BlackRock is a global leader in fixed income indexing

There are four key reasons to pick BlackRock over any other index provider:

• Low historical tracking error across fixed income index strategies

• An experienced, stable team

• Potential for Low transaction costs from size and scale

• Transparent pricing and no cross subsidization as BlackRock has no custody business

1 Source: Pension & Investments. All dollar values are in $ billions.; data as of 30 June 2018. Managers included based on largest global fixed income index market AUM per Pension & Investments.

2 Source: eVestment; data as of 31 March 2019. Periods less than a year are not annualized. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Managers on the right are different from those with the largest Index AUM due to product availability or missing data. The Category Average includes all passive index funds available on eVestment managed against the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index. Category Average depicts tracking difference, defined as risk in excess of the benchmark, vs. the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index. The Fund’s net asset value does not include an accrual for the investment management fee but does include an accrual for fund level administrative costs and, if applicable, certain third party acquired fund fees and expenses. If the Fund’s net asset value did include an accrual for the investment management fee, the Fund’s returns would be lower. Past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future performance. All periods contain 5 managers in the universe except the 10-Year period, which contains 4. BlackRock is included in the universe. Please see slide 30 for the Fund's full performance track record.

Quantitative process balances tracking error & transaction costs• Unlike most stocks, bonds trade “Over the Counter”

• Prohibitive costs, uncertain liquidity, and issue scarcity often makes perfect replication infeasible

• Index process optimizes marginal contribution to tracking error with T-Costs

Seeking to deliver execution for our clients

In 2016, clients experienced an average transaction cost of 8 bps to subscribe to invest in the BlackRock US Aggregate Index Funds compared to the costs of buying every underlying security within the BBG Barclays Index. • The BBG Barclays Liquidity Cost Score* (“LCS”) estimates the transaction cost required to purchase every underlying

security at their benchmark weights.

• BlackRock has also created its own LCS based on a proprietary liquidity model** as shown below

Source: BlackRock, BBG, Barclays. Data as of 31 December 2016. For illustrative purposes only. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. *As described in Barclays Liquidity Cost Scores Factsheet, which is available upon request, BBG Barclays LCS is computed using bid-ask spread indications provided by Barclays Capital traders. It represents the transaction cost estimated to execute an instantaneous round trip institutional trade. **BlackRock receives bid-ask indications from 10 broker dealers to determine average trading costs for fixed income assets within the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate. *** BlackRock Realized T-Costs ex Crossing is the weighted average transaction costs of all subscriptions to the funds managed by BlackRock against the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index for the trailing 12-months ending 12/31/2016. *** BlackRock Realized T-Costs is the weighted average transaction costs of all subscriptions to the funds managed by BlackRock against the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index for the trailing 12-months ending 12/31/2016 and included subscriptions netted by crossing activities.

The U.S. TIPS Index Composite measures the total return of all fee-paying , discretionary, fixed income portfoliosthat seek to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index with minimal tracking error. Theuse of derivatives is a characteristic of this investment strategy and may be used from time to time to obtainexposure, to provide liquidity for cash flows, to hedge accruals or for other purposes that facilitate meeting thecomposite’s objective. The composite was created on April 30, 2014. Composite performance started on May 1,2014. The performance of the composite is expressed in U.S. Dollars. A complete list of composites with theirdescriptions as well as Policies and Procedures for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparingcompliant presentations are available upon request.

Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) is a registered investment advisor and subsidiary of The Bank of NewYork Mellon Corporation ("BNY Mellon"). The firm also includes assets managed by Mellon personnel acting asdual officers of affiliated companies. Prior to changing its legal name on January 2, 2019, the firm was defined asBNY Mellon Asset Management North America Corporation (“BNY Mellon AMNA”) a registered investmentadvisor and subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY Mellon"). The firm was formed onJanuary 31, 2018, through the merger of The Boston Company Asset Management, LLC (“TBCAM”) and StandishMellon Asset Management Company LLC ("Standish") into Mellon Capital Management Corporation ("MellonCapital”). Performance is presented to show the performance of all fee-paying portfolios with substantiallysimilar investment objectives, policies and strategies, which were managed at a prior firm affiliated with MellonInvestment Corporation until February 1, 2018. Performance results from the prior affiliated firm were linked onFebruary 1, 2018 to the results achieved at Mellon Investments Corporation in compliance with the GIPSGuidance Statement on Performance Record Portability. Firm assets presented through December 31, 2017represent the Firm assets of the Mellon Investments Corporation prior affiliated firm which managed thisinvestment strategy prior to the formation of Mellon Investments Corporation.

The composite’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Indexconsists of Inflation Protection Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. Some composite participants may usedifferent pricing vendors from other participants and the composite's benchmark.

The standard management fee for separately managed accounts in this strategy is 0.04% for first $100M, 0.03%for the next $100M, and 0.02% for the balance of assets under management. The following provides a simplifiedexample of the cumulative effect of management fees on investment performance: An annual management feeof 0.80% applied over a five-year period to a $100 million portfolio with an annualized gross return of 10% wouldreduce the value of the portfolio from $161,051,000 to $154,783,041. The actual management fee that applies toa client’s portfolio will vary, performance fees may apply and returns will be reduced by other expenses that theportfolio may incur. The standard fee schedules for Mellon Investments Corporation strategies are shown in Part2A of Mellon Investments Corporation Form ADV.

Gross performance figures are time-weighted rates of return, which include the deduction of transaction costs.Performance results reflect the reinvestment of interest income and other earnings. Gross-of-fee performancefigures for bank collective funds participating in the composite have been reduced by administrative fees inaddition to trading expenses. Bank collective fund returns may exclude transaction costs associated with client-driven contributions and withdrawals. Internal dispersion figures are an asset-weighted standard deviation of allportfolios that were included in the composite for the entire measurement period. Dispersion figures for yearscontaining 5 or fewer Portfolios are considered Not Meaningful or "N/M". The composite track record lacks therequired 36 months necessary for the three year annualized ex-post standard deviation where "N/A" ispresented.Mellon Investments Corporation claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®)and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. Mellon InvestmentsCorporation has been independently verified for the periods January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. Theverification reports are available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with allthe composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm- wide basis and (2) the firm’s policiesand procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards.Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation.

1-10 Year US Treasury TIPS Index Composite Performance

* Inception Date: February 2011. Source: State Street Global Advisors. 1 Returns greater than one year are annualized. Returns represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may differ from the performance shown. Returns shown are asset-weighted using Composite member market values, where the Composite member's return calculations are time-weighted and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. 2 These performance figures are provided gross of fees and expenses other than actual trading fees and expenses, and reflect all items of income, gain, and loss. 3 These performance figures (i) are provided net of actual trading, audit, custody, administrative and legal fees and expenses; (ii) beginning on 9/30/2014, adjusted quarterly to reflect the highest investment management fee on the actual fee schedule, inclusive of incentive fee, if any, of any account within the Composite ("Management Fee") at the relevant time; prior to 9/30/2014, adjusted for an assumed investment management fee, which is equal to or higher than the Management Fee (except in each case certain small accounts-subject to a minimum investment management fee-may have incurred an actual investment management fee higher than that fee assumed in calculating the performance shown above); and (iii) reflect all items of income, gain and loss. 4 Index returns are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses. Index returns reflect all items of income and the reinvestment of dividends (net of withholding tax rates) and other income and are calculated in US dollars. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Performance returns are calculated in US dollars. Calculation for value added returns may show rounding differences.

gPBGILB* 5 portfolios or less. ** Less than 3 years. Quarterly and YTD returns are not annualized. Investment Objective: The Strategy seeks an investment return that approximates as closely as practicable, before expenses, the performance of its benchmark index (the "Index") over the long term.Investment Strategy: The Strategy is managed using an "indexing" investment approach, by which SSGA attempts to approximate, before expenses, the performance of the Index over the long term. The Strategy will not necessarily own all of the securities included in the Index. The Strategy may attempt to invest in the securities comprising the Index, in the same proportions as they are represented in the Index. However, due to the diverse composition of securities in the Index and the fact that many of the securities comprising the Index may be unavailable for purchase, it may not be possible for the Strategy to purchase some of the securities comprising the Index. In such a case, SSGA will select securities for the Portfolio that SSGA expects will provide a return comparable to that of the Index. SSGA expects that it will typically seek to replicate Index returns for the Portfolio through investments in the "cash" markets - actual holdings of debt securities and other instruments - rather than through "notional" or "synthetic" positions achieved through the use of derivatives, such as futures contracts or swap transactions (except in the unusual case where SSGA believes that use of derivatives is necessary to achieve an exposure that is not readily available through the cash markets). The Strategy's return may not match the return of the Index.

Firm Definition: For the purpose of complying with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®), the firm ("SSGA-Global") is defined as all portfolios managed across the global offices of State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) and SSGA Funds Management, Inc., with the exception of Charitable Asset Management which is held out to the marketplace as a distinct business entity. Prior to January 2011, SSGA-Global excluded its wrap fee business and assets accounted for on a book value basis (global cash and stable value assets). Prior to July 2017, SSGA-Global excluded Fiduciary Advisory Solutions. In January 2011, SSGA acquired the Bank of Ireland Asset Management Limited (now known as SSGA Ireland Limited), a GIPS Compliant firm. On January 01, 2012 SSGA Ireland Limited assets were merged into SSGA-Global. In July 2016, SSGA acquired the asset management and advisory services business conducted by GE Asset Management (“GEAM”), a GIPS Compliant firm. On July 01, 2017 GEAM assets were merged into SSGA-Global.Composite Description: The Composite seeks to achieve the Investment Objective described below using the Investment Strategy described below.Compliance Statement: SSGA Global claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with GIPS. SSGA-Global claims compliance with the GIPS standards from January 01, 2000. The period prior to January 01, 2000 (where shown) is not in compliance, as not all actual fee-paying portfolios are in a composite. SSGA Global has been independently verified for the periods January 01, 2000 through December 31, 2017. GE Asset Management (GEAM) was not independently verified for the calendar year 2016 while transitioning into the firm. The verification report is available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation.List Available: A complete list of the firm’s composites and their descriptions is available upon request.Currency: Performance is presented in USD.Creation Date: The composite was created on October 01, 2013.Benchmark Description: The benchmark for the composite is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Inflation-Linked 1-10 Yrs Index. Index returns are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses but include all items of income, gain, and loss. On October 01, 2016, the benchmark name changed from Barclays U.S. Government Inflation-Linked 1-10 Yrs Index to Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Inflation-Linked 1-10 Yrs IndexUse of Subadvisors: None.Fees: Returns are expressed gross of management fees. The results do not reflect the deduction of investment management fees. Some members of this composite may accrue administration fees. The client's return will be reduced by the management fee. For example, if an annualized gross return of 10% was achieved over a 5-year period and a management fee of 1% per year was charged and deducted annually, then the resulting total return would be reduced from 61% to 54%.Fee Schedule: Management fees are 0.040% of the first $50M, 0.030% on the next $50M, and 0.025% thereafter for a commingled fund; and 0.050% of the first $50,000,000; 0.040% of the next $50,000,000; and 0.025% thereafter for a Separate Account . The minimum annual management fee for separately managed accounts is $175,000. Management fees may be adjusted based upon specific client requirements.Derivatives Use: SSGA may use futures and other derivatives from time to time in the management of the Strategy generally as a temporary substitute for cash investments or for hedging purposes and not with the purpose of creating investment leverage.Calculation Methodology: Additional information is available upon request regarding the firm’s policies and procedures for calculating and reporting performance results as well as valuation procedures.Annualized Returns: All returns for periods greater than one year have been annualized.Withholding Taxes Differences: None.Exchange Rates Differences Between Composite & Benchmark: None.Minimum Asset Level for Inclusion: 0Dispersion: Asset-Weighted standard deviation is calculated using the annual returns of the accounts that were included in the composite for all periods of the year and is not presented for periods with 5 or fewer accounts in the composite for the full year.Significant Events: In June 2013, Steve Meier, CIO of Cash, replaced Kevin Anderson, Ph.D. as the CIO of Fixed Income, Currency and Cash.

This document contains certain statements that may be deemed forward looking statements. Please note that any such statements are not guarantees of any future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected. The information provided does not constitute investment advice and it should not be relied on as such. It should not be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to sell a security. It does not take into account any investor's particular investment objectives, strategies, tax status or investment horizon. You should consult your tax and financial advisor. All material has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. There is no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the information and State Street shall have no liability for decisions based on such information.

Bonds generally present less short term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.

Government bonds and corporate bonds generally have more moderate short term price fluctuations than stocks, but provide lower potential long term returns.

Passively managed funds invest by sampling the index, holding a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics. This may cause the fund to experience tracking errors relative to performance of the index.

The trademarks and service marks referenced herein are the property of their respective owners. Third party data providers make no warranties or representations of any kind relating to the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the data and have no liability for damages of any kind relating to the use of such data.

Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

All the index performance results referred to are provided exclusively for comparison purposes only. It should not be assumed that they represent the performance of any particular investment.

Gross of fees performance does not reflect the deduction of investment management fees or performance allocations. A client’s return will be reduced by the management fees and any other expenses incurred in the management of the account. For example, if an annualized gross return of 10% was achieved over a 5–year period and a management fee of 1% per year was charged and deducted annually, then the resulting return would be reduced from 61% to 54%.
