* Subject to PIMCO’s approval, assets may be aggregated at the Intermediary Firm level when determining
the fees payable under this Agreement including certain Intermediary client assets invested in
investment vehicles, products or accounts for which PIMCO serves as manager (“Total Relationship
Aggregation Size”). Certain Intermediary client assets will not be eligible to be included in Total
Relationship Aggregation Size, such as closed-end fund, exchange-traded fund and sub-advised products
or other account assets that are managed by PIMCO or its affiliates that cannot be readily identified as
Intermediary client assets by PIMCO or its affiliates, or assets attributable to a defined contribution plan
or assets otherwise determined to be ineligible for aggregation by PIMCO or its affiliates in their
discretion due to legal, regulatory or other restrictions. The Total Relationship Aggregation Size of an
individual Intermediary is determined by PIMCO in its sole discretion. Neither PIMCO nor any of its
affiliates shall be responsible for any miscalculation of the Total Relationship Aggregation Size, nor
obligated to reimburse any fees received due to a miscalculation of the Total Relationship Aggregation
Size. In the event PIMCO or Gurtin determines at the end of a quarter that the Total Relationship
Aggregation Size is either no longer eligible for a fee reduction or eligible for a smaller fee reduction,
the higher fee rate will apply effective immediately with respect to that billing quarter and any
subsequent billing quarters as applicable.

Types of Clients Description Gurtin’s clients consist of individuals, high net worth individuals, charitable organizations, investment companies, pooled investment vehicles, pensions, retirement and profit-sharing plans (but not plan participants), corporations and other businesses, and insurance companies. Account Minimums for Individual Clients and for Clients of Intermediary Firms See Fee Schedule under Fees and Compensation. Minimums may be lower than the above for customized accounts. Gurtin may waive the account minimum or require a higher or lower minimum upon prior written notice. These minimums may be waived or modified as Gurtin deems appropriate with respect to each individual account and client. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis & Investment Philosophy Gurtin is steadfast in the belief that fixed income should represent the low risk portion of a client's overall investment portfolio, and therefore, we will not sacrifice credit quality to achieve higher returns. We believe this is optimally achieved by building fixed income portfolios that are broadly diversified and by minimizing credit risk exposure. In structuring our portfolios, we perform our own in-depth fundamental analysis to identify what we believe are the most resilient sectors based upon ability to generate revenue, financial flexibility, and downside risk. We then perform granular research on the obligors within sectors to identify what we believe are the highest quality bonds, followed by ongoing surveillance on all bonds in our portfolios. In our efforts to preserve principal, we ensure proper diversification by setting clearly defined portfolio concentration limits on sector, state of issuance, and individual obligor. Gurtin is generally not required to consider the tax status or tax needs of a client when managing investments, although it may choose to do so. Form ADV Part 2A Annual Amendment March 31, 2022 Portfolio Construction Process Our portfolio construction process begins with the development of a dynamic top-down analysis of the ever changing outlook for the economy, followed by a qualitative and quantitative bottom-up individual security selection process that focuses on securities that we believe are sustainable, and exhibit the best risk-adjusted after-tax yields. Our top-down research process involves a broad-based global analysis of macroeconomic factors, industry trends, and investment themes, as well as a determination of which types of security structures we believe will outperform given strategy objectives. Our economic outlook and structural analyses are used as the basis for our bottom-up investment strategy, in which we incorporate fundamental credit analysis to ensure high portfolio credit quality and attractive risk adjusted after-tax returns. Although portfolio management requires some degree of subjectivity, in that it involves a considerable amount of expert judgment, we have worked to make our process as objective, consistent, and repeatable as possible by relying heavily upon quantifiable factors (such as credit requirements, bond structure, portfolio sector composition, etc.) for security selection. Buy / Sell Discipline Buying We purchase, among other securities, high grade domestic Municipal, US Government, US Government Agency securities, and short-term money market securities for our portfolios; we do not purchase derivative instruments or commodity interests. We broadly diversify our portfolios, generally averaging 30-40 issues per portfolio, although this number may be lower or higher based on the size of the account as we place priority on balancing diversification and liquidity. Using our market knowledge, research capabilities, and quantitative analysis, we only buy bonds that we believe are attractively priced relative to the fixed income market. We are patient in our approach to investing in fixed income securities for our clients. We prefer to purchase bonds that offer strong liquidity for our clients. We do not have a size requirement for our bond purchases. We can buy smaller blocks if they are attractively priced as well as very large blocks (multiple millions) of bonds. Our Social Advancement approach serves as a complimentary strategy overlay for clients interested in municipal investments that seek to advance social or environmental objectives. Social Advancement portfolios utilize our proprietary technology and credit research to enable discovery of high-quality municipal bonds with which we identify as having a social advancement purpose while maximizing risk adjusted, after tax yield. The Social Advancement strategy overlay generally avoids projects that primarily benefit the private sector or have clear negative social or environmental consequences. Bonds purchased for Social Advancement are still subject to our standard credit discipline. An individual security is eligible for inclusion in the Social Advancement strategy overlay, and its sub-classifications, based on several factors including, but not limited to, the security’s use of proceeds. Gurtin uses its best efforts to identify securities, where, in our opinion, a substantial portion of the proceeds satisfy the goals of the Social Advancement strategy overlay. The determination by us of a security meeting the internal requirements for classifications as “Social Advancement”, or its sub-classifications, is solely based on information provided by an issuer in official statements at the time of the initial security’s issuance (including any refundings). No examination or audit is conducted on actual use of proceeds. Selling We sell any bonds that do not meet our credit quality threshold. In addition to selling securities due to credit deterioration; we will also sell bonds opportunistically to enhance portfolio yields and when client Form ADV Part 2A Annual Amendment March 31, 2022 ... |
