(a)Investments are measured using the NAV practical expedient, and therefore, have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.
(b)Funds file U.S. Department of Labor Form 5500 as a direct filing entity. Therefore, disclosure of significant investment strategy is not required. There are no unfunded commitments or significant restrictions on redemptions.
