasury Index or another similar long duration index that is comprised entirely of Treasury and Agency bonds. Accounts in this composite are passively managed using all investment grade sectors of the bond market. We do not make duration bets; as a result portfolio duration will be in close alignment to that of the benchmark. The investment objective is to provide better performance than the benchmark over a market cycle through yield curve management and the careful selection of individual securities. A list of Jennison’s composite and limited distribution pooled fund descriptions is available upon request. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS Reports are available upon request.

6.       Where allowed by client guidelines, the Strategy includes the regular use of Treasury futures for non-speculative, hedging purposes only. These derivative instruments are used to implement yield curve and duration management strategies. The risk characteristics of these instruments are similar to the underlying Treasury securities.

7.       Performance results are calculated in US dollars and reflect reinvestment of income and other earnings. Gross of fee performance is presented before custodial and Jennison’s actual advisory fees but after transaction costs. Net of fee performance is presented net of Jennison’s actual advisory fees and transaction costs. For a Passive Long Treasury/Agency separate account the fee schedule offered to institutional clients is as follows: 0.05% on all assets.  The minimum account size for a new separate account is generally $100 million. Actual advisory fees charged and actual account minimum size may vary by account due to various conditions described in Jennison Associates LLC’s Form ADV.

8.       The data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance results fluctuate, and there can be no assurances that objectives will be achieved. All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of capital.

9.       The Internal Dispersion (dispersion) is the standard deviation of individual gross account returns within a composite. It is a measure of how consistently a strategy has been applied across accounts within a composite. The dispersion is calculated when there are at least six accounts in the Composite for a full year and is based on the gross of fee annual returns of accounts in the Composite for the full year. For those periods where fewer than 6 accounts are in the Composite for a full year, or where the period is less than a full year, “N/A” is presented.

10.   The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite’s gross return the benchmark over the preceding 36-month period. This measure is not required to be presented for annual periods ended prior to 2011 or when 36 monthly composite returns are not yet available.  

11.   The benchmark for the composite is the Bloomberg US Long Treasury Bond Index.  The Bloomberg US Long Treasury Bond Index includes securities in the long maturity range of the Bloomberg US Treasury Bond Index. The Bloomberg US Treasury Bond Index includes public obligations of the US Treasury with a remaining maturity of one year or more. The index is the US Treasury component of the US Government Bond Index. Index returns are not covered by the report of the independent verifier. Prior to May 2022, the index for the strategy was a market weighted custom index calculated based on using the benchmarks of the accounts in the composite. The benchmark change was made to be more in line with industry standard reporting and was changed for all periods presented.  The financial indices referenced herein are provided for informational purposes only. When comparing the performance of a manager to its benchmark(s), please note that the manager's holdings and portfolio characteristics may differ from those of the benchmark(s). Additional factors impacting the performance displayed herein may include portfolio-rebalancing, the timing of cash flows, and differences in volatility, none of which impact the performance of the financial indices. Financial indices are unmanaged and assume reinvestment of income and other earnings but do not reflect the impact of fees, applicable taxes or trading costs which may also reduce the returns shown.
