Target Buffer Strategy:
Scenario Analyzer

This tool is designed to help investors explore potential targeted outcomes of existing and blended
Target Buffer Strategies
based on various ending values in the underlying reference asset at the end of the Target Outcome Period.

IMPORTANT: This tool is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of future results of the strategy. The projections or other information generated by this tool are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment outcomes and are not a guarantee of future results. Results may vary with each use and over time. Hypothetical target outcomes do not reflect fees or expenses that may apply.

The information presented is not intended to constitute an investment recommendation for, or advice to, any specific person. Investors are responsible for evaluating investment risks independently and for exercising independent judgment in determining whether investments are appropriate for them. The targeted outcomes may only be realized if investors are holding shares at the beginning of the outcome period and continue to hold them on the last day of the outcome period. There is no guarantee that the strategy will be successful in its attempt to provide the targeted outcomes.

Key Assumptions and Limitations

The calculations of the reference asset level performance range and the Strategy’s hypothetical returns are based on the current values shown above.

The projections or other information generated by this Target Buffer Strategy Scenario Analyzer regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results.The Strategy’s hypothetical return assumes the current reference asset level remains unchanged and the investment will be held to the end of the Target Outcome Period. The Strategy's hypothetical return utilizes the intrinsic value of the options positions used to establish the Cap and Buffer range. Due to the hypothetical nature of the returns, actual performance and returns of any product related to the strategy may be higher or lower than the returns depicted by the Target Buffer Strategy Scenario Analyzer.
