Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. For more information, please refer to the GIPS composite report found in the documents section.

Performance shown prior to February 1, 2018 represents results achieved by the Resilient Global Equity Team prior to joining Allspring. Although the composition of the investment team has evolved since the strategy’s inception date, the team has managed the strategy in a consistent manner over time.

Performance shown is related performance of the institutional composite. The Global Dividend Payers strategy is only provided via a non-discretionary model to Sponsors, and as such, Allspring Funds Management does not have a retail SMA performance composite. Performance information shown above is not actual performance for any Allspring Funds Management retail SMA performance composite but is related institutional composite performance for a similar strategy offered by our affiliated institutional investment adviser, Allspring Global Investments, which acts as a sub-adviser for the Global Dividend Payers model provided to Sponsors. The performance is being shown solely as supplemental information to help you understand how a similar strategy offered by an affiliated institutional investment adviser has performed. This is not intended as an offer for any Allspring Global Investments institutional composites or accounts. If your firm (Sponsor) uses this model, actual performance can be obtained from your firm and will differ from the institutional composite performance shown.

Given limitations of the data vendor, which elects to state the dividend yield of certain ADRs net of maximum potential withholding and periodically and systematically reports some OTC ADR yields as 0% as the result of missing data rather than company action, the above yield likely understates the actual / comparable gross yield of the same portfolio as measured in other data systems by approximately 30-40 bps.

The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities held by a strategy may decline due to general market conditions or other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of such securities. Securities markets are volatile and may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, regulatory, political, or economic developments. Different sectors of the market and different security types may react differently to such developments. Foreign investments may be subject to lower liquidity, greater price volatility and risks related to adverse political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Foreign investments may involve exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be subject to higher withholding and other taxes. A strategy that invests a significant portion of its assets in one country or geographic region will be more vulnerable than a strategy that invests its assets more broadly to the economic, financial, political or other developments affecting that country or region. Such developments may have a significant impact on the strategy’s investment performance causing such performance to be more volatile than the investment performance of a more geographically diversified strategy.

Allspring Managed Account Services (the firm) is a unit within Allspring Global Investments and is responsible for the management and administration of the Allspring Funds Management, LLC, retail separately managed account portfolios (wrap portfolios). Allspring Funds Management acts as a discretionary manager for separately managed accounts ("SMA") and as a non-discretionary model provider in a variety of managed account or wrap fee programs (“MA Programs”) sponsored by third party investment advisers, broker-dealers, or other financial services firms (a “Sponsor”). When acting as non-discretionary model provider, Allspring Funds Management responsibility is limited to providing non-discretionary investment recommendations (in the form of model portfolios) to the Sponsor. The Sponsor may use these recommendations in connection with its management of MA Program accounts. In these “model-based” programs, the Sponsor serves as the investment manager and maintains trade implementation responsibility.
