MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s NAV return was 17.33% (for an explanation of NAV return, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The S&P 500® Index, which serves as the fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance, returned 20.38%. The fund generally invests in securities that are included in the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index which returned 17.36% during the same period. The fund does not seek to track the regulatory index. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
Top detractors from total return:
■ Financials sector securities, including S&P Global, Inc.
■ Utilities sector securities
Top contributors to total return:
■ Information technology sector securities, including Apple, Inc.
■ Health care sector securities

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s NAV return was 29.45% (for an explanation of NAV return, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s NAV return was 3.03% (for an explanation of NAV return, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which serves as the fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance, returned 1.89%. The fund generally invests in securities that are included in the Bloomberg US MBS Float Adjusted Total Return Index which returned 3.12%. The fund does not seek to track the regulatory index. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the Bloomberg US MBS Float Adjusted Total Return Index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
■ Negative price returns detracted from the total return of the fund, albeit to a smaller degree than coupon income generated by the fund’s holdings and, to a more limited extent, paydown (return of principal from the underlying mortgages to the mortgage-backed securities investors) contributed to the total return of the fund
■ The fund held positions in TBAs, or “to-be-announced” securities, which are mortgage-backed bonds that settle on a forward date. The fund’s average month-end position in these securities was 0.3%, with a minimum exposure of 0.0% and maximum exposure of 0.4% over the period.
