On August 31, 2018, FIS Group, Inc. (“FIS Group”) acquired Piedmont Investment Advisors, Inc.’s (“PIA”) predecessor, Piedmont Investment Advisors, LLC. Xponance®, Inc. (“Xponance®”) is an independent, registered investment adviser and is the successor registrant under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) to both FIS Group and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PIA. Pursuant to a corporate rebranding and consolidation strategy, Xponance® was established effective April 1, 2020, to leverage the long histories of its predecessor entities in providing customized investment management products to institutional clients. FIS Group (through its former subsidiaries, Fiduciary Investment Solutions, Inc. and FIS Funds Management, Inc.) managed assets since 1996 and PIA (through its former affiliate Piedmont Investment Advisors, LLC) began managing assets in 2000. The firm maintains a list of composite descriptions and limited pool fund(s) descriptions, which is available upon request.

Total firm assets presented through, and including, Calendar Year 2019 represent total firm asset for FIS Group as, prior to April 1, 2020, this composite was managed by legacy firm FIS Group. Total firm assets presented for periods after April 1, 2020 represent the total firm assets of Xponance®.

Xponance® International Equity Complete Strategy is a non-US equity composite which contains fully discretionary non-US equity account(s) that are constructed by using the manager of managers concept and may or may not have applied a tactical completion account to implement Xponance’s top-down views, including the ability to amplify or reduce overall market beta risk, based on our risk indicators, more nimbly and more efficiently. Accounts that are no longer with the firm are included through the last full measurement period such accounts were managed in the composite’s style. For comparison purposes this composite is measured against the MSCI ACWI ex USA net Index. Since the performance inception of the composite, sub-advisor(s) have been utilized to manage assets within the Xponance® International Equity Complete Strategy. The Xponance® International Equity Complete Strategy composite was created April 1, 2015.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The US Dollar is the currency used to express performance. Returns include the effect of foreign currency exchange rates. Sources of foreign exchange rates may be different among the portfolios within a composite, and between the composite and the benchmark. Composite performance is presented net of foreign withholding taxes on dividends, interest income, and capital gains. The actual tax rate applied may vary by custodian and the investor’s domicile. MSCI uses the maximum withholding tax rate applicable to institutional investors in calculating MSCI net dividends.

Gross of fee performance results are presented gross of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Prior to September 1, 2015, net of fee performance results reflect a model annual management fee of 0.90%, applied monthly. From September 1, 2015 through January 31, 2017, net of fee performance results reflect an annual management fee of 0.70%, applied monthly. The use of actual client fees for NOF calculations, was not fully reflective of the carve-out’s asset class fee rate; therefore, the firm’s highest fee schedule is used for NOF performance calculations. Net returns are calculated by deducting the model management fee from the monthly gross composite return. Beginning on February 1, 2017 and thereafter, net of fee performance results reflect the deduction of the actual management fees. Actual management fees incurred by clients may vary. Xponance® uses the following asset-based standard fee schedule: 0.90% for the first $50 million, 0.70% for the next $50 million, 0.60% for the next $50 million, 0.58% for the next $50 million, negotiable thereafter. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS reports are available upon request.

The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite gross returns and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period.

Internal dispersion is calculated using the equal-weighted standard deviation of annual gross of fee returns of those portfolios that were included in the composite for the entire year. For those years when less than six portfolios were included in the composite for the full year, no dispersion measure is presented.

The primary benchmark for the International Small Cap Equity Strategy Plus was changed from the MSCI EAFE Small Cap (net) to a Custom weighted index on July 22, 2021; retroactively. The Custom Weighted index is 100% MSCI EAFE Small Cap (net) index from inception to 09/30/2018 linked with the asset weighted index returns of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap (net) and MSCI ACWI xUS Small Cap (net) indices from 10/1/2018 to present. The benchmark is rebalanced monthly on the beginning values included in the composite. As of December 31, 2020, the breakdown for the benchmark is 58% MSCI EAFE Small Cap (net) and 42% MSCI ACWI ex US Small Cap (net). The breakdown of the custom benchmark for different time periods is available upon request.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The US Dollar is the currency used to express performance. Returns include the effect of foreign currency exchange rates. Sources of foreign exchange rates may be different among the portfolios within a composite, and between the composite and the benchmark. Composite performance is presented net of foreign withholding taxes on dividends, interest income, and capital gains. The actual tax rate applied may vary by custodian and the investor’s domicile. MSCI uses the maximum withholding tax rate applicable to institutional investors in calculating MSCI net dividends.

Gross of fee performance results are presented gross of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Prior to October 1, 2019, net of fee performance results reflect a model annual management fee of 1.00%, applied monthly. The use of actual client fees for NOF calculations, was not fully reflective of the carve-out’s asset class fee rate; therefore, the firm’s highest fee schedule is used for NOF performance. Net returns are calculated by deducting the model management fee from the monthly gross composite return.. Beginning on October 1, 2019 and thereafter, net of fee performance results reflect the deduction of the actual management fees. Actual management fees incurred by clients may vary. Xponance® uses the following asset-based standard fee schedule: 1.00% for the first $25 million, 0.90% for the next $25 million, 0.85% for the next $25 million, 0.80% for the next $25 million, 0.70% for the next $25 million, negotiable thereafter. As reflected in the FIS Group Non-US Small Cap Collective Investment Trust Offering Memorandum, the maximum annual management fee is 0.87%. The total expense ratios for Class A and Class B as of the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end (June 30, 2020) was 0.80% and 0.96%, respectively. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS reports are available upon request.

The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite gross returns and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period.

Internal dispersion is calculated using the equal-weighted standard deviation of annual gross of fee returns of those portfolios that were included in the composite for the entire year. For those years when less than six portfolios were included in the composite for the full year, no dispersion measure is presented.

Market Plus Composite contains fully discretionary low tracking error large cap core equity accounts and for comparison purposes is measured against the S&P 500 Index. The product typically has 100-175 holdings and a predicted tracking error range of 1% – 2% vs. S&P 500. The Market Plus Composite was created December 31, 2001.

Results are based on fully discretionary accounts under management, including those accounts no longer with the firm. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The composite maintains a significant cash flow policy. A significant cash flow has been defined as any client requested cash withdrawal where we must execute trades to generate the requested cash. We will remove the cash from the account the day we raise the cash; therefore, significant cash flows out of an account will be treated as a temporary account and the member account will remain in the composite.

The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express performance. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Net of fee performance was calculated using actual management fees. Prior to June 30, 2004, net of fee performance was calculated using a dollar-weighted average fee. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS reports are available upon request.

The management fee schedule is as follows: First $50mm: 35 bps; Next $50mm: 30 bps; Over $100mm: 25 bps

Fees are charged to clients on a quarterly basis. Fees are calculated as a percentage of assets under management and vary based upon the type of product and the total amount of assets under management. The percentage fee is expressed terms of basis points (“BPS”) for our products. One hundred basis points equal 1%. All fees are negotiable.

The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite gross returns and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period.

Internal dispersion presented is an equal-weighted standard deviation of annual gross returns of those portfolios that were in the composite for the entire year. For those years when less than six portfolios were included in the composite for the full year, no dispersion measure is presented.

Yield Advantage Opportunistic Core Composite contains fully discretionary core fixed income accounts with increased credit exposure and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and is measured against the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The product typically has 75-150 holdings with duration ranging from 88 to 112% of the prospective index and a predicted tracking error of 0.75 to 1.50%. The Yield Advantage Opportunistic Core Composite was created June 30, 2003.

Results are based on fully discretionary accounts under management, including those accounts no longer with the firm. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The composite maintains a significant cash flow policy. A significant cash flow has been defined as any client requested cash withdrawal where we must execute trades to generate the requested cash. We will remove the cash from the account the day we raise the cash; therefore, significant cash flows out of an account will be treated as a temporary account and the member account will remain in the composite.

The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express performance. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Net of fee performance was calculated using actual management fees. Prior to June 30, 2004, net of fee performance was calculated using a dollar-weighted average fee. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS reports are available upon request.

The management fee schedule is as follows: First $50mm: 30 bps; Next $25mm: 28 bps; Next $25mm: 25 bps; Over $100mm: 20 bps

Fees are charged to clients on a quarterly basis. Fees are calculated as a percentage of assets under management and vary based upon the type of product and the total amount of assets under management. The percentage fee is expressed terms of basis points (“BPS”) for our products. One hundred basis points equal 1%. All fees are negotiable.

The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite gross returns and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period.

Internal dispersion presented is an equal-weighted standard deviation of annual gross returns of those portfolios that were in the composite for the entire year. For those years when less than six portfolios were included in the composite for the full year, no dispersion measure is presented.

Accounts that are no longer with the firm are included through the last full measurement period such accounts were managed in the composite’s style. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The composite maintains a significant cash flow policy. A significant cash flow has been defined as any client requested cash withdrawal where we must execute trades to generate the requested cash. We will remove the cash from the account the day we raise the cash; therefore, significant cash flows out of an account will be treated as a temporary account and the member account will remain in the composite. The significant cash flow policy applies for all periods.

The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express performance. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Net of fee performance was calculated using actual management fees. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS reports are available upon request .

The management fee schedule is as follows: First $50mm: 5 bps; Next $100mm: 4 bps; Next $100mm: 3 bps; Next $250mm: 2 bps; Over $500mm: 1.5 bps

Fees are charged to clients on a quarterly basis. Fees are calculated as a percentage of assets under management and vary based upon the type of product and the total amount of assets under management. The percentage fee is expressed terms of basis points (“BPS”) for our products. One hundred basis points equal 1%. All fees are negotiable.

The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite gross returns and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period.

Internal dispersion presented is an equal-weighted standard deviation of annual gross returns of those portfolios that were in the composite for the entire year. For those years when less than six portfolios were included in the composite for the full year, no dispersion measure is presented.
