(a)
These categories include passively managed U.S. large-cap mutual funds and actively managed U.S. small/mid-cap and international mutual funds that track various indices such as the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 2500 Index and the MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S. Index.
(b)
This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in equity securities of emerging market issuers.  Emerging market countries are those countries that are characterized as developing or emerging by any of the World Bank, the United Nations, the International Finance Corporation, or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development or included in an emerging markets index by a recognized index provider.
(c)
This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that seeks to generate total return over time by selecting investments from among a broad range of asset classes.  The fund’s allocations among asset classes may be adjusted over short periods and can vary from multiple to a single asset class.
(d)
This category represents actively managed mutual funds that seek to duplicate the risk and return characteristics of a long-term fixed-income security portfolio with approximate duration of 10 years and longer by using a long duration bond portfolio.  This category also includes Treasury future contracts and zero-coupon securities created by the U.S. Treasury.
(e)
This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, including corporate bonds and debentures, convertible and preferred securities and zero-coupon obligations. The fund’s average weighted maturity may vary and will generally not exceed ten years.
(f)
This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities of government, government-related and corporate issuers in emerging market countries, as well as entities organized to restructure the outstanding debt of such issuers.
(g)
This category represents an actively managed hedge fund of funds.  The fund holds approximately 30 separate hedge-fund investments.  Strategies included (1) long-short equity, (2) event-driven and distressed-debt, (3) global macro, (4) credit hedging, (5) multi-strategy, and (6) fixed-income arbitrage.  Its investment objective is to seek to achieve an attractive risk-adjusted return with moderate volatility and moderate directional market exposure over a full market cycle.
(h)
This category represents an actively managed real estate fund of funds that seeks both current income and long-term capital appreciation through investing in underlying funds that acquire, manage, and dispose of commercial real estate properties.  These properties are high-quality, low-leveraged, income-generating office, industrial, retail, and multi-family properties, generally fully-leased to creditworthy companies and governmental entities.
(i)
This category invests primarily in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of collateralized loan obligations and other structured credit investments backed primarily by bank loans.
(j)
This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in fixed income and equity securities and commodity linked instruments. The category seeks total returns that exceed the rate of inflation over a full market cycle regardless of market conditions.
(k)
This category will offer exposure to a diversified pool of global private assets fund investments.  Further, the category will seek to shorten the duration of the typical private assets fund of funds through a dedicated focus on secondary strategies (i.e. funds whose investment strategy is to purchase interests in other private market investments/funds as a way to provide the original investors liquidity prior to the end of those investments’/funds’ contracted end date), income-producing investment strategies (e.g. debt, real estate, and to a lesser extent, real assets), and underlying funds whose stated life is five to seven years, as opposed to the more typical 10-year life of private assets funds.
(l)
This category invests in credit securities of commodity oriented companies affected by the dislocation in the commodity markets with the investment objective of producing an equity like return with less downside risk than equity or commodity investments.  
(m)
In accordance with Subtopic 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets.
(n)
The U.S. managed volatility fund seeks capital appreciation with lower volatility than the broad U.S. equity market. The Fund will typically invest in equity securities of U.S. companies of all capitalization ranges that exhibit low relative volatility. Over the long term, the Fund is expected to achieve a return similar to that of the Russell 3000 Index with a lower level of volatility.
