Investment Strategy
The weighting of the Treasury Instruments constituting the Benchmark Portfolio Index will be based on each maturity’s duration contribution. The expected range for the duration weighted percentage of the 2 year and 5-year maturity Treasury Instruments will be from 30% to 70%. The expected range for the duration weighted percentage of the 10-year maturity Treasury Instruments will be from 5% to 25%. The relative weightings of the Benchmark Component Instruments will be shifted between maturities when there are material changes in the shape of the yield curve.
