SymbolFund NameInvestment Objective and Strategy
N/AInvesco Stable Value FundThe primary objective of the Fund is to provide safety of principal and competitive, stable rates of return relative to other fixed income investments.
N/ASSgA US Bond Index Securities Lending Series Fund – Class XIVThe Fund seeks an investment return that approximates as closely as practicable, before expenses, the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) over the long term.
DODIXDodge & Cox Income Fund Class IThe investment seeks a high and stable rate of current income, consistent with long-term preservation of capital. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of bonds and other debt securities. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in (1) investment-grade debt securities and (2) cash equivalents. “Investment grade” means securities rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, or BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Fitch Ratings, or equivalently rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or, if unrated, deemed to be of similar quality by Dodge & Cox.
N/ASSgA U.S. Inflation Protected Bond Index Securities Lending Series Fund – Class IIThe Fund is managed using an “indexing” investment approach, by which SSGA attempts to approximate, before expenses, the performance of the Index over the long term. The Fund will not necessarily own all of the securities included in the Index. The Fund may attempt to invest in the securities comprising the Index, in the same proportions as they are represented in the Index, in limited cases where we believe it is practical to do so. However, due to the diverse composition of securities in the Index and the fact that many of the securities comprising the Index may be unavailable for purchase, it may not be possible for the Fund to purchase some of the securities comprising the Index. In such a case, SSGA will select securities for the Portfolio that SSGA expects will provide a return comparable to that of the Index. SSGA expects that it will typically seek to replicate Index returns for the Portfolio through investments in the “cash” bond markets – actual holdings of debt securities and other instruments – rather than through “notional” or “synthetic” positions achieved through the use of derivatives, such as futures contracts or swap transactions (except in the unusual case where SSGA believes that use of derivatives is necessary to achieve an exposure that is not readily available through the cash markets).
