The Morningstar Sustainability Rating^TM is used to evaluate how well the companies within a fund's holdings are managing their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks in comparison to other funds in the Morningstar Global Category. The rating is depicted by globe icons, where five globes equal a strong ESG score (low ESG risk), and one globe equals a weak ESG score (high ESG risk). Only funds with at least 67% of their assets under management covered by Morningstar will receive a rating. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating^TM is assigned to all funds that meet the criteria and is not limited to those with explicit sustainable or responsible investment mandates. Morningstar updates its sustainability ratings monthly. Morningstar also provides various other sustainability scores and ratings as well as carbon emissions metrics. Definitions of the scores, ratings and metrics are available from Morningstar here: https://www.morningstar.com/research/signature

Please be aware that ESG scores and ratings assigned to a fund by Morningstar do not evaluate the fund's ESG-related investment objectives or strategies, and are not indicative of how well ESG factors are integrated by the fund or how ESG factors may affect the fund's financial performance. Investors should not rely solely on Morningstar ESG scores and ratings when making investment decisions. The fund's Morningstar ESG scores and ratings may change over time, and there can be no assurance the fund will maintain its scores and ratings in the future. Additionally, other third-party ESG rating providers may prepare fund ESG scores and/or ratings using their own methodologies, which may differ from the methodologies used by Morningstar. The information presented in any such scores and/or ratings should be viewed in the context of the provider's own methodologies and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for making investment decisions. For further information about the fund's ESG investment objectives and strategies, please refer to the fund's prospectus, available here: https://www.neiinvestments.com/investment-products/fund-resources/prospectus-AIFs.html
