The Morningstar Rating™ for separate accounts is a quantitative assessment of past performance—both return and risk—as measured from 1 to 5 stars. The Morningstar Rating, often referred to as the “star rating,” is a familiar tool that helps investors evaluate the risk-adjusted returns of separate account composites. It also helps identify management teams that are adding value over time, compared with others in their Morningstar Category™. As always, the Morningstar Rating is intended only for use as a first step in the investment evaluation process. More detailed information is available at:

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable). Please note that the Morningstar rankings are for the I share classes only; other classes will have different performance characteristics due to different expense ratios.
