Morgan Creek also provides non-discretionary investment advice to a number of other accounts. The advice can vary from pure asset allocation recommendations to a more comprehensive customized solution including asset allocation, portfolio construction, and manager selection, which some clients utilize. In Non- Discretionary Client relationships, the Adviser generally does not have discretion to buy or sell securities, place orders with brokers, hire custodians or trustees, select brokers, or vote proxies. Generally, the Adviser’s investment recommendations may include asset classes, investment managers within asset classes, and portfolio construction given the desired investment risk of the client. Non-Discretionary Clients may hire the Adviser to provide investment recommendations covering their entire portfolio or a portion of their portfolio. The Adviser’s advice may include recommendations of publicly traded securities in addition to recommendations of private investment funds. individual needs of clients.

With respect to its non-discretionary investment advice to other accounts, Morgan Creek’s advice can vary from pure asset allocation recommendations to a more comprehensive customized solution including asset allocation, portfolio construction, and manager selection.

As mentioned above, Non-Discretionary Clients may hire Morgan Creek to provide investment recommendations covering their entire portfolio or a portion of their portfolio. Morgan Creek’s advice generally includes recommendations of private investment funds, though from time to time recommendations can include publicly traded securities. Given the nature of these Non-Discretionary Client relationships, these clients retain ultimate investment discretion. As such, they have the authority to accept or reject Morgan Creek’s recommendations and are able to thereby monitor and impose their own specific restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. In certain unique instances, and for a large/strategic investor, Morgan Creek may establish a single-investor Fund and the investment advisory services provided to that single-investor Fund will be tailored to the individual needs of the investor.
