Passive vs. Active Passively managed funds Track groups of investments representative of a market to measure performance Provide broad market exposure Typically lower operating expenses than actively managed funds Low portfolio turnover Typically a lower return potential than actively managed funds Actively managed funds Managed to try to surpass the total return of a particular index Run by a professional portfolio manager or group of professionals Using research, financial analyses and personal expertise No guarantees of accomplishing the goal of higher returns than benchmark May have higher management fees than passively managed funds 22 A benchmark index is not actively managed, does not have a defined investment objective and does not incur fees or expenses. Therefore, performance of a fund will generally be less than its benchmark index. You cannot invest directly in a benchmark index.

You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Rebalancing does not ensure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. A collective investment trust is not a mutual fund and is exempt from SEC registration. Designed for and exclusively sold to qualified retirement plans and their participants, the funds are not available to individual retail investors. Capital preservation funds are not federally guaranteed and may lose value. These investments have interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying assets owned by the portfolio or fund. Separately managed accounts are not registered investment products but separate accounts created specifically for the plan. Separately managed funds are not required to file a prospectus or registration statement with the SEC and, accordingly, neither is available. A collective trust stable value fund is offered by a bank or trust company. These investments have interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying assets owned by the portfolio or fund. The strength of the wrap contracts, which provide book-value guarantees associated with a fund, depends on the financial strength of the financial institutions issuing the contracts. Certain fixed interest products are offered through insurance company group annuity contracts or funding agreements. The guarantees are backed by the general assets of the insurance company issuing the contract. The strength of the guarantee is dependent on the financial strength of the insurance company issuing the contracts. Funds may impose redemption fees and/or transfer restrictions if assets are held for less than the published holding period. For more information, see the fund s prospectus and/or disclosure documents A bond fund's yield, share price and total return change daily and are based on changes in interest rates, market conditions, economic and political news, and the quality and maturity of its investments. In general, bond prices fall when interest rates rise and vice versa. Compared to more highly rated securities, high-yield bond investment options are subject to greater risk, including the risk of default. Certain underlying funds invest in treasury inflation-protected securities ( TIPS ). Unlike conventional bonds, the principal or interest of TIPS is adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers [CPI-U]). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the actual rate of inflation. U.S. Treasury securities are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest if held to maturity. Investment options are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. government. 36

Equity securities of small and mid-sized companies may be more volatile than securities of larger, more established companies. Foreign investments involve special risks, including currency fluctuations, taxation differences and political developments. Equity securities of companies located in emerging markets involve greater risks than investing in more established markets, including currency fluctuations, political developments and share illiquidity. Asset allocation and balanced investment options and models are subject to the risks of the underlying funds, which can be a mix of stocks/stock funds and bonds/bond funds. Specialty funds invest in a limited number of companies and are generally non-diversified. As a result, changes in market value of a single issuer could cause greater volatility than with a more diversified fund. Real estate securities and trusts involve greater risks than other non- diversified investments, including but not limited to: declining property values, varying economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, or losses from casualty. Real estate securities that invest in foreign real estate involve additional risk, including currency fluctuations and political developments. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by financial factors, political developments and natural disasters. As such, investment options that invest primarily in commodities may experience greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. A company stock investment option invests in the stock of one company. It has more risk than a diversified portfolio consisting of the stocks of many companies and may be used to round out a well-diversified portfolio. Company stock is not offered by GWFS Equities, Inc. A benchmark index is not actively managed, does not have a defined investment objective, and does not incur fees or expenses. Therefore, performance of a passively managed fund (index fund) will generally be less than its benchmark index. You cannot invest directly in a benchmark index. Putnam mutual funds are managed by Putnam Investment Management, LLC and are distributed by Putnam Retail Management. The Putnam Stable Value fund is distributed and managed by Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company. Putnam is affiliated with GWL&A and GWL&A of NY and their subsidiaries and affiliates. 37
