Performance information regarding the investment options presented on this website is historical. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Neither an investment in an option that invests in an underlying money market mutual fund nor the underlying money market mutual fund is insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the underlying money market mutual funds seek to preserve the value of the investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money.
