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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2021:

GLOBAL REAL ESTATE INDEX FUNDcontinued  
At December 31, 2021, the Fund’s investments were denominated in the following currencies:
CONCENTRATION BY CURRENCY % OF NET
ASSETS
United States Dollar 56.2%
Japanese Yen 9.1
Hong Kong Dollar 7.2
Euro 6.4
All other currencies less than 5% 20.5
Total Investments 99.4

Net Assets 100.0%
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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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). The Fund adjusted the price of certain foreign equity securities held in its portfolio on December 31, 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.

EQUITY FUNDS    86    NORTHERN FUNDS QUARTERLY REPORT

  December 31, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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).
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.

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 December 31, 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.

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
December 31, 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 December 31, 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).
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 December 31, 2021:

STOCK INDEX FUNDcontinued December 31, 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).
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 December 31, 2021:
