Description of Firm McMorgan & Company LLC (“McMorgan”) is a San Francisco-based investment adviser that provides investment management services to institutional clients such as Taft-Hartley pension plans, multi-employer, jointly-trusted benefit plans, public pension plans, and other institutional clients, individual clients, as well as to high net worth clients. These services include advising clients in connection with investments in, among other things, various equity and fixed-income separate account products. McMorgan often executes its investment strategies through unaffiliated investment management firms selected and monitored by McMorgan, as described in greater detail below. McMorgan provides discretionary investment management to private funds1 (as described in greater detail below) and also makes available private funds that are managed by independent investment advisers. McMorgan was founded in 1969 and has been registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) since October 2001. McMorgan is principally owned by MCM Holdings, LP. There are no owners of MCM Holdings, LP that maintain 25% or more beneficial ownership. B. Types of Advisory Services Offered Fixed Income Separate Accounts – Selection of Sub-Advisers McMorgan generally selects and engages various independent investment advisers (“Sub- Advisers”) to manage the portfolios of institutional clients. Through sub-advisory agreements, McMorgan utilizes the services of various unaffiliated Sub-Advisers to provide active discretionary portfolio management for fixed-income separate account strategies. Pursuant to the terms of the sub-advisory agreements entered into between McMorgan and each Sub-Adviser, McMorgan delegates and grants to the Sub-Advisers the authority to buy, sell, or otherwise effect transactions for each account in accordance with the investment guidelines established for each account and other instructions or restrictions communicated to the Sub-Adviser by McMorgan. McMorgan selects Sub-Advisers based on an evaluation of their skills and investment results in managing assets for specific asset classes, investment styles, and strategies. Although McMorgan has delegated responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management (including authority over security-level decisions) to various Sub-Advisers, McMorgan will monitor such Sub-Advisers’ performance with respect to their management of client assets and retain the authority to engage or terminate each such Sub-Adviser.

Adviser will be based upon the continued suitability and performance of the Sub-Adviser in relation to its management of client assets. Generally, specific Sub-Advisers are utilized for each particular investment strategy. Information pertaining to various products or investment strategies also refers to the strategy or product of the particular Sub-Adviser, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires. Information regarding the services and strategies provided by the Sub-Advisers is set forth below. A more detailed description of the specific services available from each Sub-Adviser can be found in the specific Sub-Adviser’s current Form ADV Part 2A. Clients are encouraged to carefully review each Sub-Adviser's Form ADV Part 2A disclosure Brochure for a more in-depth description of their service offerings, fees and expenses, potential conflicts of interest, and professional background information applicable to each Sub-Adviser.
