S&P GSCI^® Strategy

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.

BENCHMARK: S&P GSCI^® Commodity Index

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, or any, of the futures contracts included in the Index.

The Strategy typically attempts to replicate the performance of the Index by entering into derivatives transactions, such as total return swap transactions, that provide a return based on the performance of the Index. In some circumstances, the Strategy may purchase the commodity futures contracts comprising the Index, in the same proportions as they are represented in the Index. In other circumstances the Strategy may attempt instead to purchase a representative selection of the futures contracts that comprise the Index, in an attempt to replicate the performance of the Index. In such a case, SSGA will select a portfolio of investments for the Strategy (which may or may not be those futures contracts included in the Index) that SSGA expects will provide a return comparable to that of the Index.

The Strategy will typically maintain a substantial cash balance. The Strategy will normally invest that cash in other short-term pooled investment vehicles sponsored, managed, or otherwise affiliated with SSGA, such as, for example, registered investment companies, private investment pools, or commingled trust funds. More information on the cash strategy is available upon request. The Strategy may at any time invest in additional or different investment vehicles, or may invest directly in short investments, in SSGA's discretion.

The Strategy's return may not match the return of the Index.

As part of its proxy voting program, SSGA is offering eligible investors that hold units in certain Portfolios a range of voting policies that can be applied to the voting of shares held in that Portfolio. Investors in these select Portfolios may, from time to time, enter into arrangements with SSGA pursuant to which such investors direct that a pro rata portion of shares held by the Portfolio attributable to such investors be voted pursuant to a voting policy made available by a third party proxy voting administrator. For a Portfolio structured as a pooled investment vehicle, an investor’s choice of voting policy and the voting of shares in accordance with such policy may not reflect, and may in fact conflict with, the concerns and values of one or more other investors in the Portfolio. To the extent that shares held by the Portfolio are voted pursuant to SSGA’s proxy voting program, there is a risk that such shares may be voted in a way that is different to how other equivalent shares held by the Portfolio are being voted. Please also refer to “Essential SSGA: A Summary of State Street Global Advisors’ U.S.-Domiciled Commingled Funds, U.S.-Managed Separately Managed Accounts and Related Conflicts of Interest” for additional information on SSGA’s policy on proxy voting and the risk factors associated with the SSGA proxy voting program.

The availability of the SSGA proxy voting program is subject to any applicable regulatory, operational (including in respect of fractional voting rights), local market (including any applicable local restrictions on split voting), tax, cost or other constraints of the third party proxy voting or SSGA. SSGA reserves the right to suspend or cancel, in full or in part, the SSGA proxy voting program (in any one instance or more broadly), including with immediate effect, if required by applicable law or regulation or if SSGA otherwise considers that such action is appropriate. This may result in shares being voted in accordance with the SSGA’s proxy voting policy rather than in accordance with an investor’s choice of voting policy.
