| Track Record Compiled By: Wilshire Associates

Program Description: The ABR 75/25 Volatility Strategy is intended as an optimal blend of 75% ABR Dynamic Blend Equity and Volatility Index (ABRVXX) plus 25% ABR Enhanced Short Volatility Index (ABRXIV). Using ABR's proprietary models, the strategy incorporates long volatility exposure to target significant gains in extended periods of high volatility (Crisis Alpha) while using short volatility exposure to seek to harvest the volatility risk premium in normal markets. With both long and short exposures to volatility, the ABR 75/25 Volatility Strategy has the potential to produce positive returns in various market conditions. The ABRVXX and ABRXIV Indices were created on April 30, 2015 and January 31, 2017, respectively, with a time series data beginning on December 30, 2005. Each individual Index is independently calculated and published by Wilshire Associates
