The sponsor and depositor is Synthetic Fixed-Income Securities, Inc., an affiliate of Wells Fargo.

Revenue drivers

• Underlying Allstate securities — The trust's cash flows depend on payments from the underlying securities issued by The Allstate Corporation; no direct revenue generation from operations.
