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 State Street IM attempts to approximate, before expenses, the performance of the Index over the long term. There can be no guarantee that the Strategy will achieve its investment objective.

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, State Street IM will select a portfolio of investments for the Strategy (which may or may not be those futures contracts included in the Index) that State Street IM 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 State Street IM, 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 State Street IM's discretion.

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