CGPCS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capital Group International, Inc. which in turn is owned
by Capital Research and Management Company, which is wholly owned by The Capital Group
Companies, Inc (“CGC”). The Capital Group Companies form one of the most experienced
families of investment management firms in the world, dating to 1931, and have always been
privately held. CGPCS was incorporated in California in 2020 and its primary business is
providing investment management and related services primarily to high net-worth individuals
and charitable organizations. These services include investments in separate securities and in
mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other pooled investment vehicles (such funds
and investment vehicles, “pooled funds”).
CGPCS’s investment approach is based on rigorous fundamental analysis. CGPCS’s offerings of
equity, fixed-income, balanced, and other investment strategies are informed by the client’s
investment profile, which takes into consideration a number of factors including their investment
objectives and goals, investment time horizon, risk tolerance and guidelines (including any
specific investment restrictions and limitations). In connection with our management of client
accounts, CGPCS allocates client assets among individual securities (such accounts, “Separate
Accounts”), one or more pooled funds, and separately managed accounts (“SMA Programs”).
In connection with its services, CGPCS will engage certain affiliates to provide investment
research, portfolio management, securities trading and related services. In addition, with respect
to SMA Programs, CGPCS may engage one or more sub-advisers that may or may not be
affiliated with CGPCS (each, a “Sub-adviser”) to provide discretionary portfolio management,
securities trading, and related services based on models provided by an affiliate of CGPCS.
Where Sub-adviser exercises discretionary authority over accounts in a SMA Program, and/or
where the client imposes non-standard restrictions, the holdings, returns and guidelines of the
client’s account in such program may differ from the corresponding CGPCS
strategy or model
portfolio from time to time. Clients with assets allocated to a Separate Account or SMA Program
should carefully review the disclosures provided by CGPCS, as well as any Sub-adviser or other
underlying manager regarding their services and fees. CGPCS will review and assess the
suitability of pooled funds, Separate Accounts and SMA Programs for clients based on their
individual investment profiles. CGPCS may also engage in periodic reviews of Sub-advisers and
other underlying managers.
Investment strategies that seek to enhance after-tax performance, including in SMA Programs,
may be unable to fully realize strategic gains or harvest losses due to various factors. Market
conditions may limit the ability to generate tax losses. Tax-loss harvesting also involves the risks
that the new investment could perform worse than the original investment and that transaction
costs could offset the tax benefit. In addition, a tax-managed strategy may cause a client portfolio
to, regardless of investment conviction, hold a security in order to achieve more favorable tax
treatment or to sell a security in order to create tax losses. A tax loss realized by a U.S. client
after selling a security will not be usable if the client purchases the same or a substantially
identical security within thirty days before or after the sale. This is called a “wash sale” and can
occur inadvertently where CGPCS or its Sub-advisers manage more than one account owned by
a client, or where a client trades in other portfolios not managed by CGPCS or its Sub-advisers.

does not provide retail banking services nor does it engage in the brokerage or corporate finance
businesses.
