Fund Performance

¹ The performance shown is for the stated time period only. Historical returns are not indicative of future performance.

Investment performance is presented net-of-fees—that is, with the deduction of external investment management fees, custody fees, and administrative and overhead expenses.

The investments of the Funds and Strategies may vary substantially from those in the applicable benchmark. The benchmarks are based on broad-based securities market indices, which are unmanaged and are not subject to fees and expenses typically associated with investment funds. Investments cannot be made directly in an index.

The strategy for the applicable P Series fund before January 1, 2019 and the strategy for the applicable I Series fund have substantially similar investment objectives and investment strategies and are referred to collectively as “the Strategy.” Thus, the Strategy performance presented reflects the actual returns of the applicable P Series fund through December 31, 2018, and the actual returns of the applicable I Series fund from January 1, 2019 onward. The performance of the applicable P Series fund after January 1, 2019 is excluded from the performance of the Strategy because, as of January 1, 2019, all Institutional Investors invest in the Strategy through the I Series fund. The P Series funds are not available to Institutional Investors other than in exceptional circumstances agreed to by the P Series funds adviser.

Historical returns are not indicative of future performance.

The performance shown is for the stated time periods only. Differences in timing of transactions and market conditions prevailing at the time of investment could lead to different results. The future performance of the I Series funds may be better or worse than the performance of the P Series funds. Factors that could affect performance differences between the I Series funds and the P Series funds include, but are not limited to, portfolio composition, strategy constraints, investor universe, size of the portfolio, fees, expenses and the timing of cash flows.

Units of the I Series funds are available to organizations related to The United Methodist Church and organized and operated exclusively for religious, educational, benevolent, fraternal, charitable, or reformatory purpose: (1) no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual; or (2) which is or maintains certain pooled income funds, collective trust funds, collective investment vehicles or similar funds for the collective investment and reinvestment of assets of certain designated vehicles available for charitable investments. All such organizations shall qualify as permissible investors in a fund excepted from the definition of “investment company” contained in Section 3(c) (10) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (and are referred to as “Institutional Investors”).

The P Series funds are not available to Institutional Investors other than in exceptional circumstances agreed to by the P Series funds adviser.

WII presents the performance of the Strategy in this manner because WII believes that it is a reasonable representation of the performance experience of an Institutional Investor invested in the Strategy over the relevant time periods, and may assist Institutional Investors considering an investment in the I Series funds in evaluating how the Strategy has historically performed. Additionally, the investment personnel managing I Series funds are substantially the same as the investment personnel that managed P Series funds during the period prior to January 1, 2019.
