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.
Processes and structure — The series’ board of trustees has delegated authority to the series’ investment adviser to make fair value determinations, subject to board oversight. The investment
adviser has established a Joint Fair Valuation Committee (the “Fair Valuation Committee”) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process, and to make fair value decisions. The Fair
Valuation Committee regularly reviews its own fair value decisions, as well as decisions made under its standing instructions to the investment adviser’s valuation teams. The Fair Valuation Committee reviews
changes in fair value measurements from period to period and may, as deemed appropriate, update the fair valuation guidelines to better reflect the results of back testing and address new or evolving issues. The Fair
Valuation Committee reports any 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. 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.
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. At July 31, 2022, all of the investment securities 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.
