Past performance does not guarantee future results.Indices are unmanaged and not available for direct investment.
US Corporates are represented by the Bloomberg US Credit Corporate 5-7 Year Index; US Treasuries are represented by the Bloomberg US Treasury 5-7 Index for 2018-2021 and 2023, the Bloomberg US Treasury 4-7 Year Index from 2014-2017 and the Bloomberg US Treasury 3-7 Year Index for 2022. US Municipals are represented by the Bloomberg Municipal Index 15-year Index for 2021, the Bloomberg Municipal Index 10-year Index for 2019-2020 and 2023, the Bloomberg Municipal Index 7-year Index for 2017-2018, 2014, 2022 and the Bloomberg Municipal Index for 2015-2016. This analysis highlights comparable duration sectors over each period. As the durations of those sectors change, so do the indices used for the analysis. Tax rate used: 43.4% for 2014-2017 and 40.8% for 2018-2023. The tax rates include the net investment income tax. Returns do not reflect state and/or local taxes, nor do they reflect the AMT. Other effective tax rates would have achieved different results. Actual results will vary. Duration between indices within each period is within 0.5 years of one another. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of an investment’s price to nominal interest-rate movement.

Performance
SI = Since Inception. Fund Inception: 04/18/2018
Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, not net asset value (NAV). Total returns are calculated using the daily 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time NAV. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns an investor would receive if they traded shares at other times. Brokerage commissions apply and will reduce returns.
