Current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted past performance, which cannot guarantee future results. Unit price, principal value, and return will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you take a distribution.
An investment in the U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per unit, it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolio.
1 The stated total annual asset-based fees consist of the estimated underlying mutual fund expenses and the annualized Program Fee for each portfolio. The estimated underlying mutual fund expenses are based on a weighted average of each Fund's expense ratio, in accordance with the Investment Option's actual asset allocations among the applicable Funds as of June 30, 2012.2 Yields for the U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio represent the average daily dividends for the seven days, annualized by 365 days and divided by the net asset values per share at the end of the period. Year-to-date figures are not annualized and represent total return, which includes reinvested distributions (income and capital gains) and any change in unit price for the given period. The yield presented in this table more closely reflects the current earnings of the Money Market Portfolio than the total return. The Program Fee will be waived in whole or part in the event that the combination of the Annualized Expense Ratio and the Program Fee would result in a negative return for the U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio. The fee waiver, when implemented, has the effect of increasing the Portfolio's net yield.
General Information:Total return figures include changes in principal value, and any reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Dividends and capital gains distributed by underlying mutual funds become income to the portfolios. However, the MCIP portfolios (except for the U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio) do not distribute any dividends or capital gains, so changes in the total returns are reflected by changes in the net asset value.
