Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 6.94%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 7.30% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc. and Franklin Advisory Services, LLC (collectively, “Franklin”).
Franklin Summary of Performance
The Fund seeks to closely track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index, before expenses, with an emphasis on minimizing tracking error relative to the index. During the period, tracking error remained low and was driven primarily by security-specific factors rather than active positioning decisions. As a result, differences in performance relative
to the
index reflected security selection effects, with selection within investment grade corporate bonds contributing modestly to performance, while security selection in agency mortgage-backed securities modestly detracted.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 7.18%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 7.30% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington”).
GSAM Summary of Performance
During the period, performance was affected by a combination of derivatives usage, country positioning, and government security selection. Forwards, futures, and swaps contributed to performance during the year, reflecting their respective roles in portfolio positioning and risk management. Country strategy was the largest contributor, with long exposure to New Zealand rates and short exposure to Japanese rates adding the most value. Government selection was the largest detractor, reflecting a preference for futures over cash Treasuries as part of the portfolio’s approach to duration management.
Wellington Summary of Performance
During the period, performance was influenced by sector allocation decisions and duration and yield curve positioning. Most fixed income sectors generated positive returns, as coupon income and periods of spread tightening helped offset the effects of volatile, and in some regions, higher global sovereign yields. Exposure to securitized sectors was the largest contributor to performance, led by allocations to non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, with agency mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities also contributing. Tactical duration and yield curve positioning was the largest detractor during the period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 7.89%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index, which returned 8.17% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: Insight North America LLC (“Insight”) and RBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited (“RBC”).
Insight Summary of Performance
Performance was primarily driven by duration and inflation positioning as well as security selection. A U.S. yield curve steepener was the largest contributor to performance, supported by the use of interest rate futures and foreign exchange forwards to enhance returns and manage tracking error. Significant detractors were the credit strategy and positions in the currency space, and an underweight to credit beta in the second and third quarters detracted the most from performance.
RBC Summary of Performance
Performance was affected by active positioning across sovereign and corporate credit during a volatile market environment, alongside declining U.S. bond yields. Opportunities in credit spreads contributed to performance, including exposure to Romanian sovereign credit, which benefited from tighter spreads as investors gained confidence in the sovereign’s fiscal reforms. These gains were partly offset by declines from term structure positioning and active foreign exchange, and while the portfolio maintained an overweight to corporate credit (cash bonds), credit default swap index hedges offset a portion of those gains.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 7.54%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index,
which returned
8.17% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: Insight North America LLC (“Insight”) and RBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited (“RBC”).
Insight Summary of Performance
Performance was primarily driven by duration and inflation positioning as well as security selection. A U.S. yield curve steepener was the largest contributor to performance, supported by the use of interest rate futures and foreign exchange forwards to enhance returns and manage tracking error. Significant detractors were the credit strategy and positions in the currency space, and an underweight to credit beta in the second and third quarters detracted the most from performance.
RBC Summary of Performance
Performance was affected by active positioning across sovereign and corporate credit during a volatile market environment, alongside declining U.S. bond yields. Opportunities in credit spreads contributed to performance, including exposure to Romanian sovereign credit, which benefited from tighter spreads as investors gained confidence in the sovereign’s fiscal reforms. These gains were partly offset by declines from term structure positioning and active foreign exchange, and while the portfolio maintained an overweight to corporate credit (cash bonds), credit default swap index hedges offset a portion of those gains.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31,
2025, the Fund returned 9.34%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned
7.30% and a composite index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, which returned 10.38% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin Advisers”).
Franklin Advisers Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was affected by security selection across sectors. Security selection in the gaming, lodging and leisure sector and in the technology segment of the high yield market contributed to performance, while security selection in the industrial sector and in healthcare-related issuers detracted from performance for the year.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 7.17%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 7.30% and an additional index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Notes 1-10 Year Index, which returned 7.47% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by one sub-adviser: Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”).
GSAM Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was driven by derivatives positioning, duration management, and sector allocation, with offsetting effects from security selection. The Fund utilized Treasury futures and interest rate swaps during the period. Interest rate swaps detracted from performance, though this was offset by Treasury futures, resulting in a positive contribution overall. Duration positioning contributed to performance, primarily driven by GSAM’s tactical auction month-end strategies. Sector allocation strategy also contributed, led by overweights to the collateralized loan obligation, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and investment-grade corporate sectors, which performed well during the year. Specific U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) selection detracted from performance, particularly in December, driven by security selection and exposure to shorter-dated TIPS.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 6.75%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 7.30% and an additional index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Notes 1-10 Year Index, which returned 7.47% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by one sub-adviser: Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”).
GSAM Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was driven by derivatives positioning, duration management, and sector allocation, with offsetting effects from security selection. The Fund utilized Treasury futures and interest rate swaps during the period. Interest rate swaps detracted from performance, though this was offset by Treasury futures, resulting in a positive contribution overall. Duration positioning contributed to performance, primarily driven by GSAM’s tactical auction month-end strategies. Sector allocation strategy also contributed, led by overweights to the collateralized loan obligation, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and investment-grade corporate sectors, which performed well during the year. Specific U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) selection detracted from performance, particularly in December, driven by security selection and exposure to shorter-dated TIPS.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 8.39%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg Multiverse Index, which returned 8.42% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-
advisers
: Loomis, Sayles, & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) and Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC (“Virtus”).
Loomis Sayles Summary of Performance
Performance was driven primarily by security selection, with yield curve positioning also contributing throughout the period. Exposure to high yield credit, investment grade credit and securitized sectors aided performance, largely due to security selection, while allocation effects also contributed within high yield credit. Non-U.S. dollar exposures contributed positively during the period. An out-of-benchmark allocation to securitized names detracted from performance.
Virtus Summary of Performance
Sector allocation, issue selection and duration impact contributed to performance during the period. An underweight to U.S. Treasuries, in addition to overweight allocation and security selection within emerging markets sovereign debt, contributed to performance, with emerging markets sovereign debt representing the largest contributor. Selection within high yield corporates and residential mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance, with high yield corporates representing the largest detractor in the context of active sector and issue selection.

Franklin Advisers Summary of Performance
Performance during the year was affected by portfolio positioning and sector exposures. Use of interest rate swaps and futures to adjust duration contributed to performance as part of overall portfolio management rather than on a standalone basis. Exposure to out-of-index mortgage credit sectors and asset-backed securities contributed to performance, while an underweight to investment grade corporate bonds and yield curve term structure positioning detracted from performance.

Management’s Discussion of Fund
Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 7.06%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 7.30% and an additional index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Mortgage Index, which returned 7.09% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by Empower Capital Management, LLC (“ECM”), the Fund’s investment adviser.
ECM Summary of Performance
During the period, the Fund maintained an overweight to agency mortgage-backed securities and an out-of-benchmark allocation to asset-backed securities, while holding an underweight to Treasuries, reflecting attractive valuations and a constructive view of market conditions. Treasury futures were used to manage interest rate risk and modestly detracted from performance. An overweight to agency mortgage-backed securities exposure was the largest contributor to performance, followed by asset-backed securities exposure which was the second largest contributor to performance over the period. Sector, duration and yield curve positioning did not have any negative impact on performance throughout the period.
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
