S&P 500® Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index

Overview

This section constitutes only a brief overview of the S&P 500® Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index. The index is described in more detail under "The Underliers - S&P 500® Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index" in the underlier supplement referred to in "About This Index Supplement" below.

The S&P 500® Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index (current Bloomberg symbol: "SPXFVPRE Index"), which we also refer to in this index supplement as the "index," is designed to provide leveraged exposure to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index based on a dynamic volatility target, subject to a minimum exposure of 100% and a maximum exposure of 200%. The S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index measures the performance of the nearest maturing quarterly E-mini S&P 500 futures contract trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The S&P 500® Index includes a representative sample of 500 companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy.

The index has a base date of February 4, 1998, with a base value of 100, as adjusted, and is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC.

We have derived all information contained in this index supplement regarding the index from publicly available information. Additional information about the index is available on the following website: spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/strategy/sp-500-futures-volatility-plus-daily-risk-control-index. We are not incorporating by reference the website or any material it includes in this index supplement.

The graph below shows the daily historical closing levels of the index from January 2, 2019 through November 1, 2024 (using hypothetical performance data and historical closing levels). As a result, the below graph does not reflect the global financial crisis which began in 2008, which had a materially negative impact on the price of most equity securities and, as a result, the level of most equity indices. Since the S&P 500® Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index was launched on April 25, 2022 and has a limited operating history, the graph includes hypothetical performance data for the S&P 500® Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index prior to its launch of April 25, 2022. The hypothetical performance data prior to April 25, 2022 was obtained from the index sponsor's website, without independent verification. The daily historical closing levels from April 25, 2022 to November 1, 2024 were obtained from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification. (In the graph, historical closing levels can be found to the right of the vertical solid line marker.) You should not take the hypothetical performance data or historical levels of the index as an indication of its future performance.

The following table provides the annualized return and annualized volatility of the index for each applicable period ended November 1, 2024 (using hypothetical performance data and historical closing levels, as described above). Annualized return represents the average rate of return per annum, calculated as the geometric average of the percentage change of the index during the applicable time period. Annualized volatility is a measure of the historical variability of returns, and is calculated as the square root of 252 multiplied by the sample standard deviation of the daily logarithmic returns of the index during the applicable time period. You should not take any hypothetical or historical annualized return or annualized volatility information regarding the index as an indication of its future performance.

Index Annualized Volatility Compared to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index and its Parent Index

The following graph provides a comparison of the annualized volatility of the S&P 500® Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index, the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index and the S&P 500® Index from January 2, 2019 through November 1, 2024 (using hypothetical performance data and historical closing levels, as described above). In the graph, historical annualized volatility can be found to the right of the vertical solid line marker. For each day, annualized volatility is a measure of the historical variability of returns, and is calculated as the square root of 252 multiplied by the sample standard deviation of the daily logarithmic returns of the index during a 60 business day look-back period. You should not take the hypothetical or historical annualized volatility of the indices as an indication of the future performance of any index, including the S&P 500® Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index.

Index Volatility Spread

The following graph shows the percentage difference in the annualized volatility of the index compared to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index from January 2, 2019 through November 1, 2024 (using hypothetical performance data and historical closing levels, as described above). In the graph, historical annualized volatility can be found to the right of the vertical solid line marker. For each day, annualized volatility is a measure of the historical variability of returns, and is calculated as the square root of 252 multiplied by the sample standard deviation of the daily logarithmic returns of the index during a 60 business day look-back period. The index is intended to provide investors with leveraged exposure to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index based on a dynamic volatility target. The dynamic volatility target is the applicable realized volatility of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index plus 10%. However, because of how the leverage factor is calculated, there is a lag of two index calculation days between the measurement of realized volatility of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index and the calculation of the leverage factor. Therefore, the index will not reflect the most current volatility of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index and the realized volatility of the index will not always be exactly 10% higher than the realized volatility of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index. You should not take the hypothetical or historical annualized volatility of the indices as an indication of the future performance of any index, including the S&P 500® Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index.

In the graph, historical data can be found to the right of the vertical solid line marker. The percentage of index exposure to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index on November 1, 2024 is 183%. You should not take the hypothetical performance data or historical levels of the index as an indication of its future performance.

If the Value of an Underlier Changes, the Market Value of Your Securities May Not Change in the Same Manner

Is One of the Companies Whose Common Stock Comprises the Reference Equity Index, and Except to the Extent That We or Our Affiliates May Currently or in the Future Own Securities of, or Engage in Business With, the Issuers of Securities Comprising the Reference Equity Index or Own the Underlying Futures Contracts, There Is No Affiliation Between Us and the Issuers of Securities Comprising the Reference Equity Index
Linking to an Equity Futures Contract Is Different From Linking to the Applicable Reference Equity Index
Negative Roll Yields Will Adversely Affect the Level of the Equity Futures Index Over Time and Therefore the Amount Payable on the Securities
Futures Contracts Are Not Assets with Intrinsic Value

Notwithstanding That the Title of the Volatility Plus Index Includes the Phrase "Risk Control," the Volatility Plus Index May Decrease Significantly More or Increase Significantly Less Than the Underlying Index

The Volatility Plus Index Will Not Reflect the Most Current Volatility of the Underlying Index
The Relative Performance of the Volatility Plus Index As Compared to the Underlying Index Cannot Be Predicted
The Volatility Plus Index Is Subject to Risks Associated With Leveraged Exposure and There Is a Greater Risk You Will Not Receive a Coupon, If Applicable, and a Greater Risk You Will Receive Less than the Face Amount of Your Securities Relative to Securities Linked to the Underlying Index, Assuming All Other Terms Remain the Same
There Is No Guarantee that the Volatility Plus Index Will Achieve the Volatility Target
The Volatility Plus Index Will Have Leveraged Exposure to the Underlying Index in Falling Stock Markets
The Volatility Plus Index Has a Limited Operating History
If the Closing Level of the Volatility Plus Index Becomes Zero or Negative, the Closing Level of the Volatility Plus Index Will Remain Zero
