The investment objective of the Municipal Bond Portfolio strategy is to provide current income that is exempt from federal personal income taxes and to preserve investors’ principal. This strategy uses open-ended mutual funds to gain exposure to multiple managers with different fund objectives.
The Bond Portfolio strategy holds only individual investment grade corporate bonds or municipal bonds, and is a laddered fixed income strategy whereby multiple bonds are purchased, each with different maturity dates.
Structured Notes consists of a debt security linked to the performance of a reference asset (equity, basket of equities, equity index, commodity, commodity index, or foreign currency). Among the variety of structures available, most aim to help investors achieve the following primary objectives: minimize the loss of principal, generate higher yields, or participate in enhanced returns.
The Market-Linked CD strategy (MLCDs) provides investors with exposure to market-based returns linked to any one or more asset classes using FDIC-Insured, principal-protected MLCDs.

Glossary
Bear Market: A market in which prices are declining. A "bear" is a person who expects that the market or the price of a particular security will decline.
Call Options: An option which gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a fixed amount of a certain stock at a specified price within a specified time. Calls are purchased by investors who expect a price increase.
Canterbury Volatility Index (CVI): Measures the market’s volatility or emotional state. A CVI reading below 90 reflects a stable or rational market. A CVI above 90 reflects an emotional market. Investors may not make direct investments into an index.
Drawdown: The peak-to-trough decline during a specific record period of an investment, fund or commodity. A drawdown is usually quoted as the percentage between the peak and the trough.
ETF: An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is security that tracks an index, a commodity, bonds, or a basket of assets like an index fund. Unlike mutual funds, an ETF trades like a common stock on a stock exchange. ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they are bought and sold. Because it trades like a stock, an ETF does not have its net asset value (NAV) calculated once at the end of every day like a mutual fund does.
Index-Linked Certificate Of Deposit: A certificate of deposit (CD) with a return based on a specific index. These CDs are purchased for a fixed price and are FDIC insured. Reference to an index does not imply that the strategy will achieve returns, volatility or other results similar to that index. The composition of the index may not reflect the manner in which a strategy is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which are subject to change. Investors may not make direct investments into an index.
MSCI KLD 400 Social Index: Comprises securities of large, mid and small cap U.S. companies with high Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings and excludes companies involved in Alcohol, Gambling, Tobacco, Military Weapons, Civilian Firearms, Nuclear Power, Adult Entertainment, and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). The Index aims to serve as a benchmark for investors whose objectives include owning companies with very high ESG ratings and avoiding companies that are incompatible with specific values-based criteria. Reference to an index does not imply that the strategy will achieve returns, volatility or other results similar to that index. The composition of the index may not reflect the manner in which a strategy is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which are subject to change. Investors may not make direct investments into an index.
MSCI USA Catholic Values Index: A free float-adjusted market capitalization index consisting of 400 companies designed to be used as a U.S. equity benchmark for Catholic investors who seek equity ownership in alignment with the moral and social teachings of the Catholic Church. The composition of the index may not reflect the manner in which a strategy is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which are subject to change. Investors may not make direct investments into an index.
Open-End or Mutual Fund Investment Company: This is a company which uses its capital to invest in other companies. Open-end, or mutual funds, sell their own new shares to investors, buy back their old shares, and are not listed for trading on a stock exchange. Open-end funds get their name because their capitalization is not fixed and they normally issue more shares as people want them.
Options: A purchaser of an option has the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell certain securities at a specified price within a specified time.
Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT): An investment vehicle that invests funds on behalf of its investors in real estate-related investments such as construction loans, mortgages, land and real estate company securities.
S&P 500 Index: An index of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry grouping, among other factors. Companies included in the index are selected by the S&P Index Committee, a team of analysts and economists at Standard & Poor's. Reference to an index does not imply that the strategy will achieve returns, volatility or other results similar to that index. The composition of the index may not reflect the manner in which a strategy is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which are subject to change. Investors may not make direct investments into an index.
Time Decay: The ratio of change in an option's price to the decrease in time to expiration of the option which occurs because the probability of that option being profitable is reduced.
