**Effective June 1, 2022, credit quality calculations are sourced to Aegon AM and reflect a proprietary methodology. Credit quality calculations prior to June 1, 2022, may be different. Credit ratings for the portfolio reflect the Bloomberg Indices credit quality methodology which is the middle rating of the three agencies, if only rated by two agencies it uses the lower rating and if only rated by one entity it uses that rating. Ratings are calculated by applying the methodology to available ratings from rating agencies. If the rating is NR on a structured security, the methodology will look to both DBRS and Kroll and use the lower rating; if rated by one, use that rating; else it will remain NR. Average Quality excludes cash and securities that are not rated. The credit quality of a security or group of securities does not ensure the stability or safety of the overall portfolio. NR includes securities that are not rated by S&P®, Moody’s®, or Fitch and may contain bonds, equities and/or bank loans.

Important Disclosures

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The net of fees performance is time weighted and includes the reinvestment of dividends, interest, and other earnings, and is calculated net of model fees and expenses. The gross of fees performance figures do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees (as described in the firm's ADV, Part 2), and other expenses. Cash is included in the calculation of performance. The client's return will be reduced by the management fees and any other expenses it may incur in the management of its investment advisory account. The volatility of the performance shown may be materially different from the individual performance attained by any specific investor. In addition, client holdings may differ significantly from the securities that comprise the index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index, which also does not take into account trading commissions and costs. In addition, the actual investment advisory fees incurred by the client will vary according to the asset classes in the account and the size of the account.  An individual client's actual returns may differ from the results shown for reasons such as the timing of investments and withdrawals. 

 

The US dollar is the currency used to express performance.
