                                        **The Net Total Annual Operating Expenses include any investment expense waiver/reimbursement arrangements documented in the investment’s prospectus and may be lower than the Gross Total Annual
                                        Operating Expenses due to the indicated expense waivers or reimbursements, which may be subject to expiration. Additional information regarding investment expense waivers specific to each investment is
                                        included in this document, if available, including whether the waiver is contractual or voluntary and its date of expiration. All available information about investment expense waivers is current and complete as of
                                        the date of this report. If information regarding the waivers is incomplete, it is because our third-party data provider was unable to make the information available. For some investments, the Net Total Annual
                                        Operating Expense ratio figure reflects the subtraction of interest expense, which results from an investment’s use of certain other investments. This expense is required to be treated as an investment expense
                                        for accounting purposes, but is not payable to the investment adviser or subadvisor (if applicable). For more information, please see the investment profile or the prospectus that corresponds to the investment,

                                        CITs (Collective Investment Trusts)

                                        CITs are tax-exempt, pooled investment vehicles. They’re maintained by a bank or trust company exclusively for qualified retirement plans and certain types of government plans. With
                                        lower marketing,overhead and compliance-related costs than comparable mutual funds, they’re more economical for investors. Originally, plans used CITs mainly for stable-value and
                                        passive portfolios, but they’re now offered for a full range of investment mandates. Only separately managed accounts, which require much higher asset minimums for most managers,
                                        may be less expensive.

                                        With CITs, dedicated share classes for individual plans allow larger sponsors to benefit from flexible pricing, just as they do in a separately managed account. A dedicated share class
                                        provides customized pricing, which allows sponsors to benefit from economies of scale in advisory fees and from the lower operating costs that come with a larger investment pool. *

                                        Vanguard Target Series – Asset Allocation Investments in Motion
                                        The Vanguard Target Series are a way for participants to have a professionally managed portfolio designed for their retirement time horizon. Each option in this series follows its own
                                        asset allocation path (“glide path”) to progressively reduce its equity exposure and become more conservative over time, reaching its most conservative allocation 10 years after the year
                                        specified by the target date. Generally target date investment options are designed to be held beyond the presumed retirement date to offer a continuing investment option for the investor
                                        in retirement. The year in the investment option name refers to the approximate year an investor in the option would plan to retire (assuming a retirement age of 65) and likely would stop
                                        making new contributions to the investment option. However, an investor may choose a date other than their presumed retirement date to be more conservative or aggressive depending
                                        on their own risk tolerance.
