Why invest in this Fund?

The fund seeks to match the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index('S&P 500 Index').

To pursue this goal, the fund generally is fullyinvested in stocks included in the S&P 500 Index, and in futures whose performance is tied to the S&P 500 Index. The fund attempts to have a correlation between its performance and that of the index of at least .95, before expenses. A correlation of 1.00 would mean that the fund and the S&P 500 Index were perfectly correlated.

The fund generally invests in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 Index in proportion to their weighting in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted unmanaged index of 500 common stocks chosen to reflect the industries of the U.S.economy and is often considered a proxy for the stock market in general. The fund may also use stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of securities.

Morningstar Rating™ as of August 31, 2023 for the Initial Shares class shares; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Overall rating for the Large Blend category. Fund ratings are out of 5 Stars: Overall 4 Stars (1277 funds rated); 3 Yrs. 3 Stars (1277 funds rated); 5 Yrs. 4 Stars (1178 funds rated); 10 Yrs. 4 Stars (874 funds rated). The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products with at least a 3-year history. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance (not including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees if applicable), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Managed products; including open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds; are considered a single population for comparative purposes. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. © Morningstar, Inc.
