Objective

The objective of the C Fund is to match the performance of the Standard and Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index, a broad market index made up of stocks of 500 large to medium-sized U.S. companies.

Strategy

The C Fund assets are held in a separate account and managed to fully replicate the Standard and Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index. The earnings consist primarily of dividend income and gains (or losses) in the price of stocks. The C Fund is a passively managed fund that remains invested according to its indexed investment strategy regardless of stock market movements or general economic conditions. Your investment in the C Fund is subject to market risk because the prices of the stocks in the S&P 500 Index rise and fall. By investing in the C Fund, you are also exposed to inflation risk, meaning your C Fund investment may not grow enough to offset inflation. While investment in the C Fund carries risk, it also offers the opportunity to experience gains from equity ownership of large and mid-sized U.S. company stocks.
