(a) All or a portion of the security was purchased on a delayed delivery basis. As of September 30, 2022, the total payable for investments purchased on a delayed delivery basis was $614,776.

(b) The security is a direct debt of the agency and not collateralized by mortgages.

(c) Security is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of September 30, 2022, the value and the percentage of net assets of these securities was $4,792,935 and 10.0% of the Fund.

(d) Convertible security.

(e) Perpetual security. Next contractual call price and date are presented in parentheses, if applicable.

(f) All or a portion of the security was on loan as of September 30, 2022.

(g) Security is a step-up bond where the coupon may increase or step up at a future date or as the result of an upgrade or downgrade to the credit rating of the issuer. Rate stated was the coupon as of September 30, 2022.

(h) The interest rate for this security is inversely affected by upgrades or downgrades to the credit rating of the issuer. Rate stated was the coupon as of September 30, 2022.

(i) Security has a variable rate. Interest rates reset periodically. Rate stated was in effect as of September 30, 2022. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are presented. Certain variable rate securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread because they are determined by the issuer, remarketing agent, or offering documents and are based on current market conditions. The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflect the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

(j) This senior floating rate interest will settle after September 30, 2022. If a reference rate and spread is presented, it will go into effect upon settlement.

(k) Non-income producing security.

(l) Security fair valued in good faith as a Level 3 security in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Good faith fair valued securities are classified for Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement" based on the applicable valuation inputs. See FASB ASC Topic 820 in the Schedules of Investments.

(m) Yield changes daily to reflect current market conditions. Rate was the quoted yield as of September 30, 2022.

Securities Lending and Securities Lending Collateral. All Funds are approved to participate in agency based securities lending with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street” or “Custodian”). Per the securities lending agreements, State Street is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved borrowers and is required to maintain collateral. Each Fund receives either cash or non-cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Generally, cash and non-cash collateral received for the following types of securities on loan are as follows: US equities – 102%; US corporate fixed income – 102%; US government fixed income – 102%; international equities – 105%; international corporate fixed income – 105%; sovereign fixed income – 102%; and asset backed investments – 102%. Collateral requirements are evaluated at the close of each business day; any additional collateral required is typically delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The duration of each loan is determined by the agent and borrower and generally may be terminated at any time. Certain loans may be negotiated to mature on a specified date. State Street has agreed to indemnify the Funds in the event of default by a third party borrower. A Fund may experience a delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss if the borrower breaches its agreement with the Fund or becomes insolvent. For cash collateral, the Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates negotiated with the borrower. The Funds bear the market risk with respect to the collateral investment and securities loaned. The Funds also bear the risk that State Street may default on its obligations to the Funds. Non-cash collateral may include US government securities; US government agencies’ debt securities; and US government-sponsored agencies’ debt securities and mortgage-backed securities. For non-cash collateral, the Funds receive lending fees negotiated with the borrower. State Street has agreed to indemnify the Funds with respect to the market risk related to the non-cash collateral investments.

The cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market fund and a series of State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust, which is an open-end management company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“the 1940 Act”). The Funds also bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of collateral available for return to a borrower due to a decline in value of the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio.

Security Valuation. Under the Trust's valuation policy and procedures (“Valuation Policies and Procedures”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”), on behalf of each Fund, has designated to Jackson National Asset Management LLC (“JNAM” or the “the Administrator”) the responsibility for carrying out certain functions relating to the valuation of portfolio securities for the purpose of determining the net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund. Further, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Valuation Designee. As the Valuation Designee, the Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) and adopted valuation procedures and guidelines (the “Valuation Procedures”) pursuant to which the Adviser determines the “fair value” of a security for which market quotations are not readily available, or are determined to be not reflective of market value.

The NAV of a Fund's shares is generally determined once each day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, at the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday). The NAV of a Fund’s shares may also not be determined on days designated by the Board or on days designated by the SEC. Consistent with legal requirements, calculation of a Fund’s NAV may be suspended on days determined by the Board during times of NYSE market closure, which may include times during which the SEC issues policies or protocols associated with such closure pursuant to Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act. In the event that the NYSE is closed unexpectedly or opens for trading but closes earlier than scheduled, the Fund’s Valuation Committee will evaluate if trading activity on other U.S. exchanges and markets for equity securities is considered reflective of normal market activity. To the extent a NYSE closure is determined to be accompanied by a disruption of normal market activity, the Valuation Committee may utilize the time the NYSE closed for purposes of measuring and calculating the Funds’ NAVs. To the extent an NYSE closure is determined to not have resulted in a disruption of normal market activity, the Valuation Committee may utilize the time the NYSE was scheduled to close for purposes of measuring and calculating the Funds’ NAVs.

The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets of a Fund, deducting its liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Equity securities are generally valued at the official closing price of the exchange where the security is principally traded. If there is no official closing price for the security on the valuation date, the security may be valued at the most recent sale or quoted bid price prior to close. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV per share determined as of the close of the NYSE on each valuation date. Pricing services are generally used to evaluate debt securities. Term loans are generally valued at the composite bid prices provided by approved pricing services. Futures contracts traded on an exchange are generally valued at the exchange’s settlement price. Exchange-traded options are valued by approved pricing sources at the last traded price prior to the close of business on the local exchange. In the event that current day trades are unavailable, or the trade price falls outside of the current bid ask spread, exchange traded options are valued at the current day’s mid-price. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued at the foreign currency exchange rate as of the close of the NYSE, unless an unexpected disruption on the NYSE and the Funds’ valuation policies require the Administrator to determine the “fair value” of the contracts.

Situations that may require an investment to be fair valued may include instances where a security is thinly traded, halted or restricted as to resale. In addition, investments may be fair valued based on the occurrence of a significant event. Under the Trust’s valuation procedures, a “significant event” affecting a single issuer might include, but is not limited to, an announcement by the issuer, a competitor, a creditor, a major holder of the issuer’s securities, a major customer or supplier, or a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority relating to the issuer, the issuer’s products or services, or the issuer’s securities. A “significant event” affecting multiple issuers might include, but is not limited to, a substantial price movement in other securities markets, an announcement by a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority relating to securities markets, political or economic matters, or monetary or credit policies, a natural disaster such as an earthquake, flood or storm, or the outbreak of civil strife or military hostilities. Securities are fair valued based on observable and unobservable inputs, including the Administrator's or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of an investment. Under the procedures approved by the Valuation Committee, the Administrator may utilize pricing services or other sources in determining the fair value of an investment. Factors considered to determine fair value may include fundamental analytical data relating to the security; the nature and duration of restrictions, if any, on the disposition of the security; trading volume on markets, exchanges, or among dealers; evaluation of the

forces which influence the market in which the security is traded; the type of security; the financial statements of the issuer, or other financial information about the issuer; the cost of the security at its date of purchase; the size of the Fund’s holding; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class, if applicable, at the time of purchase or at a later date; reports prepared by analysts; information as to any transactions in or offers for the security; the existence of any merger proposal, tender offer or other extraordinary event relating to the security; the price and extent of public or dealer trading in similar securities or derivatives of the issuer or of comparable companies; trading in depositary receipts; foreign currency exchange activity; changes in the interest rate environment; trading prices of financial products that are tied to baskets of foreign securities; and any other matters considered relevant.

If an investment is valued at a fair value for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV, the value may be different from the last quoted price for the investment depending on the source and method used to determine the value. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.

The Valuation Committee reviews fair value determinations pursuant to the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Committee will also review the value of restricted securities, securities and assets for which a current market price is not readily available, and securities and assets for which there is reason to believe that the most recent market price is not reflective of the market value (e.g. disorderly market transactions).

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement". This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Fund’s investments under FASB ASC Topic 820 guidance. The inputs are summarized into three broad categories:

Level 1 includes valuations based on quoted prices of identical securities in active markets, including valuations for securities listed on a national or foreign stock exchange or investments in mutual funds.

Level 2 includes valuations determined from significant direct or indirect observable inputs. Direct observable inputs include broker quotes, third-party prices, closing prices of similar securities in active markets, closing prices for identical or similar securities in non-active markets or corporate action or reorganization entitlement values. Indirect significant observable inputs include factors such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds or credit ratings. Level 2 includes valuations for fixed income securities, including certain term loans, OTC derivatives, centrally cleared swap agreements, broker quotes in active markets, securities subject to corporate actions, securities valued at amortized cost, swap agreements valued by pricing services, American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts for which quoted prices in active markets are not available or securities limited by foreign ownership.

Level 3 includes valuations determined from significant unobservable inputs including the Administrator's own assumptions in determining the fair value of the investment. Inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities include security specific inputs such as: credit quality, credit rating spreads, issuer news, trading characteristics, call features, maturity or anticipated cash flows; or industry specific inputs such as: trading activity of similar markets or securities, changes in the security’s underlying index or changes in comparable securities’ models. Level 3 valuations include securities; term loans that do not meet certain liquidity thresholds; securities where prices may be unavailable due to halted trading, restricted to resale due to market events, or newly issued; private placements; or investments for which reliable quotes are otherwise not available.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Significant changes in unobservable valuation inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement than the one used in a security’s valuation. There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3 for the period. There were no significant Level 3 valuations for which unobservable valuation inputs were developed at September 30, 2022.

Unfunded Commitments. Certain Funds may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrowers’ discretion. Unfunded loan commitments and funded portions of credit agreements are marked-to-market daily.
