CP Risk Management Services (“CP RMS") Cerity Partners’ wholly owned subsidiary CP RMS assists clients with life, disability and long-term care insurance planning needs.

CP RMS reviews and monitors clients’ insurance policies throughout the life of the policy. CP RMS will also assist clients’ families in filing for and collecting death claims. CP RMS personnel are insurance licensed. Private Market Investments Program (“PMI”) Cerity Partners can introduce an opportunity to prequalified clients to participate in the PMI Program. Cerity Partners will introduce this program to those clients for whom it reasonably believes this program is appropriate given the client's net worth, investible assets, current portfolio composition, investment objective, liquidity needs, and risk considerations. Through robust investment due diligence, Cerity Partners seeks to identify appropriate PMI Program Vehicles (“PMI Vehicles”) for the client's review and consideration. Cerity Partners will not exercise any discretionary authority to place any client funds in a PMI Vehicle, and a client should review all the terms and conditions of the PMI Program agreement before entering the program. No participating client is required to invest in any specific PMI Vehicle identified by Cerity Partners. Unlike liquid investments, PMI Vehicles generally involve additional material risks, including liquidity constraints and lack of transparency. Additionally, the investor must be able to bear the complete loss of his/her investment. The terms and conditions of a client's participation in any PMI Vehicle can include the corresponding fees and risks and will be set forth in the PMI Vehicle’s offering and subscription documents, purchase agreement or other disclosure documents (“Governing Documents”). The client should review the Governing Documents before deciding to become an investor in the PMI Vehicle. Cerity Partners will then conduct annual due diligence reviews of the PMI Vehicles. The fees charged by the PMI Vehicles are separate from, and in addition to, Cerity Partners' advisory fee. Please Note: As described below in
