The Goldman Sachs New Horizons Index, GS American Funds® GFA 15% Index, Loomis Sayles Discovery Index, SG Macro Compass Index and S&P 500 Distance Stabilizer TCA Index are excess return indexes. Indexes calculated on an excess return basis include calculation elements that reduce index performance. Because of this, an excess return version of an index will have lower performance than a total return version of the same index would, especially in high interest rate environments. Some excess return indexes also deduct a notional charge(s) in calculating index performance. This deduction(s) will reduce the potential positive change in index performance and increase the potential negative change in the index performance.
