Description of Advisory Services
Bancolombia provides asset/portfolio management and financial advice to individuals, institutions and
corporations. Bancolombia’s investment advisory services are provided through various types of
discretionary and non-discretionary accounts (the “Accounts”) in accordance with each client’s
investment objectives and pursuant to the terms outlined in Bancolombia’s investment advisory
agreement. The Adviser’s discretionary and non-discretionary investment management services include
the design, structure, and implementation of various personalized investment strategies for managed
Accounts. Investment activities focus on investments in various kinds of assets and securities in a variety
of markets that are intended to fit within the client’s objectives, strategies, restrictions, time horizon and
risk profile as described by each client. The overall advisory services offered by Bancolombia fall within
the following categories:
➢ Customized Discretionary Portfolios
Adviser offers discretionary separately managed accounts that are customized to each client’s investment
objective and risk profile. Managed Accounts may focus on investments in specified and limited kinds of
assets and securities, in limited markets, or they may be broad-based across many asset classes and
markets. Such accounts are intended to fit within the investor’s objectives, strategies and risk profile as
described by each client. The strategies utilized for these customized accounts may be similar to or may
vary widely from the core strategies typically utilized by the Adviser, as further described in Item No. 8
or customized for each client based upon varying factors. Clients may place targets on certain programs
and may restrict the types of investments made in such programs.
Bancolombia tailors investment advisory services to the individual needs of the client. The goals and
objectives for each client are documented via new account documentation or managed account agreement.
Client profiles are created to reflect the stated goals and objectives according to the new account
documentation or the Investment Policy Statement (IPS), as applicable. Bancolombia’s clients are allowed
to impose restrictions on certain programs on the investments in their accounts. All limitations and
restrictions placed on accounts must be presented to Bancolombia in writing.
o Sub-Advisory Services
Under a discretionary portfolio and based upon the stated investment objectives of the client, the Adviser
can hire an affiliated sub-advisor to
provide investment sub-advisory services for the benefit of its
discretionary client(s). The Adviser will serve as the ultimate portfolio manager and will continue to
P a g e| 5
render services to the client and, in addition, monitor and review the performance of the third-party sub-
advisor and the performance of the client’s accounts that are being managed accordingly.
In order to identify and select an appropriate sub-adviser, the Adviser will typically gather information
about each client’s financial situation, investment objectives, as well as any investment targets, limits or
restrictions considered for the management of accounts. The sub-adviser only renders advice to
Bancolombia with respect to the investment programs it carries out for its client. Typically, after selecting
the appropriate sub-adviser based on clients’ needs, the sub-adviser will make available their portfolio
strategies or models for our client to invest in. The Adviser will make the ultimate investment decision in
their discretionary authority to manage the clients’ account(s).
➢ Other Non-Discretionary Advisory Services
Adviser provides non-discretionary advisory services to all types of clients in accordance with a non-
discretionary advisory agreement between Adviser and the client. Each agreement typically defines the
services to be provided and if a fee is charged, the fees will also be agreed to in the advisory agreement.
Adviser also provides recommendations and research regarding the investment of securities and cash in a
client’s account. These services are individually tailored to each client’s needs and such advice may be
provided to accounts with assets maintained at various third parties.
➢ Other Services
Adviser may provide additional services for clients from time to time as agreed between the client and the
Adviser.
Additional General Information
Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, etc.) may be recommended to clients or
engaged directly by the client on an as-needed basis. Conflicts of interest related to recommendations of
other professionals will be disclosed to the client in the event they should occur.
Bancolombia investment advisory agreements will not be assigned without client consent.
Wrap Program

Wrap fee programs are inclusive of most transaction costs and fees; therefore, the costs incurred will

capacity. Bancolombia will receive the differential of the Wrap fee minus brokerage costs. There is no
difference in the investment process based on the fee program selected by the client.
