Jennison Associates LLC (Jennison or the Firm) claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. Jennison has been independently verified for the period from January 1, 1993 through December 31, 2023. A firm that claims compliance with the GIPS Standards must establish policies and procedures for complying with all applicable requirements of the GIPS Standards. Verification provides assurance on whether the firm’s policies and procedures related to composite and pooled fund maintenance, as well as the calculation, presentation, and distribution of performance, have been designed in compliance with the GIPS Standards and have been implemented on a firm-wide basis. The Active Intermediate Government/Credit Composite has had a performance examination for the periods from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2023. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.

Jennison Associates LLC is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Parent”). Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Prudential Financial, Inc. of the United States is not affiliated in any manner with Prudential plc, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom, or with Prudential Assurance Company, a subsidiary of M&G plc, incorporated in the United Kingdom. On January 1, 2006, Jennison redefined the Firm to include JMA assets, for all periods after January 1, 2006.
The net of fee 1, 5, 10 year returns for the composite as of 12/31/2023: 5.31%, 1.64%, 1.91%, respectively. The 1, 5, 10 year returns for the benchmark as of 12/31/2023: 5.24%, 1.59%, 1.72%, respectively.
The Composite inception date was February 28, 1993 and the Composite creation date under the GIPS standards was October 2022. Accounts in this composite have intermediate benchmarks such as the Bloomberg US Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index or another similar index. The accounts in this Composite are actively managed using all investment grade sectors of the bond market. We do not make duration bets; as a result, portfolio duration will be in close alignment to that of the benchmark. Sector weightings are determined relative to the benchmark and at times, significant over or under-weights relative to the benchmark may be employed. The investment objective is to provide better performance than the benchmark over a market cycle through yield curve management, sector rotation and the careful selection of individual securities. Prior to October 2022, the composite name “Active Intermediate Government/Credit” was used for a different composite. A list of Jennison’s composite and limited distribution pooled fund descriptions is available upon request. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS Reports are available upon request.
Where allowed by client guidelines, the Strategy includes the regular use of Treasury futures for non-speculative, hedging purposes only. These derivative instruments are used to implement yield curve and duration management strategies. The risk characteristics of these instruments are similar to the underlying Treasury securities.
Performance results are calculated in US dollars and reflect reinvestment of income and other earnings. Gross of fee performance is presented before custodial and Jennison’s actual advisory fees but after transaction costs. Net of fee performance is presented net of Jennison’s actual advisory fees and transaction costs. For an active intermediate government/credit separate account the fee schedule offered to institutional clients is as follows: 0.25% on first $250 million of assets managed; 0.20% on next $250 million; 0.10% on next $500 million; 0.08% on the balance. For any account with a balance of $800 million or greater, the fee schedule is as follows: 0.13% on the first $1.2 billion of assets managed; 0.10% on the next $800 million; 0.08% on the balance. The fee schedule for stable value accounts differs and is available upon request. The minimum account size for a new separate account is generally $100 million. Actual advisory fees charged and actual account minimum size may vary by account due to various conditions described in Jennison Associates LLC’s Form ADV.
The data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance results fluctuate, and there can be no assurances that objectives will be achieved. Client’s principal may be at risk under certain market conditions.
The Internal Dispersion (dispersion) is the standard deviation of individual gross account returns within a composite. It is a measure of how consistently a strategy has been applied across accounts within a composite. The dispersion is calculated when there are at least six accounts in the Composite for a full year and is based on the gross of fee annual returns of accounts in the Composite for the full year. For those periods where less than six accounts are in the Composite for a full year, or where the period is less than a full year, “N/A” is presented.
The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite’s gross return the benchmark over the preceding 36-month period. This measure is not required to be presented for annual periods ended prior to 2011 or when 36 monthly composite returns are not yet available.
The benchmark for the composite is the Bloomberg US Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index. The Bloomberg US Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Indexincludes securities in the intermediate maturity range of the US Government/Credit Bond Index. The Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index includes securities in the Government and Credit Indices. The US Government Bond Index includes Treasuries (i.e., public obligations of the U.S. Treasury that have remaining maturities of more than one year) and agencies (i.e., publicly issued debt of U.S. Government agencies, quasi-federal corporations, and corporate or foreign debt guaranteed by the U.S. Government). The US Credit Bond Index includes publicly issued U.S. corporate and foreign debentures and secured notes that meet specified maturity, liquidity, and quality requirements. Index returns are not covered by the report of the independent verifier. The financial indices referenced herein are provided for informational purposes only. When comparing the performance of a manager to its benchmark(s), please note that the manager's holdings and portfolio characteristics may differ from those of the benchmark(s). Additional factors impacting the performance displayed herein may include portfolio-rebalancing, the timing of cash flows, and differences in volatility, none of which impact the performance of the financial indices. Financial indices are unmanaged and assume reinvestment of income and other earnings but do not reflect the impact of fees, applicable taxes or trading costs which may also reduce the returns shown.
