INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Wilmington Trust, N.A., Trustee for Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of funds sub-advised by Franklin Advisers, Inc. of Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust (the "Trust"), comprising the funds (the "Funds") included on the Fund Index on page 3, which comprise the statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, the financial highlights for the year then ended, or for the period then ended for inception dates in 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements. These financial statements and financial highlights are hereinafter collectively referred to as financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the year then ended, or for the period then ended for inception dates in 2020, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The supplementary information for the year ended December 31, 2020, or for the period then ended for inception dates in 2020, following the schedule of investments, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Tulsa, Oklahoma April 30, 2021

Note 1 – Organization Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust (the "Trust") is intended to constitute an exempt trust under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and a group trust within the meaning of Revenue Ruling 81-100, as clarified and amended. The Trust is exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Wilmington Trust, N.A. ("WTNA" or the "Trustee") serves as the Trustee of the Trust. The Trustee is responsible for maintaining and administering the Trust and its various funds (the "Funds" – see Fund Index) and also serves as the investment manager (the "Investment Manager") to the Funds. M&T Bank Corporation is the ultimate parent of the Trustee. State Street Bank and Trust Company provides custody, transfer agency, and accounting services for the Funds. The purpose of the Trust is to allow collective investments by plan sponsors of retirement plans which qualify for exemption from federal income taxation pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code, by reason of qualifying under Section 401(a) of the Code; tax-exempt governmental plans under Section 414(d) or Section 818(a)(6) of the Code; eligible deferred compensation plans under Section 457(b) of the Code established by a government employer; group trusts or separate accounts consisting solely of assets of the foregoing; and other investors eligible for participation in the Trust. The Trust consists of separate funds with differing investment objectives, which are available for investment by participating plans. An eligible plan may join the Trust, subject to the Trustee's acceptance, and become a participating plan by executing participation documents specified by the Trustee. Not all funds within the Trust are presented herein. The Trustee has claimed an exclusion from the definition of commodity pool operator ("CPO") under the Commodity Exchange Act and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") with respect to the Funds, and is therefore not subject to CFTC registration or regulation as a CPO with respect to the Funds. WTNA has engaged Franklin Advisers, Inc., Franklin Templeton Institutional, LLC and Franklin Mutual Advisors, LLC (the "Sub-Advisors") to provide investment advice in connection with the investment of the Funds' assets. While the Trustee generally relies on the Sub-Advisors to manage the Funds' assets, the Trustee maintains ultimate fiduciary authority over the management of and investments made in each Fund. The Sub-Advisors are engaged pursuant to sub-advisor agreements. Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 946. Net Asset Value ("NAV") – Units of each fee class of each Fund are valued each day on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading in accordance with the valuation procedures established by the Trustee. The NAV per unit is calculated as of the close of trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern time). The NAV

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2020

50

per unit is computed by dividing the total fair value of the assets of a Fund, less its liabilities, by the total number of units outstanding at the time of such computation. Investment income earned is reinvested in the Fund and included in the determination of unit values. Fund Unit Transactions – The Funds sell new units and repurchase outstanding units on a daily basis. Unit purchases and redemptions are transacted at the NAV per fee class of the Funds determined as of the close of business each day. A summary of the Fund unit activity for each Fund is included with its Financial Highlights. The Funds require the plan sponsors to provide advance written notice of five business days for plan sponsor directed withdrawals which will exceed $1 million of the assets invested in each Fund. Investment Valuation – Investments are valued at their current fair value determined as follows:

Investments in Collective Funds – The Funds may hold investments in units of other funds within the Trust or similar funds for which other unrelated entities are trustee. The Trustee or an unrelated trustee estimates the fair value of investments in collective funds that have calculated net asset value per unit in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies. Accordingly, as a practical expedient, investments in other such funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the investee funds. The Funds have the ability to redeem their investments in the collective funds at net asset value without restrictions. Where one fund invests in another fund within the Trust, the Trustee fee allocated to the investment by such investee fund is waived. Money Market Funds – Investments in money market funds are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective fund. Securities – Securities, other than bonds, listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available are valued at the closing price on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded on the day of valuation or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent bid quotation on the principal exchange. If a market price is not readily available or if such price is deemed unreliable, it will be valued at fair value in accordance with valuation procedures established by the Trustee. The Trustee's determination of fair value involves consideration of a number of subjective factors, and therefore, no single standard for determining fair value will apply. Corporate Bonds – The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using various techniques, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (when observable), and other industry recognized techniques. Although most corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances when lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or other similar observable inputs, they are categorized in level 3. Mortgage-Backed Securities and Other Asset-Backed Securities – The Funds may invest in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), representing interests in pools of mortgage loans. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid. Most of the securities are guaranteed by federally sponsored agencies, but are not issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury – Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). However, some securities may

Funds Sub-Advised by Franklin Advisers, Inc.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2020

51

be issued by private, non-government corporations. MBS issued by private entities are not government securities and are not directly guaranteed by any government agency but are secured by the underlying collateral of the private issuer. Yields on privately issued MBS tend to be higher than those of government-backed issues; however, risk of loss due to default and sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations is also higher. The Funds may also invest in asset-backed securities, representing interests in pools of certain types of underlying installment loans or leases or revolving lines of credit. They often include credit enhancements that help limit investors' exposure to the underlying credit. These securities are valued on the basis of the timing and certainty of the cash flows compared to investments with similar durations. Futures Contracts – The Funds may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes, which may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the securities. The Funds utilize futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Funds' returns. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is held. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized losses or gains are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures are found on the Statement of Operations as a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, the futures contract involves the risk that the Funds could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

When the valuation methods described above are not reflective of fair value, investments are valued at fair value following procedures and/or guidelines determined by or under the direction of the valuation committee established by the Trustee. In light of the judgment involved in fair value decisions, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular investment is accurate. Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Funds consider all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the acquisition date to be cash equivalents. Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated daily into U.S. dollars using foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Purchases and sales of Fund securities, commitments under forward foreign currency contracts and income receipts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate as of the date of each transaction. Realized and unrealized gain or loss on the translation of foreign currency denominated investments is included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the Statements of Operations. Realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions may include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency exchange contracts, gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign security transactions or the difference between the

52

amount of net investment income accrued on foreign securities and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions include gains and losses due to changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than Fund securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations. Investment Transactions and Investment Income – The Funds record security transactions on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains and losses on investments are determined by the first-in, first-out method. Interest income, if any, and expenses are recorded daily on the accrual basis. Fee Classes and Allocations – The Funds offer multiple fee classes. Not all fee classes are available for investment by all plans. Each class is allocated expenses on the basis of expense loads assigned to that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each fee class based on the units outstanding for the fee class in proportion to the total outstanding units. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Guarantees and Indemnifications – Under the Funds' organizational documents, each trustee, officer, employee and agent of the Trust is indemnified, to the extent permitted by law, against certain liabilities that may arise in the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, none of the Funds has had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and the Trustee believes the risk of loss to be remote. Income Tax Status – The Trust has received a determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the Trust is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required. Subsequent Events – The Trustee has evaluated the effect of subsequent events on the Funds' financial statements through April 30, 2021, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there are no material subsequent events, except as noted below, that would require disclosure or adjustment in the Funds' financial statements through this date. Effective February 22, 2021, the Trustee has engaged The Northern Trust Company as the Custodian of the Funds. The Northern Trust Company will also provide transfer agent, recordkeeping and accounting services.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Funds' investments. The Trustee has performed an analysis of the significance and character of these inputs to the fair value determination. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

• Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, and others).

• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Trustee's own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The aggregate fair value of the investments in each Fund, by input level used as of December 31, 2020, is included following each Fund's Schedule of Investments. In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The amortization period for the premium is shortened to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 does not require an accounting change for debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Funds have adopted ASU 2017-08, which did not have a material impact on the Funds' financial position or the results of its operations, and had no impact on the Funds' net assets. Note 4 – Derivative Transactions The following is a summary of the fair valuations of each Fund's derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2020, and the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020: Wilmington Trust Franklin U.S. Aggregate Bond CIT

When assets of a Fund are invested in other investment vehicles, such as other collective funds or exchange-traded funds, those investment vehicles will incur fees and expenses, which will be reflected in the operating results and value of the Fund's investment in such investment vehicle, and are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses of each Fund described above. Note 6 – Related Party Transactions The Trustee is a national bank that provides trust and custodial services for tax-advantaged retirement plans as well as trust and investment services to business pension and retirement plans. The Trustee is responsible for managing the Trust's investment and business affairs. Note 7 – Risks Associated with Investing in the Funds In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the fair value of the investments. The principal risks associated with investing in each Fund are:

• Active Management. The Fund is actively managed and subject to the risk that the sub-advisors' usage of investment techniques and risk analyses to make investment decisions fails to perform as expected, which may cause the Fund to lose value or underperform investments with similar objectives and strategies or the market in general.

• Capitalization Exposure. Concentrating assets in stocks of one or more capitalizations (small, mid, or large)

may be subject to both the specific risks of those capitalizations as well as increased volatility because stocks of specific capitalizations tend to go through cycles of beating or lagging the market as a whole.

• Cash Drag. The Fund may fail to meet its investment objective because of positions in cash and

equivalents.

• Country or Region. Investments in securities from a particular country or region may be subject to the risk of adverse social, political, regulatory, or economic events occurring in that country or region. Country or region-specific risks also include the risk that adverse securities markets or exchange rates may impact the value of securities from those areas.

• Credit and Counterparty. The issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract, or other borrower may not be able to make timely principal, interest, or settlement payments on an obligation. In this event, the issuer of a fixed income security may have its credit rating downgraded or defaulted, which may reduce the potential for income and value of the Fund.

• Currency. Investments in securities traded in foreign currencies or more directly in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that the foreign currency will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, which may reduce the value of the Fund. Investments in currency hedging positions are subject to the risk that the value of the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged, which may result in a loss of money on the

Page 60: WILMINGTON TRUST COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT TRUST FUNDS …

Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust

Funds Sub-Advised by Franklin Advisers, Inc.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2020

57

investment as well as the position designed to act as a hedge. Cross-currency hedging strategies and active currency positions may increase currency risk because actual currency exposure may be substantially different from that suggested by the Fund's holdings.

• Derivatives. Investments in derivatives may be subject to the risk that the sub-advisors does not correctly predict the movement of the underlying security, interest rate, market index, or other financial asset, or that the value of the derivative does not correlate perfectly with either the overall market or the underlying asset from which the derivative's value is derived. Because derivatives usually involve a small investment relative to the magnitude of liquidity and other risks assumed, the resulting gain or loss from the transaction will be disproportionately magnified. These investments may result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not perform as promised.

• Equity Securities. The value of equity securities, which include common, preferred, and convertible preferred stocks, will fluctuate based on changes in their issuers' financial conditions, as well as overall market and economic conditions, and can decline in the event of deteriorating issuer, market, or economic conditions.

• Fixed Income Securities. The value of fixed income or debt securities may be susceptible to general movements in the bond market and are subject to interest rate and credit risk.

• Foreign Securities. Investments in foreign securities may be subject to increased volatility as the value of

these securities can change more rapidly and extremely than the value of U.S. securities. Factors that increase the risk of investing in foreign securities include but are not limited to the following: less public information about issuers of non-U.S. securities; less governmental regulation and supervision over the issuance and trading of securities, the unavailability of financial information regarding the non-U.S. issuer or the difficulty of interpreting financial information prepared under non-U.S. accounting standards, less liquidity, the imposition of withholding and other taxes, and adverse political, social or diplomatic developments. In addition, foreign securities are subject to increased costs because there are generally higher commission rates on transactions, transfer taxes, higher custodial costs, and the potential for foreign tax charges on dividend and interest payments. Many foreign markets are relatively small, and securities issued in less-developed countries face the risks of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, including suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country. Economic, political, social, or diplomatic developments can also negatively impact performance.

• Forwards. Investments in forwards may increase volatility and be subject to additional market, active

management, currency, and counterparty risks as well as liquidity risk if the contract cannot be closed when desired. Forwards purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be subject to risk of loss if they decline in value prior to delivery, or if the counterparty defaults on its obligation.

• Futures. Investments in futures contracts and options on futures contracts may increase volatility and be subject to additional market, active management, interest, currency, and other risks if the contract cannot be closed when desired.

• Growth Investing. Growth securities may be subject to increased volatility as the value of these securities is highly sensitive to market fluctuations and future earnings expectations. These securities typically trade at higher multiples of current earnings than do other securities and may lose value if it appears their earnings expectations may not be met.

• High-Yield Securities. Investments in below investment-grade debt securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality, commonly known as "junk bonds" or "high-yield securities," may be subject to increased interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks.

• Income. The investment's income payments may decline depending on fluctuations in interest rates and the dividend payments of its underlying securities. In this event, some investments may attempt to pay the same dividend amount by returning capital.

• Industry and Sector Investing. Concentrating assets in a particular industry, sector of the economy, or

markets may increase volatility because the investment will be more susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory, and other factors affecting that industry or sector compared with a more broadly diversified asset allocation.

• Inflation/Deflation. A change of asset value may occur because of inflation or deflation, causing the Fund to underperform. Inflation may cause the present value of future payments to decrease, causing a decline in the future value of assets or income. Deflation causes prices to decline throughout the economy over time, impacting issuers' creditworthiness and increasing their risk for default, which may reduce the value of the Fund.

• Interest Rate. Securities are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will reduce their market value.

• Investment-Grade Securities. Investments in investment-grade debt securities that are not rated in the highest rating categories may lack the capacity to pay principal and interest compared with higher-rated securities and may be subject to increased credit risk.

• Issuer. A stake in any individual security is subject to the risk that the issuer of that security performs poorly, resulting in a decline in the security's value. Issuer-related declines may be caused by poor management decisions, competitive pressures, technological breakthroughs, reliance on suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, or other factors. Additionally, certain issuers may be more sensitive to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

• Large Cap. Concentrating assets in large-capitalization stocks may subject the Fund to the risk that those

stocks underperform other capitalizations or the market as a whole. Large-cap companies may be unable to respond as quickly as small- and mid-cap companies can to new competitive pressures and may lack the growth potential of those securities. Historically, large-cap companies do not recover as quickly as smaller companies do from market declines.

• Long-Term Outlook and Projections. The investment is intended to be held for a substantial period of time,

and investors should tolerate fluctuations in their investment's value.

• Loss of Money. An investment's market value may fluctuate up and down, an investor may lose money, including part of the principal, when he or she buys or sells the investment.

• Management. Performance is subject to the risk that the sub-advisors' asset allocation and investment

strategies do not perform as expected, which may cause the Fund to underperform its benchmark, other investments with similar objectives, or the market in general. The investment is subject to the risk of loss of income and capital invested, and the sub-advisors do not guarantee its value, performance, or any particular rate of return.

• Market/Market Volatility. The market value of the Fund's securities may fall rapidly or unpredictably because of changing economic, political, or market conditions, which may reduce the value of the Fund.

• Maturity/Duration. Securities with longer maturities or durations typically have higher yields but may be subject to increased interest rate risk and price volatility compared with securities with shorter maturities, which have lower yields but greater price stability.

• Mid-Cap. Concentrating assets in mid-capitalization stocks may subject the Fund to the risk that those

stocks underperform other capitalizations or the market as a whole. Mid-cap companies may be subject to increased liquidity risk compared with large-cap companies and may experience greater price volatility than do those securities because of more limited product lines or financial resources, among other factors.

• Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities. Investments in mortgage-backed ("MBS") and asset-backed securities ("ABS") may be subject to increased price volatility because of changes in interest rates, issuer information availability, credit quality of the underlying assets, market perception of the issuer, availability of credit enhancement, and prepayment of principal. The value of MBS and ABS may be adversely affected if the underlying borrower fails to pay the loan included in the security.

• Municipal Project-Specific. Investments in municipal bonds that finance similar types of projects, including those related to education, health care, housing, transportation, utilities, and industry, may be subject to a greater extent than general obligation municipal bonds to the risks of adverse economic, business, or political developments.

• Non-diversification. A non-diversified fund may have an increased potential for loss because it includes a relatively small number of investments. Movements in the prices of the individual investments may have a magnified effect on a non-diversified portfolio. Any sale of the Fund's large positions could adversely affect stock prices if those positions represent a significant part of a company's outstanding stock.

• Options. Investments in options may be subject to the risk that the sub-advisors do not correctly predict the movement of an option's underlying stock. Option purchases may result in the loss of part or all of the amount paid for the option plus commission costs. Option sales may result in a forced sale or purchase of a security at a price higher or lower than its current market price.

• Prepayment (Call). The issuer of a debt security may be able to repay principal prior to the security's maturity because of an improvement in its credit quality or falling interest rates. In this event, this principal

may have to be reinvested in securities with lower interest rates than the original securities, reducing the potential for income.

• Real Estate/REIT Sector. Concentrating assets in the real estate sector or Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") may disproportionately subject the Fund to the risks of that industry, including loss of value because of changes in real estate values, interest rates, and taxes, as well as changes in zoning, building, environmental, and other laws, among other factors. Investments in REITs may be subject to increased price volatility and liquidity risk, and investors indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses because of their management fees.

• Reinvestment. Payments from debt securities may have to be reinvested in securities with lower interest rates than the original securities.

• Restricted/Illiquid Securities. Restricted and illiquid securities may fall in price because of an inability to sell the securities when desired. Investing in restricted securities may subject the Fund to higher costs and liquidity risk.

• Small Cap. Concentrating assets in small-capitalization stocks may subject the Fund to the risk that those

stocks underperform other capitalizations or the market as a whole. Smaller, less-seasoned companies may be subject to increased liquidity risk compared with mid- and large-cap companies.

• Sovereign Debt. Investments in debt securities issued or guaranteed by governments or governmental entities are subject to the risk that an entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or principal on its sovereign debt because of cash flow problems, insufficient foreign reserves, or political or other considerations. In this event, there may be no legal process for collecting sovereign debts that a governmental entity has not repaid.

• Swaps. Investments in swaps, such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps and total return swaps, may increase volatility and be subject to increased liquidity, credit, and counterparty risks. Depending on their structure, swaps may increase or decrease the Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, corporate borrowing rates, security prices, index values, inflation rates, credit, or other factors.

• U.S. Government Obligations. Investments in U.S. government obligations are subject to varying levels of government support. In the event of default, some U.S. government securities, including U.S. Treasury obligations and Ginnie Mae securities, are issued and guaranteed as to principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Other securities are obligations of U.S. government-sponsored entities but are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. government. U.S. State or Territory-Specific Investments in the municipal securities of a particular state or territory may be subject to the risk that changes in the economic conditions of that state or territory will negatively impact performance.

• Value Investing. Value securities may be subject to the risk that these securities cannot overcome the adverse factors the sub-advisors believe are responsible for their low price or that the market may not

recognize their fundamental value as the sub-advisor predicted. Value securities are not expected to experience significant earnings growth and may underperform growth stocks in certain markets.
