Stable Value Fund Quarterly Range of Return
At the beginning of each quarter, the investment manager will project a
range for the expected return of the Stable Value Fund, which is
communicated as an annualized percentage. There is no
guarantee that the fund will earn a yield within this range. The return may
be higher or lower. For the current quarter ending September 30, 2009, the
projected range is expected to be between 1.5% and 2.25% annualized until
the end of the quarter. The actual annualized rate of return for the
previous quarter was 2.26%.
