Potential Options to Raise Cash for Norwalk Pension Plan

Option1:

Keep 6 months of cash on hand. Board revisits cash needs semi-annually or as needed.

Option 2:

Increase the target allocation to cash from 1% to 2% (fixed income target allocation to be reduced by 1%). Board re-visits for typical plan rebalancing, as needed.

Option 3:

Delegate authority to Staff to raise cash, as needed, with the assistance of investment consultant. Outline parameters on amounts, limitations and eligible asset classes.

For example:

• The Board delegates Staff the authority to raise up to $5mm at one time, if needed, to pay capital calls and benefits payments.

• Staff is only allowed to raise cash from daily liquid asset classes specified by the Board (domestic equity, international equity, fixed income, liquid real assets). Asset classes that are overweight relative to target will be used for redemptions, when possible.

• Staff reviews the asset allocation and submits the proposed redemption request to the investment consultant for review.

• Investment consultant opines on the proposed request and either agrees or disagrees. If investment consultant disagrees, they will make a suggestion for alternative redemption proposal.

• CFO and/or Board Chair reviews request and signs off.

• Staff submits redemption request.

2Q 2021: Total Return Performance Attribution*

Positioning Market Action Results

Duration Duration positioning was trimmed in a disciplined fashion during the quarter as Treasury yields fell, ending approximately half a year shorter than the Index

While short rates were modestly higher, U.S. Treasury yields fell beyond 3-Year maturities, with the 10-Year and 30-Year down 27 and 33 bps, respectively

Slight Negative

Yield Curve Increased underweight to the intermediate part of the curve,

while long-end positioning was unchanged The yield curve flattened, led by the decline in longer yields Neutral

Sector

• Position in government securities in line with benchmark

• Corporate credit continued to represent a relative underweight given tight valuations, while the small allocation to high yield was maintained

• Overweight agency and non-agency RMBS with a smaller overweight in ABS

• Fixed income spread sectors generally outpaced Treasuries during the quarter with the overall Aggregate Index ahead of Treasuries by 16 bps on a duration-adjusted basis

• Investment grade credit yield premiums fell modestly and the sector outpaced Treasuries by 112 bps on a duration-adjusted basis, led by those sectors hardest hit by the pandemic, while high yield outpaced Treasuries by 200 bps and spreads compressed by over 40 bps

• Agency MBS was the only fixed income sector to lag Treasuries on a duration-adjusted basis, while other securitized sectors trailed corporate credit but outpaced Treasuries

Small Negative

Issue Selection

• Corporate credit allocation is focused on defensive sectors that offer more stability in times of volatility such as communications and non-cyclicals, and on idiosyncratic opportunities where wider spreads offer more compelling value

• Agency MBS position was trimmed somewhat, but emphasizes current (low) coupon TBAs with attractive financing rates given the Fed’s sizable footprint, while pools focus on low loan balance and geography stories

• Maintain position in senior seasoned non-agency MBS

• ABS focused on AAA-rated CLOs and select government guaranteed FFELP student loan collateral

• Industrials were top performers among corporate credit, led by energy, basic industry, and capital goods, which benefitted from a rebound in economic activity, with more modest, but solid performance among non-cyclical sectors, while finance companies were also top performers

• Heightened prepayment activity weighed on the agency MBS basis, particularly higher coupon mortgages, though TBAs continued to benefit from a higher running yield than pools

• Non-agency MBS fared well in 2Q as the combination of housing tailwinds and rebounding economic environment supported a decline in yield premiums across the sector

• ABS sectors continued to perform well, supported by policy that has helped keep the consumer afloat

Positive

*Attribution based on gross performance. Realized performance will be reduced by fees and expenses. Portfolio characteristics and holdings are subject to change at any time. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

2Q 2021: Fed’s Largesse Decouples Markets from the Economy

Our View: In seeking to achieve its dual mandate of full employment and stable inflation, the Federal Reserve has flooded the market with liquidity and pushed asset prices far beyond where a recovering economy would normally suggest. Capital markets look late-cycle given aggressive underwriting, tight spreads, and increased speculation. All the while, the economy, bolstered by stimulus, with high unemployment and rapid growth, looks early cycle. Regardless of which scenario prevails, history suggests that with equities at all-time highs and credit spreads at all-time tights, prospective returns in credit markets are not especially compensatory and elevated valuations provide little margin for error for any downside risks that may occur. Additionally, the risk of higher inflation and higher rates, combined with the prospective decline in the level of fiscal stimulus should create bouts of volatility and may increase the odds of slipping back into recession.

2Q 2021: Market Review – Markets Mull “Transitory” Inflation Risks

Our View: For the moment, evidence (softening commodity prices and contained inflation expectations) suggests that the transitory narrative is correct. In our view, base effects will roll off and supply pressures will likely ease over the next few months as some disinflationary forces remain in play likely keeping inflation risks contained in the near to intermediate term. However, there remain potential drivers to upward price pressure, with a possibility for temporary inflation to become more permanent, particularly if the labor force is slow to normalize and inflation expectations become unanchored.

• Risk assets were undeterred by signs of inflation, with equity indices hitting new highs. The S&P 500 has gained over 14% so far this year. Across credit markets, demand continues to drive spreads to historically low levels, despite record levels of issuance and increased signs of late-cycle behaviors, such as share-buyback activity and weakening underwriting standards.

• Over the past several months, as vaccine deployment has ramped up and economic reopening expanded, concerns about inflation monopolized headlines. While this translated into sharply higher interest rates in the first quarter, over the last several months the reflation trade appeared to stall as markets seemingly bought into the Fed’s narrative that higher recent inflation is transitory. As such, this scenario along with the assumption of a rosy economic outlook is fully reflected in market pricing.

• Inflationary pressures did manifest in a significant surprise to the high side for the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which jumped in both April and May nearly 5.0% (year-over-year), the highest level since 2008. Despite this, the 10-Year Treasury rallied from a peak of 1.7% in March to as low as 1.4% and Treasury breakeven inflation rates continued to price prospects of near-term inflation at higher levels than longer-term inflation, evidence that the market is accepting of the transitory thesis.

2Q 2021: Fed Policy Review – Improved Outlook with Long-Term Inflation on Target

Our View: While the Fed’s assessment of the economy is better, there remains tremendous uncertainty ahead, particularly as fiscal stimulus is set to expire this summer. Risk assets priced to perfection are vulnerable to a faster liftoff than expected by the Fed, while a patient Fed that stays on the sidelines too long risks higher inflation and more drastic rate hikes down the road. Both circumstances create challenges for markets. Having concluded they hiked too early during the last cycle, along with their confidence in being able to deal with higher inflation, the Fed will likely err on the side of being too late to hike rather than too early.

Financial Conditions Continue to Ease

• At the June Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the Fed maintained an accommodative policy stance, leaving rates and the pace of bond buying unchanged. However, revised interest rate projections were more hawkish, i.e., higher, than markets anticipated. The median policy rate, or “dot plot,” forecast two rate hikes by end-2023, a faster than anticipated pace of tightening due to upgraded estimates for growth and inflation. However, the outlook for inflation in 2023 remains unchanged at 2.1%.

• Following the meeting, Chair Powell emphasized that the dots should be taken with “a big grain of salt” as they were highly uncertain individual projections, not an FOMC commitment. Market moves following the meeting saw a flattening of the Treasury curve, as short-term rates rose and longer maturities fell, unwinding the 5- and 30-Year Treasury curve steepening witnessed earlier this year. In addition, the dollar strengthened modestly, and equity markets were down on the day, though market moves largely retraced by quarter-end.

• Outside of the post-FOMC market moves, financial conditions remained remarkably, if not exceptionally, accommodative. According to the Goldman Sachs U.S. Financial Conditions Index (FCI), which factors in current interest rates, the dollar, credit spreads, and equity prices, current financial conditions are close to the easiest they have been on record.

• Despite the surprise on the Committee’s rate hike projections, hikes are typically preceded by a tapering of asset purchases. On this point, Federal Reserve Chair Powell did not suggest any pull-forward in the timeline for tapering, noting instead that in June the Fed “talked about talking about tapering” i.e., beginning the conversation among Committee members.

2Q 2021: U.S. Economic Review – Stimulus Driven Recovery Continues

Our View: The pandemic delivered an unprecedented shock to the U.S. economy and the recovery has proceeded in fits and starts, and with no historical precedent to draw upon, economic forecasting is particularly difficult. Nevertheless, the data suggest that the biggest price increases have been in those sectors most directly impacted by the shutdown, which have seen a snap back as the economy reopens. There is additional concern that demand for durable goods during the pandemic pulled forward consumption with an expected drop in demand as that impulse wanes. Finally, the impact of government stimulus efforts has been substantial, and the impact on consumer finances and overall demand is uncertain as that stimulus fades in the coming months. All of which implies that asset prices at all-time highs supported by relentlessly optimistic economic outlooks do not fully account for the myriad risks facing the economy today.

• As business restrictions lift and social activity increases, the U.S. economic recovery is gathering strength. The Fed raised its projections for economic growth, anticipating a 7% expansion this year, a number that is consistent with market forecasts, but is largely dependent on stimulus effects, which peaks this quarter. With stimulus money spent, fiscal policy is set to contract in the latter half of the year, with long-run growth declining to roughly 2%.

• Labor market conditions improved over the quarter, though the slow pace underscored the ongoing challenges. While recent non-farm payrolls increased by 559,000, this was below expectations, and a decline in the unemployment rate to 5.8% was overshadowed by a largely unchanged participation rate of 61%. Importantly, there remains a long recovery ahead; as 7.6 million jobs have been lost versus pre-pandemic levels and nearly 16 million people are still collecting unemployment benefits.

• Retail sales declined in May by 1.3%. Core retail sales, which excludes automobiles, gas, building materials, and food services and corresponds most closely with the consumer spending component of GDP, dropped 1.5%. This decline suggests that as the economy re-opens, some of the pandemic-related spending on goods will begin to moderate.

• However, the retail sales numbers do not reflect broader measures of consumer spending on services, which saw a steady recovery as the economy opened further. The ISM Services PMI rose to a record high of 64 in May from 62.7 the month prior as demand for travel, hotel, and restaurants boosted the numbers. Despite elevated price pressures that were evident in the report, order backlogs continued to grow, and delivery times lengthened in a sign of pent-up demand.

2Q 2021: Global Review – An Uneven Recovery Continues

Our View: The global economy continues to improve, yet unevenly, driven by progress in vaccination, control over outbreaks, and the extent of policy support. There is heightened uncertainty around the outlook, with mounting downside risks if growth slows in the U.S. or China later this year. Engineering a smooth exit from policy support or shifting to a more hawkish policy stance in the face of rising inflation poses a significant challenge for policy makers but may open opportunities for investors.

• Even with regional outbreaks of COVID-19 in parts of Asia, Latin America, and the surge of a new variant in the UK, the global recovery is continuing as most major economies have begun the process of reopening. As a result, forecasters expect the global economy to expand by 5.8% this year, with global activity measures and trade improving concurrently and rebounding nearly 25% from March 2020 lows.

• China’s economy remains central to the global recovery and data prints this quarter suggested that activity might be stalling. Export growth in May slowed more than expected, driven by a contraction in COVID-related goods exports. In addition, credit growth declined into negative territory, potentially sapping Chinese demand for commodities and further infrastructure development, most of which is financed.

• Given the progress on recovery, some economies have started to roll back pandemic-related monetary support. While most major advanced economy central banks have kept a generally dovish stance, the Bank of England reduced bond purchases, as did the Bank of Canada. Several other countries, facing higher inflation, such as Brazil, Russia, South Korea, and Hungary, have either taken steps to hike rates or have turned more hawkish as a precursor to future hikes.

• Recent data suggests that despite the improving outlook, it will take a while for jobs and living standards to return to pre-crisis levels. According to the International Labor Organization, global labor income was 8% lower and nearly 144 million jobs were lost due to the pandemic. The global jobs shortfall in 2022 is still estimated at 23 million jobs, even with the pace of the current global recovery.

2Q 2021: U.S. Corporate Credit Review – No Margin for Error

Our View: Current market spreads reflect a Goldilocks scenario of strong growth, contained inflation, and rising earnings. Yet debt has grown to record levels and the list of risks is mounting: faster-than-expected inflation, higher rates, lower growth, and a slower recovery. In the unlikely event the Goldilocks scenario plays out, the scope for further spread tightening is limited, reducing the potential upside to credit, while any of the numerous risks could lead to substantially wider spreads and poor performance. Given that range of outcomes, there tends to be a scarcity, though not an absence, of value in credit overall. Nevertheless, a recognition of strong technical factors and a reliance on solid credit underwriting and idiosyncratic opportunities will inform positioning in the space.

• Continued fiscal and monetary support coupled with confidence in the economic recovery drove credit spreads to a post-Global Financial Crisis record low of 77 basis points over Treasuries. At the same time, the Corporate Bond Index has become incrementally riskier over the years given deteriorating quality, a lower average yield, higher levels of leverage, and longer duration. Adjusting for those changes in the Index composition suggests that today’s credit spreads represent all-time lows in the level of compensation for credit risk.

• Stimulus measures helped propel a rebound in corporate earnings, as the S&P 500 constituents posted a weighted average earnings per share growth of 50% this quarter. Largely due to this improvement in earnings, investment grade corporate issuers saw a reduction in gross leverage to 2.5X, from a peak of 3.0X last year. Over 68% of investment grade companies saw an improvement in this metric, though leverage remains elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels.

• While key credit measures have continued to recover from pandemic lows, debt growth remains conspicuously positive, a unique characteristic of this recession, as corporates typically actively delever their balance sheets during the early stages of a credit cycle. Instead, corporate debt outstanding recently topped $11 trillion (~1/2 of U.S. GDP), the highest on record, and companies have used proceeds to engage in M&A activity and share buybacks, which is more suggestive of emerging late cycle vulnerabilities.

• A full recovery is also reflected in the price of bonds in the high yield market. Spread levels fell through cycle lows to 278 basis points, and average yields fell to another all-time low of 3.7%. The search for yield has sustained an unprecedented pace of issuance of nearly $50 billion per month and has helped drive down the number of bonds trading at distressed levels, with just 14 CUSIPs trading below $70. Sustained investor demand has also forestalled any fallen angels from investment grade to high yield this year.

2Q 2021: U.S. Securitized Review – A Broad-Based Recovery from Pandemic Lows

Our View: Across securitized products, technical factors have driven spreads tighter and opportunities for attractive value remain scarce. Despite recent improvements, we expect more delinquent CMBS loans to emerge as appraisals are revised lower. For the moment, TBA exposure in the agency MBS market still provides attractive carry given ongoing Fed support, as does legacy non-agency MBS given high quality cash flows and better relative value. Further, despite the run-up in home prices, mortgage underwriting has remained solid with none of the aggressive affordability products like negative amortization loans, ultra-low teaser rates, no documentation loans, etc. seen in 2006 and 2007. As a result, the overall leverage in the housing market is much lower than it was pre-financial crisis and the risk of a wholesale collapse in home prices akin to what was experienced in 2008 and 2009 is also much lower, making well-structured non-agency MBS more compelling.

• Rising disposable income from stimulus payments, a favorable rate environment, and a surge in pandemic-driven demand paved the way for the current boom in housing. Home prices in April increased by 13% year-over-year, the highest annual gain in 15 years. The combination of housing tailwinds and a rebounding economic environment supported mortgage credit spreads, which tightened across non-agency MBS.

• Notwithstanding the broader improvement in the macro environment and robust demand from banks and continued Fed purchases, agency MBS struggled this quarter as prepayment speeds rose unexpectedly by over 12% in April, with higher coupon mortgages bearing the brunt of prepayments. This contributed largely to the sector’s underperformance, as agency MBS trailed Treasuries by over 60 bps on a duration-adjusted basis.

• CMBS continued improving with the 30+ day delinquency rate falling to 6.5%, as the hardest-hit sectors of retail and hotel benefited from reopening. With the worst-case scenario of the pandemic behind us in the U.S., default and loss assumptions are being revised lower. However, CMBS losses still vary meaningfully across bull, base, and bear scenarios, highlighting the idiosyncratic nature of CMBS credits.

• Meanwhile, consumer ABS has benefitted from record low levels of delinquency as sizeable stimulus continues to support consumers. Credit card debt declined nearly 20% this year, as consumers used stimulus checks to pay down debt, while auto delinquencies fell to pre-pandemic levels, even after accounting for pandemic-related extensions.

2Q 2021: Total Return Positioning Summary

Defensive positioning overall given historically tight spreads and abundant risks, while an ample level of liquidity is maintained to respond to potential volatility.

Characteristics Positioning Comments

Duration Ended the quarter approximately 0.5 years short versus the benchmark Remain shorter than the Index with yields still relatively low

Curve Underweight intermediate and longer maturities The curve is likely to steepen as the Fed anchors short-intermediate rates for the foreseeable future, while longer

rates drift higher on increased Treasury funding needs and potential longer term inflation risks

Governments Neutral with an emphasis on on-the-run securities • On-the-run Treasury securities provide much greater liquidity

• No exposure in TIPS given relatively wide breakeven inflation rates

MBS

• Agency MBS – overweight

• Non-Agency MBS – maintain allocation, with bias to add on pricing dislocations

• Preference for current coupon agency MBS TBAs which remain attractive given relatively high carry of TBAs versus specified pools

• Maintain emphasis on higher quality, shorter duration, currently amortizing non-agency MBS bonds

• Look to add exposure in heavily discounted senior legacy non-agency MBS bonds with solid fundamentals

ABS Small overweight • Prefer AAA CLOs given better liquidity, robust structures and reasonable spreads

• Maintain modest position in select FFELP student loan ABS

CMBS Neutral • Emphasis on non-agency CMBS holdings, in particular super senior single asset single borrower deals, but beginning to look down the capital structure for opportunities

Investment Grade Credit Underweight

• Remain underweight given historically low yield premiums

• Positioning remains concentrated in high conviction names, intermediate banks, and defensive sectors like communications and non-cyclicals, particularly healthcare

• Minimal exposure to cyclical credit sectors and non-corporate credit

High Yield Small allocation Emphasize defensive credits and select, high conviction idiosyncratic issuers

International Small allocation, with a bias to add high quality names on weakness An uneven pandemic recovery is likely to create more attractive entry points in the future for higher

quality issuerss

2Q 2021: Sector Highlight – Identifying Opportunities in CMBSUncertainty continues to be elevated in the commercial real estate market informing our cautious positioning within the CMBS sector. As such, we continue to focus on single asset single borrower (SASB) deals that tend to have more attractive underlying fundamentals and may offer opportunities among various parts of a bond’s capital structure. Below is an overview of a SASB deal where we have identified value in senior and subordinated parts of the capital structure.

Our View: We believe there will be on-going bifurcation in commercial real estate with increasing differentiation between the “haves” and the “have-nots.” As such, properties that exhibit strong fundamentals, like locked out lease rolls and low leverage ratios, offer value in the current environment given the defensive cash flow profile. Within the CMBS sector, we continue to emphasis the “haves” via senior tranches in SASB deals but have also identified select opportunities in subordinated tranches in certain deals where we believe strong underlying fundamentals create compelling opportunities. We will continue to look across capital structures to determine where the best risk-adjusted opportunities present themselves and rotate into them based on underlying fundamentals and valuation.

Key Deal Attributes:• The property is a recently constructed Class A office tower

located in New York City and is part of a large mixed use development consisting of specialty retail stores, hotel, and residence properties as well as entertainment options.

• The building is LEED certified with 1.4 million square feet of space encompassing 51 stories.

• As of the end of 2018, the building was 97% leased with only 23% of the tenants eligible to roll their leases during the term of the CMBS loan. The limited lease rollover rate results in stable and consistent cash flows during the tenor of the property’s loan, a key attribute given continued uncertainty in commercial real estate.

• The five largest tenants represent about 66% of the property’s cash flow and these all have lease terms of approximately 15 years.

• The property has strong, high quality sponsors that should have no issues refinancing the loan at maturity.

• The loan-to-value (LTV) on the property is approximately 52%, no additional debt exists and no further debt is permitted.

Investment Thesis:• Typically, when we are constructive on a SASB deal, we find

value across the CMBS capital structure. This provides more options to invest in the most attractive parts of the capital structure.

• In a SASB capital structure, the ‘AAA’ rated tranche tends to the cheapest part of the capital stack given the high demand for mezzanine and subordinate bonds. Given that, the Class A bond allows us to invest in an attractively valued bond backed by a high quality property.

• The ‘BB’ rated tranche is typically mis-priced due to rating agency’s penalizing SASB deals for the concentrated risk of a single asset and/or single loan. As such, investing in the Class F bond provides the opportunity to invest in a mis-priced bond, adding incremental yield in a high quality, high conviction credit without incurring significant levels of risk.

• To impair the ‘BB’ tranche, the debt would need to default and a 45% severity level would need to occur. Post the financial crisis, severity levels on CMBS conduit office properties has averaged 25.5%. Over the same time period, there have been no losses in SASB office properties.

INVESTMENT RISKS It is important to note that the Fund is not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Fixed income investments entail interest rate risk, the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk, and price volatility risk. Funds investing in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise and an investor can lose principal. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities often involve risks that are different from or more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. MBS related to floating rate loans may exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation of similar credit quality. With respect to non-agency MBS, there are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in pools created by non-governmental issuers. Non-agency MBS are also not subject to the same underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee. Please see the Fund’s Prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declined steadily throughout the quarter, from 1.74% as of 3/31 to 1.45%. The BloombergBarclays US Aggregate Bond Index rose 1.8% but remains down 1.6% YTD. Strong equity performance and robusteconomic data fueled risk appetites, and lower-quality securities were the best performers again this quarter. Corporatesoutperformed Treasuries as investors continued to reach for yield in spite of the paltry yield advantage (the averageoption-adjusted spread on the Corporate Index was 80 bps as of quarter-end, the lowest since 1998). The BloombergBarclays High Yield Index was up 2.7%. The absolute yield-to-worst for the Index reached an all-time low of 3.75% and itsoption-adjusted spread hit 268 bps, the lowest since 2007.

International EquityActive Management Overview

Developed ex-U.S. stocks had a strong quarter with virtually all developed market countries posting positive returns. TheMSCI ACWI ex-USA Index rose 5.5% for the quarter and is up 9.2% YTD. As in the U.S., Utilities (-0.4%) was the lone sectorto produce a negative return. Health Care (+9.9%) and Energy (+8.2%) were the top-performing sectors. Canada (+10.0%)was a strong performer and Japan (-0.3%) was notable as one of the few countries to deliver a negative return. The U.S.dollar was mixed against developed market currencies and thus shifts were not a major contributor to relative results. TheMSCI EM Index performed in line with developed markets (MSCI EM USD: +5.0% and +7.4% YTD), but country returns weremixed. Brazil (+23%) and Russia (+14%) were top performers while Chile (-14%) was at the bottom of the pack. China wasup 2% and China A-shares (+9.2%) did especially well as softer economic data in May appeared to ease investors’ concernsover potential policy tightening.

The last two charts serve asimilar purpose but focus on the composition over time of the remaining wealth preservation portion (non-equity) of themanager and index glide paths.

Equal-Weighted - Capital Research & MgmtTarget Date Fund Family Analysis as of June 30, 2021

The following is an analysis of the suite of target date funds as an aggregated portfolio using equal-weighting by target date.The upper-left pie chart shows equal-weighting across target dates. The rest of the charts compare different attributes of theaggregated target date portfolio to a peer group of target date fund families, as well as target date indices, by mimicking theequal-weighted target date suites using these alternatives. The first two charts evaluate the aggregate equity exposure andexpense ratio via target date funds. The last two charts analyze aggregate target date performance on both an actual returnbasis as well as a "glide path return" basis (simulated returns using each funds’ asset allocation "glide path" weights andindex returns).

Investment PhilosophyGW&K believes that a company’s ability to generate long-term sustainable earnings growth will drive enhanced stock priceperformance over time, due to both the higher level of future earnings and the higher valuation placed on these earnings bythe market. Given the tendency of money managers to focus on short-term fundamentals and stock price performance, thissustainability of earnings growth is often overlooked and not properly recognized by the market. The firm believes that thevalue-added is in their fundamental research process aimed at identifying preferred companies, and their disciplinedlong-term research focus that allows them to develop a deep understanding of the companies in which they invest.

List of Callan’s Investment Manager Clients

Confidential – For Callan Client Use Only

Callan takes its fiduciary and disclosure responsibilities to clients very seriously. We recognize that there are numerous potential conflicts of interest encountered in the investment consulting industry, and that it is our responsibility to manage those conflicts effectively and in the best interest of our clients. At Callan, we employ a robust process to identify, manage, monitor, and disclose potential conflicts on an ongoing basis.

The list below is an important component of our conflicts management and disclosure process. It identifies those investment managers that pay Callan fees for educational, consulting, software, database, or reporting products and services. We update the list quarterly because we believe that our fund sponsor clients should know the investment managers that do business with Callan, particularly those investment manager clients that the fund sponsor clients may be using or considering using. Please note that if an investment manager receives a product or service on a complimentary basis (e.g., attending an educational event), they are not included in the list below. Callan is committed to ensuring that we do not consider an investment manager’s business relationship with Callan, or lack thereof, in performing evaluations for or making suggestions or recommendations to its other clients. Please refer to Callan’s ADV Part 2A for a more detailed description of the services and products that Callan makes available to investment manager clients through our Institutional Consulting Group, Independent Adviser Group, and Fund Sponsor Consulting Group. Due to the complex corporate and organizational ownership structures of many investment management firms, parent and affiliate firm relationships are not indicated on our list.

Fund sponsor clients may request a copy of the most currently available list at any time. Fund sponsor clients may also request specific information regarding the fees paid to Callan by particular fund manager clients. Per company policy, information requests regarding fees are handled exclusively by Callan’s Compliance department.
