Schedule of Investments
EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY INDEX FUNDcontinued June 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three levels listed below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities on the measurement date.
Level 2 - Other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices in active markets for similar securities, securities valuations based on commonly quoted benchmark interest rates and yield curves, maturities, ratings and/or securities indices). The Fund adjusted the price of certain foreign equity securities held in its portfolio on June 30, 2021 using adjustment factors designed to reflect more accurately the fair value of the securities. The fair valuation of these securities resulted in their categorization as Level 2 investments.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (e.g., information about assumptions, including risk, market participants would use in pricing a security).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and other financial instruments, if any. The following table summarizes the valuations of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021:

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three levels listed below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities on the measurement date.
Level 2 - Other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices in active markets for similar securities, securities valuations based on commonly quoted benchmark interest rates and yield curves, maturities, ratings and/or securities indices). The Fund adjusted the price of certain foreign equity securities held in its portfolio on June 30, 2021 using adjustment factors designed to reflect more accurately the fair value of the securities. The fair valuation of these securities resulted in their categorization as Level 2 investments.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (e.g., information about assumptions, including risk, market participants would use in pricing a security).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and other financial instruments, if any. The following table summarizes the valuations of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021:

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three levels listed below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities on the measurement date.
Level 2 - Other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices in active markets for similar securities, securities valuations based on commonly quoted benchmark interest rates and yield curves, maturities, ratings and/or securities indices). The Fund adjusted the price of certain foreign equity securities held in its portfolio on June 30, 2021 using adjustment factors designed to reflect more accurately the fair value of the securities. The fair valuation of these securities resulted in their categorization as Level 2 investments.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (e.g., information about assumptions, including risk, market participants would use in pricing a security).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and other financial instruments, if any. The following table summarizes the valuations of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021:

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three levels listed below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities on the measurement date.
Level 2 - Other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices in active markets for similar securities, securities valuations based on commonly quoted benchmark interest rates and yield curves, maturities, ratings and/or securities indices). The Fund adjusted the price of certain foreign equity securities held in its portfolio on June 30, 2021 using adjustment factors designed to reflect more accurately the fair value of the securities. The fair valuation of these securities resulted in their categorization as Level 2 investments.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (e.g., information about assumptions, including risk, market participants would use in pricing a security).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and other financial instruments, if any. The following table summarizes the valuations of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities on the measurement date.
Level 2 - Other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices in active markets for similar securities, securities valuations based on commonly quoted benchmark interest rates and yield curves, maturities, ratings and/or securities indices).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (e.g., information about assumptions, including risk, market participants would use in pricing a security).

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities on the measurement date.
Level 2 - Other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices in active markets for similar securities, securities valuations based on commonly quoted benchmark interest rates and yield curves, maturities, ratings and/or securities indices).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (e.g., information about assumptions, including risk, market participants would use in pricing a security).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and other financial instruments, if any.
